Character Design UPDATE

So I have updated the bear and I am finally happy with the result.I got my flow back with the drawing tool on graphics tablet as I have stuck with the pen tool for too long.

The first design looked ok but no personality. The pen tool made the bear too rigid and stiff.

First design looked too bland

Character sheet and new design

I wanted to use a character sheet to show certain emotions and how large the bear is compared to the main character. I still stuck to the small head and large claws.

It has some sort of my design mixed with a bit of Tim Burton. The bear looks cartoonish, which is what I aim for and has more of a flow with the lines. I didn't add colour yet and just kept it black and white at the moment.

I hope to do more characters like this design.
