Wanted to experiment with trying to draw Totoro in my own style...that is if I actually had a definitive "my own style". I have a few drawing styles depending on the subject matter (i.e. life/realism, cartoon, comics). I didn't go that far off from Hayao's original design. Wanted to give him a bit of an attitude in facial expression, so along with that I decided to add sharp angles in his design with the fur and the more angular arrow patterns on his chest. I'll try to see if I can go more stylized next time.
