Hayao Miyazaki is known for his unique approach to filmmaking, developing narratives as he creates storyboards without a fixed screenplay. His films, like Princess Mononoke, blend traditional hand-drawn animation with subtle computer enhancements, always maintaining the essence of 2D art. Influenced by both Japanese and Western artists, from Osamu Tezuka to Jean Giraud, Miyazaki’s work reflects a diverse range of inspirations. His vivid watercolor concept art, beautifully crafted manga, and the charmingly strange creature designs he and the Ghibli staff create are iconic.
