Baseball Bear League Collection

I had so much fun creating this mini collection. I love how the little bear characters turned out. I used human reference photos so get the poses right.

I really enjoyed the process of creating each bear character for the different poses so I will have to think of another sport that I can create animal characters for.

I have added the patterns to my Spoonflower shop the Collection "Baseball Bear League" - you can view the collection here - the patterns come in a few different colorways and scales.

I love the red feathers of this one and rather enjoyed the challenge of painting them too as you can't use white to lighten them.
