Fearless Friday, “Bearing Gifts”
The Doodlewash art challenge prompt for today is bear
I looked at teddy bears online and was inspired by these little cuties
I decided to put a hat and scarf on the bear facing forward
and gift him a gift to hold
I made adjustments as I went along,
but didn’t bother erasing them since I would be erasing everything
once the drawing was inked over
I inked over the correct pencil lines and erased all the pencil
You can download a free printable here if you want to color along
I started by coloring the hat with markers
I used 2 shades of red and a very light cool gray for shadows on the white
Next the feet, ear, cheeks and red bow on the package
Two shades of green on the scarf and mittens
I colored his furry body with a caramel color,
then went over it with dark brown,
letting some of the caramel slightly show through in several places
to add a little dimension
I painted in a soft background with watercolor and added some splatter
I couldn’t resist giving the box and black and white checked lid
“Bearing Gifts” 6″ x 5″ ink, marker, & watercolor on mixed media paper
Have fun and
Be Fearless!

So sweet – my mother collected teddy bears and she would have loved your artwork!
Jenna, this is absolutely adorable. I don’t know anyone who does not like Teddy Bears, and this little guy is done to perfection. Love his smile, his little hat, and the checked lid on the box. Fearless indeed! Happy Monday!
Simply adorable Jenna! I always think your art comes to life with your signature splatter! ♥
