Good Night Bear
Posted by Erin Mansfield
So I decided to play around more with the InspirARTion Windows 8 app. The first drawing I started, developed a rather evil looking face. As I kept drawing, it grew into something like a vampire/devil. It was pretty cool, but not what I was after. I decided I start over.
The next face I made, looked like an angry teddy bear. Apparently, I need to work on happy faces. After finally coming up with a more pleasant face, I then drew the rest of the outline for the teddy bear. I edited my creation with the wonderful Gimp program. I changed it's perspective and added a simple shadow. The results are still slightly creepy, but not bad. It reminds me of being a child and seeing some beloved toy in the dark shadows of the night. When very young, it's frightening. Eventually, the image becomes comforting. The strange shadow is only a reminder that it is time to sleep, while teddy bears and other stuffed toys guard the night.
