Totem Illustration

Totem Illustration drawing or template of a stylized anthropomorphic figure, possibly a representation of a deity or spirit in a tribal art style. The bold, geometric lines and symmetrical design suggest influences from Polynesian, Maori, or possibly indigenous North American (Pacific Northwest Coast) art traditions. Key Characteristics Style: The artwork uses distinct, bold, and flowing lines with sharp points and symmetrical patterns, which is a key characteristic of many tribal art forms. This style is often seen in tattoos and carvings. Subject: The central figure has a large, stylized face with prominent circular eyes and a crescent mouth, and a body featuring geometric motifs including "U" shapes and triangles. Purpose: The linear quality and lack of shading suggest it might be a design template for various applications such as: Tattoos Wood carvings (e.g., totem poles or masks) Stencil art Graphic design or textile patterns The drawing style shares strong similarities with specific indigenous art, such as the Kwakwaka'wakw or Haida art from the Pacific Northwest, known for its emphasis on formline design and mythological figures.
