sketches and development

I knew i wanted my character to be in the form of a bear so i started off by looking at polar bears and theirs characteristics. I also looked at teddy bear toys and how they a designed to look cute and friendly.

Below is my initial sketches and as you can see how i have developed from one to the other.

I developed my sketches to look like this below, I am happy with the outcome of the bottom character and i think this would look well created on 3d max.
