Practice adding layers and exploring the layers palette by working through the bear exercise.

Add a new layer and name it "nose". Draw a nose shape on this layer using a brush or selections that you fill with black. I used elliptical selections: the first one oblong, the second one round (added to the bottom of the first one), then two small round ones subtracted from the bottom of the second one for nostrils. I did not understand the two round ones subtracted part ??
