Default Fierce Bear

Can anyone point me to a pattern for a grizzly bear standing up with one paw ready to swipe and mouth open and teeth showing?

Thanks
Chris

Go to Google and use the keywords "fierce grizzly bear"; when the list comes up, look at the top and click on "Images"

Chris...

Once you have a standing bear pattern it's very easy to modify one or both of the arms to any position that you want. If you already have a pattern then you're half way there. If not, PM me and I'll see if I can help. Claude" suggestion is also valid because with a basic pattern you can use the Google references to draw in the changes.

Hello,
If you want a roughout of a bear in that pose, Moore's Roughouts has a couple. From what I remember, they are about 10" tall, more or less. I've carved 3-4 of them using one of their roughouts. If you just need a pattern, pm me with your snail mail addy and I'll stick one in the mail next week.
