Hug more, worry less

I wanted to make an illustration to represent the expression "Bear Hug" and what we feel with this hugs. When a hug lasts 20 seconds, a therapeutic effect on the body and mind occurs. The reason is that a sincere hug produces a hormone called "oxytocin", also known as the love hormone. This substance has many benefits for our physical and mental health, which helps us, among other things, to relax, to feel safe and calm our fears and anxiety. Hug more, worry less! (:
