An illustration of a bear looking content and wearing a fancy necklace. The necklace hangs down around the bear's neck with a centerpiece hanging onto the bear's chest. The centerpiece is round with a large gem in the middle, a number of round gems surrounding it, and frills around the edge. The bear has its paws up, holding the ends of the centerpiece. The drawing is in black and white.

Today's Inktober illustration was for the prompt "ornate"!

I was inspired by one of my son's toys that was laying around the living room for this one - a nesting doll of animals with a bear as the largest shell - and I'm glad that I was able to come up with an idea that fits the prompt without being a massively detailed drawing. 😅

As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Gouache brush for background shading, and the Worn 4 Subtle brush for the grunge overlay.

he Worn Subtle brush is from the Fast Grit pack by True Grit Texture Supply.

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