Yay!! Finally something new.

Well, I'm the main idea is to recreate winter but adding some sort of warm feel to it, so I decided not to use the traditional colors you see in winter illustrations such as blue, purple or grey, instead I went for earthy tones. It is winter but it doesn't need to be that cold.
Polar bear took me a bit of work doing all the fur and such, it was exhausting -_-.

Anyway, hope you all like it.

NOTE**** After receiving some comments saying there are no polar bears in Scandinavia, I feel in the need to make clear that I'm already AWARE of that fact. No need to mention it anymore. There's something call imagination where is not necessary to stick to reality, if I want to paint a polar bear having a tea party with a dolphin at the beach, I can do it. What is important is the story behind the image. I mean, the bear probably scaped from the zoo and the girl found it. It's up to you to create that story. Thank you.

Oh thank you, I'm really glad you like my style. I'd like to publish a book someday, but I haven't had the inspiration yet, need to sit and think what it might be about ^^.

yah.. it's difficult trying to come up with a new idea. you could always brainstorm and doddle your ideas out, maybe it'll help ^^
and it's hard with lots of children's books out there..
