I love animals and enjoy drawing animals in their different habitats. I felt inspired to try and capture the special lighting from learning about polar bears around the Northern Lights. I used pastels to create shadows and show light bouncing off of the snowy ice setting. I love how you can use pastels to blend and really capture the layers of the mountains and the reflections of light. I wanted this baby polar bear to be the focus as she is stepping out to see the beauty all around her for the first time. I tried to create texture on her body to look like snow. Art can capture a moment in time and tell a story!
