Illustration Friday!

This Friday the theme for Illustration Friday is underwater.  I immediately thought of polar bears since they love to swim underwater:)  And I like to paint bears.  This bear was inspired by a National Geographic photographer named Joel Sartore who did a whole series of animals.  His work can be found at photoark.com  I gave myself only 1 hour to work on this so I wasn't going for perfection but just gesture and fun.  I also used a few filters in photoshop to help fill it out.  Hope you enjoy!  Let me know what you think.
