Polar bears, says David, are almost the perfect predators of the Artic. Despite their creamy white appearance, they actually have translucent fur with black skin. Amazing, but it is actually the reflections of the sun that give them their perfect camouflage. They appear white at midday, then their fur appears to change as the sun goes down. David goes on though, that despite this little known fact, "it doesn't help when you try to draw them with grey pencils on white paper".
David adds "Ever since I saw those miserable images of the pacing Polar Bear at a zoo when I was a child, I knew it was right to make sure my drawings were showing these animals where they belong, in the Wild!"
