Hey All, I realized I hadn't wrapped this one up and that you might like to see it in its final form. I have added colored pencils to finish out the shading and details. I used a reference photo of a grizzly bear to make the color variations on the face, but I have to say that I don't think this looks much like a bear anymore since the client requested I enlarge the eyes. It looks more like a badger or something, to me. But she seems quite happy with it, so that's what really matters!

Your artwork is AMAZING. Have you ever thought of doing illustrations for picture books? I have a picture book that needs illustrations. Have a good day.

@AliCanary You're very welcome. Decided to self-publish; and they will be doing the illustrations.

It looks really cool. Yeah to me it looks a bit more like a rodent with those long canines.

maybe it doesn’t look the way you wanted to make it because of the angle still - it looks pretty cool. good job
