Critiques
The technique is nice and clean, I am especially loving the way the single strands of fur are done and the blending of the shades and the depth of the fur around the eyes.
I think the strands of feathers deserve more attention to detail since they are the only other real element in this piece, they seem a little flat in conjunction with the rest of the piece.
Over all though the shading, the bear, the mottled back ground is very well put together.
I am h oping to see more of these animal spirits from you, they are good for the soul, as well as very original.
