Finally, a new drawing. Was sick of seeing the latest stamp I did on my front page...xD First November pic too!

Okay, so, it's the Berenstain Bears again! Been dying to make a B Bear-related drawing again...This idea is quite old though, it's not recent, I've had it in my mind for a long, long time but I was never sure to make it because I thought it would come out like crap. But I decided just to go ahead and draw it now since I've improved some, and the result is FANTASTIC, I LOVE IT. Worked very hard on this. Did it totally from scratch in Sketchbook Pro. (Finally, missed it... *hugs program tightly* ) I'm amazed Sketchbook didn't crash because for this pic, I had to use...SO.MANY.FREAKIN'.LAYERS. Since this is the first time I've tried doing, well, I won't say "lineless" since there are still lines, but I tried doing colored lines instead of the usual black outlines. And I'm happy it came out pretty good.

So yeah, here's Brother Bear and Sister Bear outside at night on a grassy hill, making wishes on fireflies. Interestingly, I got the idea from listening to the song "Airplanes" by rapper B.O.B. But instead of airplanes, I used fireflies. Kind of silly, heh. But I am estatic with how wonderful this turned out, especially with the background, I'm glad it's half decent. And it's not a plain old, white, boring background. Had such a problem drawing the clouds though. I don't understand why in real life, clouds look perfect with any kind of shape they look like, when I look up and study them for reference. But when it comes down to drawing them, for me, in different wacky shapes, it just looks so wierd and eww. But I kept trying, 'til I finally got the clouds to look somewhat good, and not some huge blob. Had lots of fun with the some of the preset brushes Sketchbook Pro had. Especially for the grass and the stars. And I was going to do shading on this pic, but I still suck at shading. :-\ So meh, won't be bothered. >.< I'll keep getting better eventually as I keep on practicing. And I'm sorry if Sister's eyes look scary. I'm still experimenting with eye style...still haven't found anything I've liked yet, without copying someone...

I'd also like to dedicate this picture to the creators of the Berenstain Bears both of which have died. (Stan)ley Berenstain (the real Papa Bear) died on November 26, 2005 of cancer. And (Jan)ice Berenstain (the real Mama Bear) died February 24, 2012 of a stroke. May they rest in peace. Also to celebrate the Berenstain Bears movie coming out soon this year, supposedly. I can't wait to see it. If it doesn't come out this year, then I hope next year. It's too bad the creators died before being able to see their beloved creations on the big screen...

Got more pics coming up! Sorry, I've been kinda slow, been really tired, and now that I have to keep looking for a job, it may take away some of my drawing time. Which would suck...but oh, well.

Well, I hope you guys like this picture. I love it alot, so proud of mahself. Gotta love those bears. I love the Berenstains. They're so awesome and cute.
