English artist Ernest H. Shepard illustrated Winnie-the-Pooh and helped establish the characters’ familiar appearance. His drawings of Pooh were modeled not on Christopher Robin Milne’s teddy bear but on Growler, a bear belonging to Shepard’s son, Graham. Shepard also illustrated Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows and contributed artwork to the British humor magazine Punch.
