How to easily and simply draw a bear for a child step by step
- Step 1
Let's start with the head. Unlike the previous pictures, let's draw it a little flattened, the bear is still plump. The nose, of course, is also flattened:
- Step 2
The bear's muzzle is protruding; we draw it almost like a dog's. First the outline...
- Step 3
...and then a smile
- Step 4
Now you can do the eyes:
- Step 5
Draw the ears in the shape of half a donut - the head is ready! Let's take care of the body. At first general outline…
- Step 6
Then - a belly with a navel. You can draw not a belly, but a chest, like a bunny or a cat.
- Step 7
Rounded arms, sorry, paws. It can be in the form of a loaf, it can be in the form of a drop, or it can be something in between, like mine:
- Step 8
Claw fingers, remember, like Winnie the Pooh (ours, not the bourgeois one)?
- Step 9
Now the second paw...
- Step 10
And legs. Although no, also paws:
- Step 11
In general, the teddy bear is ready. But let's show a little imagination - oops! Don't forget to add your own tricky things to our drawings. This is just a basis, a template - it’s up to you to make it truly bright and interesting! Good luck, warm greetings to the kinders! Pavel Linitsky, author of the project “We draw ourselves”
In this lesson we will learn how to draw a teddy bear correctly. Surely you had a similar toy, and someone still has it. This lesson will bring adults back a little to childhood, and children and teenagers will look at their plush toys, if they have any, with new impressions.
We take out a pencil and start drawing a teddy bear.
Step 1. At the top of the sheet of paper we will draw two small semicircles. These will be the ears of a toy bear.
Step 2. Inside these semicircles we will draw another semicircle for our teddy bear. Now these figures look more like ears. Let's move on to the next stage.
Step 3. Now we will draw the bear's head. We draw a beautiful circle for this. On one ear we connect the semicircles together.
Step 4. Inside the circle we will add a couple of circles for the eyes. We will also draw the nose and mouth of the teddy bear.
Step 5. Now let's draw the body of our bear. To do this, draw an oval under the head.
Step 6. It's time to add the arms and legs. The arms will be a pair of ovals, and the legs will also be ovals, but slightly flattened in the area of the feet.
Step 7 Draw small circles inside the right paw of the teddy bear.
Step 8 The bear cub is drawn, all that remains is to erase the extra lines and add a little color to it. Let's color the drawing classic brown. And to make it more natural that this is a toy, we’ll add a few seams on the head and body.
Step 9 Let's retouch the color a little to give the teddy bear a furry look. This way it looks more natural.
This is how we were able to easily draw a teddy bear with a pencil step by step. It is unlikely that you had any difficulties during the lesson. Therefore, you can still practice using the video lessons that you can see below.
This video tutorial shows how to draw a teddy bear simply and beautifully.
This video tutorial is a little more complicated, but the bear is also more interesting.

What You'll Be Creating
Of all mammals, grizzly bears are among the easiest animals to draw - they are large and plump, with thick fur that hides their silhouette, and they are plantigrade, so their legs are similar to ours. Moreover, their characteristic face with tiny eyes and huge muzzle makes it easy to maintain proportions. So, even if you are just starting to draw, you can safely try to draw a realistic bear with me!
This will be a very simple tutorial on how to draw a bear in one pose. If you want to learn more about drawing bears, their anatomy and types, then visit the following lesson:
1. Let's Start Creating a Bear Drawing
Proportions are the key to realistic drawing animal. If the legs are too short or too small, then even the most detailed features will not save the drawing.
Therefore, each drawing should begin with a rough sketch of the proportions before spending time on detailing. Such a rough sketch will very easily help show us the entire silhouette, so we can see errors at a stage when they can be corrected.
This preliminary sketch should be subtle, with fine lines that can be easily erased. Draw like this until I tell you to change your technique.
Step 1
Draw an oval. It doesn't have to be perfect or drawn with a continuous line. This will be the huge body of our bear.
Step 2
Divide the oval vertically into two halves.
Step 3
Below the oval, mark a distance slightly shorter than half the height of the oval. This will show us how high the body will be above the ground and create the correct proportion between the torso and legs.
Step 4
Draw a "perspective cross" below this line. It will show us the perspective of the scene and help us place all the body elements accordingly. Without this, our bear would look flat and boring.
Step 5
Draw pairs of legs, placing the “paws” in a cross in perspective. Draw the entire hind limbs and the lower half of the front limbs.
Step 6
Draw the huge arms and shoulders using a "6" shape.
Don't forget about perspective!
Step 7
Neck length is one of the most difficult places drawing when it comes to recreating animal proportions. To get the bear's body correct, borrow the length of the neck from the base of the leg length.
