One slab of ice, one bear, one line of water. The composition is as pared back as it sounds and it works because of the proportions: the floe is wide and low, the bear stands square on top of it, and the sky above is left completely bare.
The animal is drawn side on with its head lowered slightly and turned toward you. The neck is noticeably long and the skull narrow, which is what separates a polar bear from the brown bears elsewhere in this hub, and the drawing gets that right. Short fur strokes mark the chest, the throat and the back of the forelegs, and the rest of the body is clean unbroken line.
The ice is one angular slab with a few vertical fracture lines scored into its face, and three or four shallow wave curves ring it where it meets the water. A single horizon line runs across behind the bear.
With the bear left white and the sky left white, this page comes down to how you handle the ice and the sea. Two or three cool tones across the slab and a darker band in the water is enough to finish it.
