Description: I know a lot of you have been waiting for this lesson so therefore I will finally submit it. Here is "how to draw Kodama", step by step. These white skeletal looking ghostly or spirit beings have a very creepy appearance. If you are a fan of the animated movie 'Princess Mononoke' you will recognize this white figure you see before you now. These creatures or beings are spirits, and it is believed that they live within the trees but of course not all. Since Kodama live secretly in the trees, it would be hard for someone to know if a Kodama lives there. Because of this if someone cuts down a tree that is home to Kodama, that person will experience a stream of misfortune. Did you know that Japanese believe in Kodama too? It's true, Kodama has been part of Japanese folklore and they are said to be like Dryads. Drawing a Kodama will be easy so I'm confident that all will end well. Peace out people and remember to leave some feedback. Adios mi amigos!
