I woke up really early one morning and powered through most of the things I needed to do that day, including making dinner, before 10am. I, therefore, bought myself lots of free time, including art time. That afforded me the opportunity to develop this little character and create details within the illustration. The proportions are whack but that’s kind of my style so I embrace it. I have struggled to identify my visual voice but, in recent years, I have gradually gained a sense of what my drawing style is. I think this little Bear Girl is a good exemplar of the elements that embody my style. I certainly had a great deal of fun creating this illustration and this is really the approach to art I want to focus on going forward.

You “out fitted ” her really well. Good work.
Thanks. It was fun just conjuring up a costume out of my imagination.
She looks ready for anything!
Thanks. I am glad she looks rough and tough and capable. That is what I was aiming for.
This is better than so many kids’ book illustrations.
Thank you very much. That’s so very kind of you.
I like her stance. Don’t mess with her. And I agree with the earlier commenter. The illustration is professional quality, I think.
Thank you very much, Claudia. I really enjoyed working on this drawing so I am glad it was successful.
