Teddy

Still suffering from painters block, but making myself sketch everyday, at least today I put colour in the sketch, thats a start !

Teddy

This fella belongs to my wife and lives on top of the radio/cd player, I thought he must be very bored sitting in the same place everyday, so I let him sit on the window sill while I sketched him. I used a black ballpoint and then coloured pencil. My wife has already claimed the sketch for next years Christmas card, she’s really thinking ahead!

    Hi Phil,

    Love the bear. I have a special bear that I usually sketch for blind contour Friday and that I love to sketch while looking.

    I love how you use circular squiggles to indicate fur and hope you don't mind that I try that method.

    xoxo

    Haha, that's definitely thinking ahead! I usually find myself a few weeks before Christmas thinking that if I'm going to do cards, I'd better find something to draw. Which, unsurprisingly, ends up with no cards being done.

    I like the bear, and you've done a good job capturing his pose. I find stuffed animals difficult to draw a lot of times since their limbs don't have much definition, especially from certain angles.

    It's a lovely sketch and a cuddly bear. I would like to have some drawings like this one for my christmas cards too!
    I've seen your other works, and I love them!
    Hugs!

    Aww very sweet. You did a great job catching his soft and fluffiness. I really like how your 'Tabby' cat is coming out.

    He looks bored! Beautifully drawn - we do not always have to paint.

    Great sketch! Maybe if I start thinking about Christmas cards now, I'll actually get them done in time and not end up sending New Year's cards!

    What a nice sketch of a very cute bear. Nice remedy for painter's block, too.

    Such a cute little teddy! I have been surrounded by teddys lately. I see them everywhere :) Maybe because Valentine's day is coming soon
