BEARY BEST VALENTINE

I belong to Terry Runyan's Facebook group, Daily Creating Group, which was created to promote some sort of creativity each day.

I have posted about a few of my creations, the most recent being HERE. It is a wonderful group, with members from all over the world. For each day, we are given a prompt. To follow the prompts is completely optional, but for some of us, we look forward to each day's prompt, and follow them religiously. I am one of them.

The prompt for Sunday, the 10th, was "friend", followed by "hug" yesterday, the 11th. When doing my daily prompt drawings, not having much, if any, imagination, I consult reference photos, usually not my own.

For Sunday's prompt of "friend", I decided to really challenge myself and draw from my head. Often drawing from my imagination is a mistake, as the result is usually fairly kindergarten-ish. I've been having so much fun drawing animals lately that I decided that bears can be friends with each other. Right? So, I decided to draw this little pair without reference photos. Courageous, eh?

The following drawing is my depiction of "friends".


When Monday's prompt came up as "hug", I thought I would REALLY challenge myself and work with the same two little bears from the previous day. I wasn't even confident that I could actually do this.

This is what I came up with:


Why did I use them in today's post? I thought these two illustrations would be perfect to evoke loving feelings for Valentine's Day, just two days away. 

My dream for those of us in the US for Valentine's Day -- and EVERY day! -- is that we can start to show more love, caring, kindness and respect for one another, no matter if we are friends or not. 

WHAT'S VALENTINE'S DAY WITHOUT A HEART OF SOME SORT??

So, for Valentine's Day, here is a heart for you:


This particular heart was shown in THIS POST, in case you are interested in discovering how it was actually created. I thought it would be nice for the Valentine's season.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Beary
Smiles.
