Polar Bear

A slightly late birthday present for my friend, Brenda. I wasn't sure what to draw for her, so I hope she likes it. I had some problems with the sky, but it worked in the end. I had to do everything except the polar bear from memory. XP Blame any mistakes on that.

I've never done anything with lighting other than typical daylight stuff, so I was excited to take the risk and experiment by trying the lantern's glow at nighttime.

Watercolors, ink. 6x5 1/8". March 5, 2011.

EDIT: This wasn't meant to be a "The Golden Compass" piece...I don't know that story. I just thought it would be cute to have a kid with a pet polar bear looking at the sky. XP
