The Beginnings of Bear.


Hi Everyone, this is another coincindence for me as I happen to have just started illustrating a story my friend has written. I've never done this before so I'm treating it a bit like a college assignment and hopefully will end up with artwork suitable to send to publishers! Here's a page of studies I made of one of the main characters. He's called 'Bear.'

bear is so cute and I love all the faces of bear he's adorable. I can't wait to see what you will do with him. Colors, situations, and scenes. This is really a great start Jess.

Great start, Jess! I love all the faces, I'd like to see more full body examples of Bear doing different things and from different perspectives. Very good renderings.

How fun. I really like the two at the bottom -- their expressions bring them to life. I also like the one hugging his knees.
