I am going to a cabaret night where the audience is encouraged to dress up according to a theme.  The theme we have been given is the circus.  Now, I have a somewhat extensive fancy dress wardrobe and I like to be able to wear costumes more than once – so I am updating a bear costume that I already have into a Wonderous Dancing Bear of Rave.  For some inspiration I drew some dancing bears to give me an idea of what I’d like my costume to include.  I plan to blog some how-to ‘s if ever you find yourself with a need to dress as a dancing bear…

A few practice drawings to get the feel of drawing bears

Some ideas for costume accessories etc

Costume Items:

Bear – ears/fur/claws/muzzle

Accessories – tutu/fez

How To ‘s for each of these to follow!  I’m looking forward to putting it all together, I can bear-ly wait!
