I have posted similar to this before but just wnat to see what sort of response I get this time cos i haven't started anything yet!  I really want to design a polar bear - preferable one that can stand on all fours and sit up as well but I really don't know where to begin.  I have studied lots of different photos etc but I am still at a loss - can someone please help?
