Bear Down...365 Days of Drawing




Bear Down...only 130 or so shopping days left until Christmas or should I say drawing days!

Have I crossed the line drawing and painting cute bears? There is a part of me that says yes. My astute daughter's response was:" Well, it is not the best thing you have ever done".

Here 's is yesterday's drawing turned into a painting. The block-in took me quite a while to work out, believe it or not, how high I was going to put that little 'fluffian' on the canvas making sure he was either a third from the top or bottom and not centre. One thing about a DAILY drawing challenge is one really does get to draw IT ALL.

Hi, Jo! I actually think the bear is very cute and charmingly painted! So you're not the bear kind? So? It's still nicely done! Sign of a really good artist!!

Great idea for the composition. I like the slight tilt of his head too, it gives him personality!
