We Bare Bears

Background Design

Cartoon Network's show, We Bare Bears, premiered in 2015. I freelanced background design on many of the first episodes and occasional episodes since then. The quality of the backgrounds has a light, somewhat sketchy line that doesn't adhere to rigid perspective. Buildings and objects seem to have a slight, off-kilter sway to their form. That's fun to draw.

The marina is a mix of industrial and recreational.
