Illustration Friday: Imagination

My sub­mis­sion for this weeks Illus­tra­tion Fri­day theme – Imag­i­na­tion. For some odd rea­son, when the word imag­i­na­tion came to mind, I thought about when I was a child and was com­pletely con­vinced they had their own lit­tle worlds and were just out there liv­ing, just like we do. So this week I drew a bear danc­ing in the woods – which is totally what the do when no one is look­ing  - right?

What do you think of when you hear the word imag­i­na­tion? I would love to hear your thoughts on this illus­tra­tion or your Illus­tra­tion Fri­day ideas.

    Adorable! And yes, I still think there are places where bears dance in the woods in their cute mag­i­cal out­fits with the mag­i­cal lit­tle vic­tro­las. Why not! Really lovely color choices and col­lec­tion of details. The trees are really nice! I think if we can imag­ine it, then it may exist some­where, even if it’s just a totally mag­i­cal place we may never get to visit.

    Beau­ti­ful piece! The col­ors are per­fect and I adore the lit­tle bird and the bear’s suspenders!

      Thank you so much Han­nah! I love the sus­penders too — that was in my orig­i­nal con­cept draw­ing and was a must have! It is funny how things get added and sub­tracted going from sketch to illus­tra­tor but there was no way I was loos­ing the suspenders!
