Hi Everyone:

Well, I have started to design my first bear.  I decided to do a young lady, type bear.  I managed to do ok, but needs tweaking on the body with the breast part.  However, I am really stuck on the legs, what size width is the norm for a bear apx `12"? Or maybe she is having a hard time standing because she is to top heavy.  Ripped everything out and trying again, good thing I am using a heavy muslin for the prototype.
Thanx everyone

A couple different bear books I have suggest that in general, body, arms and legs be approximately the same length.  And that as a general guide, legs and arms be half the width of the body.  Hope that helps.
