This is an illustration that I worked on these last couple of days. I try to get inspired from the keywords that IllustrationFriday Website provides. This time the keyword was ''Steam'' so I thought I can use Turkish tea and the steam of the Turkish teapot. I wanted to create an authentic atmosphere which is mostly in Turkish rural areas' life style. The reason I chose an animal as a character was that I didn't illustrate animal as a character since my school time so this was a great opportunity for me and it makes it more cute. Also I think bears are wise and nice as a character to use in this kind of atmosphere. But just want to note that whenever I try to illustrate something related with Turkish culture it is tough to find good references, which takes more effort but in the end I always think it so worth to spend that much time in to it.
