Sketch post -- Day 3

Here is a sketch I did back in September when I watched the movie My Neighbor Totoro for the first time.
This sketch is of a scene in the movie where Totoro stands at a bus stop in the rain waiting for his bus. The bus he is waiting for is not a normal bus -- it is a cat-bus...basically a huge cat with lots of legs, windows, a door, and mice with glowing eyes as lights in the front and back of the "bus." Rather than an umbrella, Totoro only has a leaf to shield him from the rain. Totoro is a forest spirit who lives in a big tree and harvests acorns and other seeds with 2 other Totoros (a tiny white one and a medium-sized blue one). This is a great movie with fantastic animation produced by a famous Japanese animation studio: Studio Ghibli. I also highly recommend the movie Spirited Away by the same director (Hayao Miyazaki) from the same studio (Ghibli).
