Blake's Bear

A while ago I was asked by a friend's partner if I could do a commissioned painting for their nursery room, in time for the birth of their baby. I had a lot of freedom - they wanted something to go with their teddy bear theme, and something unique and in my style. So to start I drew them a bunch of bears and they picked out the ones they liked. They were very fond of the bear playing with blocks, so I drew that one out again and did a few colour roughs for them to choose from.









After we worked out some colours that we liked, I set up my painting stuff and began! Here's some progress shots of the painting, and the final is at the bottom. They were very happy with it, and they've gotten a few comments about it apparently. I was certainly happy with how it turned out, I would say it's my best painting to date!!
