A Polar Bear's Tea Party

In the world of my creation we have again some normal enemies as happy friends. As I stated in yesterday's post, we artists are allowed to create the world as we see fit. Thus today I have normal tundra enemies, such as the polar bear, arctic fox, and the seal, as happy compatriots.

I imagined their little world thus:

"Polar bear began to realize she may have accidentally served herbal tea, as her guests were beginning to nod off. What was a hostess to do?"

As is usual for these type of pieces I begin with a rough pencil sketch.

I might tighten it up, then ink it before coloring, but in this case I played with some color first.

Here is this section you can see where I begin to erase pencil lines and start inking a more definitive image. I then go over it again, after ink, to add more watercolor, in this case. I often use oil pastels but sometimes like the dreamy quality of water.

I hope you enjoy it and that your day is filled with tea parties and treats. Let's hope you don't get slipped herbal tea by mistake, unless you are looking to slumber away your day; which doesn't sound half bad.
