He's so cute! *hugs the cute bear*

Now that is a shaggy rolled bear XO3

Hehe

Very interesting style and design, great work!

Thanks its cool to me style wise animals that walk and talk not so much into the human with a tail in ears

can I watch

Maybe

I like the coloring effect with your bear; he sort of glows, you know? What are some of the things you did in Photoshop? This is cute!

Thanks !! Well In PS I used the pen tool, cut the character out to place him on a new back ground. Added a slight blur to give him a smoother look. Added a canvas texture to the character and background. Thats about it really Thanks for looking

Yay for jolly fat bears!

Thanks buddy I appreciate your input I do see that now you pointed it out looks kinda goofy but I like the over exaggerated style and the stretch and squash theory that Disney animators base off of . But i will ref anatomy more

That is one big ol' bear!

Cute! Really love the shading. Makes his fur look shiny. :3

Be careful with some of your anatomy, though.

Thanks dude *Hugs* Yeah I know its not my strong point try to shy away from anatomy have no life drawing experience. I developed by ref really toony drawing

nice pic :o) I like that you did it the old fashion way and not all computer generated. I like to draw on paper myself too, I do a pencil sketch and then ink over and color on the computer most of the time because it's faster but I prefer to color with pencils too.

I love the pose and the big rump, the shading is really nice good job with the pencils, the line work is great too with nice shaggy fur, front paws look a little skinny but that might be just me that thinks that cause I like paws :o) I like the expression on his face, very happy and I like that he looks like a bear, personally like bears to look like bears not humans which your does. Awesome work Baloo

Have a good holiday

Fuzzy

Thanks Bear *pokes your belly* *hugs* You have a good new year !!

Well hey there! :)

Lookin good so far! :) I think you really did a good job capturing the bear's weight with his general form and thick heavy body and body folds. :) the paws look nice too, as well as the toony happy face. :)

If I were to make one piece of constructive criticism, is actually a small one: You have this nice earthy sienna brown-ish color going for the bear... and that really flat saturated RED for the tongue, sticks out like a sore thumb to me. :) So I'd say to just try and keep in mind the harmony of your colors. View your artwork from different angles and in the mirror and stuff to see it in a different perspective to see what you can work on (this goes for colors, forms, composition, balance, etc.) So for the tongue specifically, I'd use a more "earthy" red".

Also, as a side note, it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine, I think it's totally important for artists to sign their work, but just my opinion, I PERSONALLY find giant watermarks to be overly distracting from the artwork, and are more obnoxious rather than helpful. The way I look at it, is if someone wanted to steal artwork, it's easy enough with Photoshop to get rid of most signatures anyway, so why not just let the art speak for itself and not worry about thieves?

Just my two cents. :)

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Buddy I really appreciate your input *hugs* and your right about the tongue I now notice what you mean :) Watermarks I do agree with you. But just spent alot of time for some one to steal it iv seen people take credit for others works Pisses me off so much. I figure is some one wants to see it with out a watermark badly enough they could buy a print

I know what you mean about people stealing art, I have seen plenty of my art and photos on other peoples sites trying to make money off them, what I do is post low res version under 500x500 pixels that way it's not something that they can really print. I send hi res versions only to the people who I do the pics for or to friends.

I always forget to sign my work too :o)

Thats a good idea *rubs your belly*

Go ahead

Wow! You weren't kidding about this! I agree this may be your best bear evah!

Hehe Thanks Buddy *wiggles tail*

Cool. :D

Thanks Dude

tiny wolf hugs big bear butt*

hehe Smiles

smiles up at you and wags happily*big big bear <3

Awwww, very cute!

Not sure what I would suggest here ... if you're looking for specific things to work on, I'd suggest trying to research a bit into how you draw the structure of the character ... the underlying masses of the body, and the face/head. But really, this drawing isn't bad at all!

(Sorry it took me forever to reply, been busy here ...)

Thanks Cooner! Cool suggestion I will try to study life drawing and structure more Torrle told me to do this many times Iv always been a fade to because I don't want it to take from the toony style I love so much Thanks For looking

I've found that the more you learn to draw (honestly and diligently), the more it helps ALL your drawing ... A few weeks of intensive life drawing would always end up making my cartoony drawings look even better. :) Good luck!

It's the underlying drawing, pose, attitude that shines with life ... a realistic or cartoony finish is just the icing on the cake!

That makes since Thanks Bud I appreciate it

nice.

Thanks

OMGOSH!, That bottom is something else xD.
