P is for Paddington and Polar Bear

Just so happened that I was making two bears that start with the letter P.

Paddington bear was made for my sister who is a Paddington Bear fan. I don't know when she started falling in love with him, but he sure is adorable. I found out that Paddington's face changed over the last 50 years, which explains why some pictures has a more squarish snout and others have a more roundish-pointy one.

I actually found a picture of balloon paddington on mbd2.com and worked my way from there. It's about 50-60cm tall when standing.



This polar bear came because I had 350Q whites what I wanted to try. It's winter here now, so what better creature than a polar bear! Also to try out this new snout technique that I've been working on after watching a youtube bear tutorial.

My 5 y.o. helped to draw the mouth and decided that it was to be a girl, so she added a heart for it. I can see rooms for improvements, but for now, I'm happy with the way the snout and eyes worked out.
