Waiting for the Bus

Description

Totoros! One of my favorites for sure, and one of my friends, I created this for her birthday. This piece is based off of the wonderful cat bus scene, but I decided to depict the other totoros waiting for the bus rather than Mai and Satsuki. Made with water colour, and white gel pen for the rain.

My Neighbor Totoro is still one of my favorites by Miyazaki. :D I'm proud to say that I've gotten my 3 year old sister hooked to it.

I think this makes for a very cute gift for your friend. I like that you've changed the scene up a bit, and depicted the little ones with Totoro instead of the human girls. I particularly like that you've got their reflections in the wet pavement. Nicely done!

I think that if you darkened the setting a bit where light wouldn't be hitting, it would help the characters pop more against the background. It looks a little too bright overall, for being a rainy night. :)

Anyways, I bet your friend loved this! Great choice for a birthday present!
