I decided to try something different while carving this piece. With most sculptures I create, I use a lot of different photos to figure out how the anatomy works and to bring through a nice essence of a bear. So with this one I downloaded a 5 minute video of a big grizzly walking around and I would play the video and study the movement while carving. This was a cool experiment as it allowed me to see and understand more clearly how the muscles and geometry of the bear all work and fit together.
