Default Bear #4 in work

This is Bear number 4, about 3/4 done; all that texture is time consuming.
Note the hair hanging nearly in his eyes; I thought that turned out well.

Looking awful cute 'n' cuddly Rick....just lurv the sweater his momma knitted for him, and yes, the hair falling across his forehead worked out just right. A really great bear, thanks for letting us see him Rick

At first I wanted to tickle his tummy, then maybe a big hug... until I imagined him with a Big Butt cigar in his mouth!

Great work!

I love that grin and the blue eyes and matching blue sweater are just icing on the cake.
