Bo's First Day

Self-initiated, this was a character I created who was starting his first day at school. It was important to me to show the character how I could see him in my head; apprehensive, intelligent but shy, a really scared bear on their first day! As I sketched and got to know them better (I am intentionally using this pronoun), they encountered a bully picking on another kid. He stands up for him and even though he makes an enemy, he makes a friend. Not a real story idea, just the basis to create a character!
