this is my new obsession! (other than lights on/off) meet a Kodama, a Japanese tree spirit. i watched Princess Mononoke (Studio Ghibli, 1997) last night for the first time and although the movie was good, these little guys were adorable. i'm going to try and make a series of five Kodama oekaki.

his legs are a little wide apart, but other than that i like it.

this is also my first attempt at any kind of shading.
