Made this out of nostalgia. I use to play all kinds of imaginary games with my toys.
Drawn by hand and colored in SAI.

This is a wonderful piece. The color scheme is warm and inviting. Also, the colors chosen reflect the clothing choices. Reds, oranges, and yellows are typically colors of Fall and the young girl seems to be dressed warmly, but not bundled for winter. Great attention to detail!

I find it interesting that the bear is quite large and holding the child, when typically the scenario would be vice versa. The opposite placement draws the viewer to the feelings that toys can provide; safety, comfort, warmth, love... As children though we are the living being in the relationship we often imagine our toys as lively playthings.

All in all I love this illustration. The relationship between child and toy is illustrated beautifully, the colors are happy and inviting, and the tone brings the viewer to a more innocent time.

the focal point used and abused the details, the smile invites the watcher to the nostaligc faces, as the character is probably on the end of its childhood it connects emotionally with the heart, the tall grass close the memory to the oblivion, as some sort of secret that only the bear and the person could share, the warm sunset creates a calm and secure atmosphere wich hugs the spectador as the hug of the bear, big and warm.
That is obviously an amazing art, I loved the textured canvas.
also, sorry for my bad english, I am brasilian after all
