Beautiful drawing! Love how you have rendered the bear so intricately with colored pencil and pen. The highlights are a nice touch. Given the focus on the bear's face, I would have liked to see more emphasis placed on the eyes, as they are not as expressive as a portrait usually allows. That being said, I don't know the quality of the reference photo either. All in all a great drawing.

This is so lifelike. Love the artwork and beautiful colours. The focus is all on the face as if you took a photo and the background soft ant out of focus. Very awesome job. I love it

I like the way you drew this bear. You put the spirit and strength of this bear in the picture....I can actually feel the character of the bear's happiness....yes every animal has character...in this picture the bear is smiling and looks very friendly. It's fur is very thick and warm looking..the hairs show that it's fur is also drawn in different directions, to give off that illusion of fur!!!.The different patterns and directions show depth by using color values of different tones. One can appreciate the realness of such a wonderful drawing! Well Done!

Excellent drawing of a bear close up. The expression on his face is cute and non threatening. The artwork has nice shading, detail work and the proportions are good. The detail in the nose and mouth are really good.
