This was made using Paint Shop Pro 7 and Eye Candy, but you can also use the CurlyQ's effect for a nice result.

If You want to use selections, you will need to download these Selections, and save them in your selections folder.
or use the polarbear.psp file, contain one emty layer and all the selections, in Alpha Channel..

* To use selections, choose
   Selections - Load from disk (from Alpha channel if you using the psp file).
   Fill every selection with the foreground color, 
   contract the selection by 1 and fill with teddy pattern.

Pattern to use,

   

Remember to save often...

  1. Open 350x350 transparant background, (I have filled my background layer, with a dark color, it makes it easier to work with, and for you to see...)

  2. Set your Foreground colour to gray #808080 and your Background colour to Pattern, the white teddy Pattern, see image 

  3. Add new layer, call it body.

  4. Use the Preset Shape tool an make a circle for the body 
(or use the polar_body selections)

Rightclick on the layer, choose Duplicate,
and with the Mover tool, move the head into position

Rightclick again, and rename the layer head.

 5. Create a new layer named backlegs ..
Use the Preset Shape tool an make two legs, and one feet (see my image below) 
(or use the polar_leg -feet and toes selections), then use the Draw tool and draw lines for the toes.. (optional)
Then, move down the legs and toes .. under the body layer..

   

 6. Create a new layer named frontlegs, above the body layer .. 
Use the Preset tool an make two legs, and two feet (see my image below) (or use the polar_leg selections), then use the Draw tool and draw lines for the toes.. (optional)

 7. Create a new layer named ears, above the head layer .. 
Use the Preset Shape tool an make two circles, (or use the polar_ear selection)

 8. Create a new layer named muzzle .. 
Set the Foreground Color Null  , and change the background to black color. Use the Preset Shape tool an make a vector rectangle selection like mine, 
(Or use the muzzle selection) 
Use the Object Seletor tool, and press Node Edit, rightclick in the image and choose,
Edit - Select all, rightclick again, and choose Node type - Symmetric.
Then rightclick and choose, Quit Node Editing ...
Choose, Layers - Convert to Raster Layer.

Effects - 3D Effects - InnerBevel, Presets: Round, but change the Angle: 0, 

 9. Now the mouth and eyes. Create a new layer named eyes .. 
Use the Draw tool and paint the eyes and mouth ...
You polarbear would look like this ...

10. Now the fur ...

Repeat this step for every layer ...

We are going to give all the layers some nice fur..
Use the Retouch tool, and "paint", make small strokes inwards, (to make the fur, trying to follow the head body parts shape.) Retouch tool  settings see the image

This will take a little time to get use to and to get it just the way you want. 
(I didnt use the Retouch tool for the toes, eys and mouth)


10. Now some more fur ...
with the EyeCandy Jiggle effects or PsP's CurlyQ's effect ..

Repeat this step for every layer ...


CurlyQ's
