some friends told me that the comic bear resembles Winnie the Pooh. Even though i didn’t inted to make him look like that, i did want to create a comic bear with a round belly and a cozy looking face. I guess every bear that is folded that way might look a bit like the Pooh bear.

The model was folded from a square of 19 x 19 cm german origami paper. The difference between this paper and japanese origami paper is, that it is a bit more inaccurate and slightly thicker which makes it good to shape.
