Bear wrong

This was my first attempt at drawing a picture of Bear (as seen in yesterday's pic). Despite my best efforts it was nothing like him!

I couldn't tell what the problem was, although I knew is was to do with the eyes.

In the end I cheated, and overlaid the scan of this drawing over the top of the original photo (scaled to match in size). To my surprise I had all the proportions almost completely right, except I'd drawn the eyes too high up the face.

Moved them down, and suddenly it looked just right.
