I'd love some more constructive crit for these.  (specially from all you 'northerners')

This is part of the same story that the 'polar bears watching the aurora' was from.

this is the cubs in 'school' learning how to hunt ptarmigan.  Yes, one of them is yellow for a reason.

the little yellow cub cannot catch one.

Greetings! I'm new, and I've friended you so that I can gape at your pretty art. I keep following links and ending up on your site. Anyways, The cubs are adorable in that top pic, but something is bugging me about the bird. I draw alot of birds, and this happens to me frequently. I think you may need to soften the line that is between the birds belly and its wing, because it is making the wing seem detached from the body of the animal. Everything else in both pics is georgous-- the bird in flignt is beautiful. Just that one line on the bird in the top pic keeps drawing my eye for some reason. So thats my two cents, if you don't mind it. I love your coloring too, I should add. I can't color things for the life of me, but the shades you have chosen let you feel the cold of the snow and the air. Cheers!!!

Hi! *friends you back!* Thanks so much for your comments! I can see what you mean about that line. I think the problem is that that it is darker than the outer lines of the bird, so it therefore looks deeper or further away. :~P Which is confusing to the eye to say the least! :~)
