I love this piece! The colors are absolutely beautiful, and the way you used the colors make the picture seem timeless. I like the blue trees in the background, the shades of blue make it seem far away. I love how the other little Totoros gather around the big one. It adds a bit of cuteness. I'm looking at this while listening to the Totoro orchestra, and the picture alone brings tears to my eyes. I've seen your time lapse video, and it shocks me how easy you make it look! The only other thing I have to say is that I'm taking away a star for originality because it isn't the only napping Totoro picture. But other than that, it's great! I hope you paint more beautiful things.

This piece really deserves to be loved by many people, I really like it! However, this is my opinion : The characters aren't in any original style and the colors used are common when trying to get a "fresh" feeling. The texture of the fur and of the background makes this very pleasant, though. The characters are a bit too simple looking for how good the coloring is, but the characters are adorable. Also, keep up with this coloring style because many people aren't capable of doing that, and it makes all your pieces look good, especially when trying to Over-do the original factor. The trees in the background that are not the main focus have very good coloring quality to them, too.

Hello
When you painted the trees, did you do wet-on-wet to get the color and then painted the details when the base color dried? Thank you for your time :D

Love everything you make, never throw it away, rip it up, or erase it. Because that drawing, painting, sculpture, or sketch will help you become a better artist. Starting with believing in your own art.
