Bears in the Woods

Here is my latest illustration, the bears in the woods.. getting ready to tuck into some delicious mud/worm pie.

In this scene I was particularly interested in creating a 'dappled light' effect.  


The finished result!
Ready to photograph: the painted backdrop adds to the illusion of depth

Tracing paper, painted with semi-translucent acrylics. Holes were cut out to simulate the effect of light passing through tree canopy.
