Can anyone post a side view pic of their bear with puffy cheeks?

I have done a few but I would like to see what others look like from the side.

Thanks.

Jane, I don't have one, but I'm glad you asked, because I've never quite understood whether 'puffy cheeks' means puffy muzzle or puffy under the eye area (where my cheeks used to be).

The first pic is a quick side/bottom ( kind of scary looking    !) pic of my current panda.  Not sure if I do my cheeks like others, but this is what mine look like .  Hope this helps.

The second pic looks much better in the right lighting  ;)

Thanks for sharing those photos. Now I want to get out my real fur, pattern, thread, sissors,  well YOU know ! Make a bear.
   Do you have any tips on trimming the 'cheeks'.
I've only made 4 real fur bears. I have no problem trimming a mohair face. But real fur is sooo fine that
I sometimes get  'chop' lines.  In other words the 'cheeks' are not so puffy. You can see where I've trimmed with
the sissors.
Thanks Bunches

Donna , there were some past discussions on this topic.  If you look in the library ( near the top left by the waving Smiley guy)  search under Muzzle.   Here is one thread to get you started.   Basicall, it takes LOTS of practice and patience
