Jack and the Bear

I drew this on notebook paper (sorry) while listening to lecture in my Anatomy class, and I really wanted to color it rather than just include it in a sketch dump.

Jack looks like he's freezing...
Where's your staff Jack?
I imagine this is only about a year or two into his..life... Rather than remain in the cities he goes into denial and ventures to uninhabited terrain, because when nobody is around it's easier to pretend he doesn't want to talk to people. He's a recluse of his own volition.
He's startled to discover that animals can see him - or at least sense him, but most of them recognize him as not being a threat. Some even seem pleased to have him around, and that helps a little.

Believe it or not this polar bear is actually smaller than it would be. In real life their snouts are about as big as a 6' man's head.
