June Toons 2026 #3: Floating Bear

A cartoon illustration of a large, chunky brown bear sitting in a large floating innertube and looking dejected. The bear is slouched into the center of the tube, which is a teal color. One of his paws is hanging into the water and the other is holding a mixed drink with a straw and tiny umbrella sticking out. The bear's feet are hanging over the end of the tube, but his legs are too short to let them go into the water. The bear is frowning. There is a glowing gold sun behind the bear, and a wavy reflection of everything below. The background is a pale purple color.

Today's June Toons illustration is of a bear floating in the water and having a drink, though I can't say he's enjoying it much.

I started out feeling a bit uninspired for this one, but the shapes and colors pulled me back in. I think the reflection added a lot to it as well.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Soft air brush for shading.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
