How to Draw Totoro

Every character needs a head and body so start by drawing a medium size circle for his head.

Draw a large oval shape for his body.

In the middle of his body, draw another circle about two inches inwards.

At the end of the circle, draw two more smaller circles

You should roughly have a body with arms.

Draw some more small ovals (the bottoms turning inwards) for his legs.

Draw some tiny little circles in the bottom of them for his feet, then add the claws at the top of them.

In the middle of his two feet and legs, draw a tail, which is like a semi circle but longer and thinner.

Moving on to the head, draw three long whiskers on each side of his head, above his neck.

The eyes should be small circles with black dots in the middle and two white dots left out for a bit of shine.

The Nose should have a fluffy line just above it and it should be a small upside down triangle.

The ears have spiky fluff at the join to the head. Try to imagine them as bunny ears.

He likes to sit on branches, so a branch would be good for him to sit on, and a clover leaf on his head in the middle of his ears.

Finished.
