Greeting Card – Bjorn

Here is the finished greeting card featuring Bjorn. After careful selection from the original photo in Photoshop, I’ve placed him on a snowy background and added a few flakes and blurred the scene a little. I’ve then designed a couple of snowflake elements to carry the design through and added a suitable inside message.

There you have it!

Bear Signature

Most artists like to put their signature on their finished work and bear makers are no exception. Here’s a rough draft of a signature I’ve designed for Wild Witch Bears. I’m going to embroider it onto the finished bear’s footpad. Above is what it should look like. It’s comprised of an L for Lorraine (that’s me), a W for Wild Witch and if you look at it from the side you’ll notice the signature forms a witches profile!

The drawings above were created using 2B and 3B graphite pencils and an eraser together on smooth cartridge paper.

I’ve found that by drawing a little and then using an eraser over the top of the graphite, a fine film is produced on the paper. Layering of this film and graphite gives the drawing a more photographic effect.
