What does the Bear say?

Since I am taking it slow this week I thought for fun I could show some of my process of creating an illustration.

 

It all started with sketch that I did during the 2014 SCBWI Winter Conference

 

 

  From that I did an ink sketch

 

 

 then I was playing with watercolor and came up with this

 

 

 

I went back to the original sketch scanned it and stretched it with Photoshop

also added some flowers

 

 

from that I re-inked part of the head

 

and I pencil it onto watercolor paper and came up with this

 

Was not a 100% happy so I scanned the darn thing and changed a few things around

until I got this  

 

 

So not sure if I am completely happy with this I may go back and redo it one or two more times. But for now I am going to leave it alone and work on something else
