Quick question to pass the time...

This week I\'ve been covertly spending 15 minutes a night sculpting a Valentines Day gift for my girlfriend: a small bear holding a heart. I finished sculpting last night and will quickly paint it this evening.

The question is, what colour do I paint it?! My current thought is yellow, with blue button eyes. As its holding a heart (to be red) I thought this would keep it simple (primary colours only).

Here are a few other suggestions - which do you think is best? (Apologies for the lack of photo - to come tomorrow!)

Thanks for the input :) In the end I decided to make use of my much neglected yellow paint!

I\'m pleased enough with it but due to limited time I buggered up a couple of bits (over zealous drybrushing on the fur and somehow I worked some dust / dry paint into the white on the heart, grr...).

To sculpt it took me 4 sittings of 10-30 minutes, so nothing too challenging. You might just be able to make out the washing instruction label I added to the back, but my crappy photography probably renders it invisible! It\'s the size of a 10p piece by the way... not sure what that is in mm...

Don\'t think the drybrushing is overzelous, it\'s just too contrasty. The shadows, to me, are too dark. The white on the heart is way too big.

Critique\'s aside, it\'s sweet. Should score you some big AWWWWW!! points.:D
