Bear Drawing

A drawing of a bear, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

Bears sometimes look like they can be complicated to draw, with their big furry bodies. It can be hard to see where and how their legs and arms attach to their bodies. Not to worry though, this How to Draw a Bear tutorial will show students how to draw a nice smooth body with legs first, and then add some fuzzy edges all around.

Breaking this process into two steps will insure students draw the size and proportion of the bear first, before adding those little fuzzy lines all around. It’s no fun getting to the end of your drawing, and then wish you had made some body parts larger or smaller. Then again, that’s all part of the learning process!
