PijangibearsAre there somebody, who can help me.
How do I make the front paws on a Polar bear, when the bear is to be sitting and on all four legs.
I have seen Karin de Lorenzo's bears - they both stand up or sit and on all four legs.
The front leg paws are different - dipend on how the bear is posed.
Do some of you know, how I'll make the paws that way.
Any help is appriciated.
Posts: 102You have to design a pattern for a streched paw/leg (like on the sitting bear) and insert a wire armature, then you can bend the paw up or down in any position you want. 
PijangibearsThank you Elli, for the advice - I think I know, what you mean, do you think, that I need to turn the paw in the design,
or is it just the wire that will do the job by turning the paw down when sitting
Posts: 102I've drawn this very fast, so it's not very accurate:
The pattern could look like figure 1, then the stuffed arm would look somewhat like figure 2.
But if you insert a wire armature and stuff the arm not too hard you can bend it in many positions like in figure 3 (the red line is supposed to be the armature).
Does this help?
PijangibearsWow - that is exacly what I was after. Thank you so much. :thumbsup:
The drawing helped alot.
