strong heart bear

I’m not gonna lie I think I bit off a little more than I can chew this time. I had the hardest time deciding what I wanted to do this year and then they released love shine bear which just made me think of my mom so I thought it would be really cute to draw her with Strong heart

but it kinda spiraled out of control from there, and I decided to draw them on this cute little playground, and although it took me a lot of time to figure out how to make this look right I think I could’ve done better on the clouds on the play structure but I think it turned out pretty well anyway,

it took me forever to finish this one cause I kept having to take breaks and walk away from it cause I was getting so frustrated. It took me forever to pick the right color palette for the rainbow and to figure out how to translate love shines colors into the vintage art style, and like I said, the clouds were never ending point of frustration. Don’t even get me started on making sure the swings look like they’re actually swinging one direction or the other and I’m still not sure they look right but I think overall it turned out pretty well although I might redo it at some point but I hope you guys enjoy it .

Friendly reminder, CHD stands for congenital heart defect and February is the awareness month for it

I did it I finally did it. It took me over two weeks from start to finish. It’s finally done. I had to push myself so hard to finish the coloring job on this like I hit a wall where I just did not want to finish but I promised you guys art and so here it is.

So the concept was kind of like a follow up to my earlier strong heart bear and grumpy bear piece where strong heart is sort of comforting him because he’s upset and the idea is sort of the sunshine after the rain how sometimes you just need someone to be there and it helps I had at one point considered making this as a two-part piece and having a second piece that would’ve been just strong heart and grumpy bear but I’m not sure if I’m gonna finish it if I do I’ll post it but at the moment it’s just a Sketch’s

You also may have noticed I kind of a redesigned, noble, hard horse a little. It always bugged me that in the cartoon he didn’t really look like a horse where has in his original sketches. He looks a lot more horselike as well as the comics, so I just sort of decided to change that a little and I feel like I like the way it turned out. I also tried to make the colors on all of the care Bears has close to their original stuffed animals has possible except true heart and noble heart colors are sort of a mix between their concept art and their movie art although I ended up using their concept art belly badges I use their TV art colors has the umbrella that they’re holding so fun fact for you.
