Totoro Forest

This piece was inspired by the work of Miyzaki/Ghibli and is part of the Totoro Forest Project. You will actually have the opportunity to *buy* this piece (all proceeds go to charity)... more details on the auction in the previous link. In the meantime, do yourself a favour and buy My Neighbor Totoro. Enchantment will ensue.

Here are some (very) preliminary sketches for this drawing, including squishy thumbnails. I start a lot of illustrations in this way.
