Build tips

• For the Self-Deprecating Bear Explorer design, set the outer silhouette and the most recognizable feature first, then fill the larger color areas around it.
• Sort the 19 labeled colors before starting; keeping similar shades separate makes the smaller changes easier to read.
• Use the row and column references on the 45 × 45 chart to check your progress after each section.
