Polar bears, endangered species



Illustration Friday's topic is 'Save'.
This is my illustration of a Polar bear who like many endangered species needs saving from the consequences of our actions.
According to this months National Geographic, due to climate change,"Some experts estimate that polar bears may become extinct by the end of the century unless something is done fast".
We must, as the superior species we're supposed to be, do our utmost to save these magnificent animals that we have endangered with our ignorant abuse of the delicate balance of nature.

who's been having fun with the etch-a-sketch? hehe.

No seriously this is a really beautiful and unique style you have. It's lovely and wispy and a nice mix of strong lines and delicate threads. It reminds me a bit of those cotton thread pictures. Very very nice.

Awesome style!

As far as polar bears dying, I had the following argument with someone about global warming:

Me: The polar bears are dying out.

Him: Well, Global warming isn't caused by pollution, it's caused by the earth's cycles.

Me: Um.. ok... but the polar bears are still dying out.

Him: But pollution doesn't cause global warming.

Me: Umm... fine.. but the polar bears are still dying out!

(and so on)
