Black Bear Cub Mount

We have a badger to do for a customer that he's is leaving it up to us. I am looking through photos of live badgers to get inspiration for a pose. It's nice to get motivated by seeing what other people do but interpret your piece from the real thing. Good luck!!

 

For the bear cub I would choose a playful pose. Something to bring an expression of "glad to be here" or "what's this new thing I've discovered", maybe laying on its back with a branch pulled down to its nose or something. Maybe looking into a hollow log (curiosity) would be a great look. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with it. I'd love to see it when complete.

 

I like the idea of a cub sitting on it's butt, playing with something. It's just the image in my mind when I think of bear cubs.

locate a form with similar measurements first and alter to your liking. playful is nice!

 

You are limited by the choice of forms available AND how much they can be altered. coonhollow gave you the correct advise.....find the right size form FIRST!

 

I know this isnt a black bear but I like the pose.

 

google black bear cubs and click images

 

how about that pose from burdman only looling at a Bee's nest. kinda like "oh whats this new thing, oh holly crap ouch"

 

I would chose either innocence or play.
