Default somethings fishy

Here's a couple bears I just finished. I wanted do do something easy between the larger projects.. They are 6" tall x 2x2. All I put on them was minnwax special dark paste wax. Just thought i'd try something different. Comments welcome.

Feb...

Easy is my first middle name and bears is my second. Nice job! Did you use a pattern or a guide or are they pure inspiration and prespiration?
