Polar Bear Design Sketches

Here's a series of sketches where I had to design a Polar Bear character.
At first I thought it might be quite tricky to come up with enough variations of a polar bear, but done in a simple cartoony style, a long line here and a shorter distance there made all the difference and completely transformed one design to another! It's quite hard to do simple drawings too quickly, as a slip of the pen can alter the look of something too much and end up not looking like the image you were going for.
But I was really happy with the way these turned out, and am getting really comfortable sketching straight into Painter.
