Polar Bear

Well, they all cannot be winners.  It started out by putting too much water on the paper and then choosing two blues that were far too similar for the contrast I wanted.  It went down hill from there.  Not having a clear idea of what colors I wanted to use for the polar bear did not help either.  I did the initial pencil sketch of the bear back in 2006.

I think if I had not decided to use stipple on the bear, I might like this better.  That said, I am happy to have finally finished this one.  All in all, it did not come out too badly.
