#614: Beartic

Fun project for the generation 5 collab!

And I like this one much more than Chimchar. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the pokemon themselves, but some are just more fun to draw, and since I'm trying to branch out into more detailed/realistic-ish drawing, Beartic made a good pick. I love how the ice turned out, I don't think I've ever really tried to paint that before! (ignore the most basic background, it is basic and only just passible)

I had a ton of fun grizzly bear references and it was all sketched and painted in Paint Tool SAI

Comments please! What can I improve on? What do you think I did well? Are there any tips/tricks that help you when going for a more realistic look?
