Art director: Develop the one with the bear and Barbie.
Studying and recalling the Barbie anatomy.
Drawing a Barbie with a Kewpie doll leg and a bear that is tired of living.

Going shopping for a Barbie and looking for a veteran bear.
Inventing costumes for both and slightly transforming them.
Painting the bear, making him more sad and paunchy. Done.
