Himalayan Brown Bear as Totem

It was actually a lot of fun drawing this animal; firstly because there wasn't many reference pictures for colouring, so I had to rely on a couple of documentary snapshots, and then basically look at other bears that live in similar climates. And it's always a pleasure drawing an animal that doesn't have 4,000 different reference pictures. Lol.

Secondly, the Himalayan animals just don't get enough love.

Anyway, a little known fact about the Himalayan brown bear, is that it is probably the animal at the root of legends regarding the Yeti. :)

I love how serious the expression is. Kinda like someone is in front of him/her with a stick trying to defend themselves and Himalayan Brown Bear is like, 'Really? A stick? I feel sad for you.'

Heh. My silly mind, hey? ^_^
