Fancy Bear 01

Details

Fancy Bear is my little watercolor gentleman who showed up right out of a daydream. He’s got his top hat a touch too perfect, a tie that behaves better than most of us, and a monocle he probably doesn’t actually need—but insists on anyway. He feels like the kind of bear who would absolutely show up for afternoon tea like it’s the most important appointment of the week, or settle into dinner with friends and quietly decide he belongs there. I didn’t overthink him—I just let him unfold on the paper, soft and a little whimsical, until he felt like he had his own personality. And honestly, I hope whoever finds him ends up loving him as much as I loved painting him into being.
