More bears

Here's a page with a sticky note stuck to it of some bear doodles I did yesterday while waiting for renders.. It's a a page in all it's unaltered glory with random heads and arms and everything. I went for a more shapey approach with most of these.... It's weird how stereotypical and cliche some of these designs can get.. A while back I developed a series idea with some friends of mine that had a polar bear in it.. and I'm trying hard not to make this bear resemble that one. Because it's not the same character.... but in some sketches it does.. And I've seen other polar bear and penguin designs (there was a penguin in the series as well) that have looked ridiculously close to the designs we came up with back then. It strange how as artists we can draw very similar conclusions on how to simply describe a form.. Anyway.. Enjoy the page of weird inconsistant bears =)...
