Ghibli style form template
For artists who take commissions in the gentle, painterly style people associate with classic hand-drawn anime films. Clients who want a portrait, a pet or a place are asked for reference photos, while original scenes get space to describe them. Anyone ordering for business use is asked where it will appear, so the licence is clear before you start.

Questions to consider
- Which subjects do you actually enjoy drawing, and are there any you'd rather not take on?
- Which moods or settings suit your own style best, and should the options show them?
- What formats do you deliver, and do you offer prints yourself?
- How do you price personal work against business use?
How to use the responses
Open the reference photos first: they tell you straight away whether the request is doable and how long it will take. Use the mood picks and the colour scale to sketch a rough idea before you quote, so the client is agreeing to something they can see. Check the deadline against your queue, and for business requests price the licence from where the art will appear, not just the time it takes to paint.
How to customize and share it
- 1Rewrite the greeting and ending in your own voice, since clients are choosing you as much as the style.
- 2Replace the mood options with settings from your own portfolio, so people pick from things you've shown you can paint.
- 3Link the form from your portfolio, shop or social bio, and read new requests in the dashboard as they arrive.
Frequently asked questions
Is this form connected to Studio Ghibli?
No. It is a commission request form for independent artists who paint in a soft, hand-drawn anime style. Avoid using film stills or characters you don't have the rights to.
What should an art commission request form ask?
What to draw, reference images, the mood and colours, the format, the deadline, how the art will be used and how to reach the client.
Why ask how the artwork will be used?
Personal and business use are usually priced differently. Asking up front means the client knows what they are paying for before you start.
Can I use this form for other art styles?
Yes. Change the mood options and the wording in the greeting, and the rest works for any illustration request.
