I got the idea for this bear from one my daughter was given as a baby!

OK, as usual, all you need for this tutorial is PSP and patience!!

1.  Open a transparent canvas of 120 by 140.  If you wish you can flood fill with white and then create a second raster layer so that you can see things a bit better!

2.  If you have made a second layer, make sure you are on this layer for drawing!!.... With your paintbrush set at size one and color #694C31 draw the outline like this:

3.  With your magic wand, select and fill each section with color #926C4E and the muzzle area with color #D5C9B1.

You should have something like this:

NOW FOR THE SHADING.

14.  With your magic wand, select inside the nose and fill with color #926C4E.  Keep selected,

16.  Hide the background layer if you made one (click on the glasses) and then merge visible.

Save as a psp image.

OK, that's it... You're done!

If you wish, you can add some 'fluff' or leave as is!

I used the outline color #694C31, to show you how it looks.  But it is up to you how you prefer it!!
