Illustrator Experimentation - Bear

For one of the projects we had in the first year of my degree, we were introduced to Adobe Illustrator and what we could do with vector graphics. I'd already used it for my National Diploma, but I had never really learned how to use it in great detail, I'm still looking to produce some more complicated pieces for my 2nd year but for this project, we had to use Illustrator to produce an animal of our choosing. I felt like I didn't really have enough time to produce anything complicated, but I had been wanting to produce more of a cartoon style for quite some time, so I decided to try and produce a cartoon bear. The shape of the body may look quite simple, but I'm pleased with the detailed shape of the fur and the style of how the face turned out. If I get time, I'd quite like to produce some similar animals in this style sometime over the next year. Maybe a series of animals with the same facial features.
