IF - polar
IF - 4.20.07 - polar
of course there were many things that came to mind w/ the word polar, but the most obvious one to me was that of a polar bear. i've been wanting to try doing something on colored background paper w/ colored pencils -- so this was the perfect chance.
the paper was cheap brown craft paper, so i think i would've been much happier w/ it on better quality paper. i didn't realize that it would be so hard to get the color to show up working on the darker background, either. anyway, next time i'll try something on better paper and when i have more time.
this drawing was done using prang colored pencils in a 8.5 x 11 piece of brown craft paper (feels like paper sack). finished picture was sprayed w/ matte finish sealant to keep it from smearing.

Great wotk on your Polar bear..I just have one problem - he doesn't look dangerous at all. On the contrary, he looks very huggable and only THEN will you find out how dangerous he was! I always like brown paper..it gives a rustic and earthy feel to everything, but yes, it is hard to work with white, even on brown paper...it does hepl when there is a but of a tooth/texture. I use the backside of brown paper, it is more rough.
Lovely drawing!