Step 8
Speaking of intricate drawing details, the size of the head is another tricky detail. Bears don't really have round heads, although they appear that way, so let's first draw the basic silhouette of the head.
Step 9
Let's also set the proportions on the face. First, mark the forehead and eyebrow line. Remember that the head is not flat - and you are drawing in perspective!
Step 10
Draw the line of the nose and the nose itself at the end.
Step 11
Draw the eye sockets. Sketching the eye sockets instead of the eyes at this stage will give us a more complete picture of the entire face - we will be able to imagine the eyes, cheekbones and eyebrows without drawing them.
Step 12
Determine the width of the nasal septum.
Step 13
Draw the face using a teardrop shape.
Step 14
To better see the 3D shape of the drawn muzzle, draw a plane in front.
2. Draw the Bear's Body
Your drawing should already resemble a bear, although there isn't a lot of detail in it. Take a closer look at it and try to determine what looks wrong about it. This is the last moment to correct the proportions! But if you are happy with the design, then let's add big muscles as well as massive fur to add volume to the body.
Step 1
Draw wide, upside-down “cups” just above the paws. This will help determine the appropriate paw width.
Step 2
Draw the width of the paws using correct perspective.
Step 3
Draw a rough outline of the paws.
Step 4
To add volume to your legs, add two sides to them. Just draw them roughly; their shape isn't really that important.
Step 5
Now, the easy part: draw the outlines of the plump limbs...
Hip...
And the humeral tubercle.
Step 6
Imagine your ears are attached to a headband. Place them on the top of your forehead, maintaining perspective.
Step 7
Draw the cheek, which makes the head look round.
Step 8
Complete the neck shape.
3. Draw the Bear's Paws
Bear paws are quite unusual in the animal kingdom - they actually look like human feet! This makes them very easy to draw.
Step 1
Draw a circle in front of each paw.
Step 2
Add two more circles on both sides of the paws. Keep perspective!
Step 3
Draw two more circles slightly behind the previous ones.
Step 4
Add curved claws to each circle.
Step 5
Outline the claws. Don't make them too spicy!
Step 6
Finally, add pads under the claws. They aren't always visible, but they will add some detail to the paws and make the whole design more interesting.
4. Draw the Bear's Head
Next step: draw all the details of the bear's face. We've completed all the basic proportions so it shouldn't be too difficult, so just have to be patient with me (sorry!).
Step 1
Draw a circle at the end of the snout - this will give us a nice outline for the nose.
Step 2
"Cut" it from the front.
Step 3
Add nose holes.
Step 4
Add a detailing shape underneath them.
Step 5
Outline the entire nose.
Step 6
Divide the remaining nasal septum into two halves.
Step 7
Use a guide line to draw a "heart" on the forehead.
Step 8
Determine the location for the eyes just below the eyebrow - the eyes will be tiny!
Step 9
It's time to add the eyes:
Step 10
Draw eyelids around the eyes.
Step 11
Add a little thickness to the edges of the eyelids.
Step 12
Draw round pupils.
Step 13
Complete the eyelids.
Step 14
Draw the "eyebrows".
Step 15
Draw a circle at the front of the muzzle: where the whiskers grow.
Step 16
Draw the mouth.
Step 17
Add details to the mouth.
Step 18
Draw a butterfly across the entire face to create a few guiding lines for its final shape.
5. Finishing the Bear Drawing
Despite all the complexity, these were just guiding lines. Now it's time to create a real drawing with all its details! Sharpen your pencil or use a darker tool - next we'll be drawing clear, visible lines, so don't be afraid to press harder.
Step 1
Outline the details using short lines to imitate fur. Do not “close” the lines - do not accidentally completely outline the figure when creating fur. Also, don't try to draw all the individual hairs - the drawing will look better if you draw a "fur mass" instead, sanding them down from time to time.
Step 2
Once you have drawn all the details, make the outer outline darker/thicker. This will make the image more interesting even without color casts.
Step 3
Gently “color” individual fragments by darkening them. The dark areas around the eyes, for example, are very important to the look of a grizzly bear.
Step 4
If you want to shade your bear, then lightly outline the shadow areas before you begin. This will help you plan it all and avoid mistakes.
Step 5
Shade the bear with simple, straight lines that highlight the animal's three-dimensional shape.
Step 6
To enhance the 3D look of the entire torso, also shade the “top” part of the bear.
Great Job!

Or maybe you are interested in drawing in general? If you want to know more about using various instruments and drawing techniques, then you will enjoy the following lessons.
In order to draw a bear step by step, you need to prepare for this. The drawing is not the easiest, so we recommend that before starting this lesson, you first study lessons on drawing other animals.
The most important thing in drawing a bear is to convey its character and aggression.
Step 1
I prefer to always start drawing from the head. To do this, draw a circle as a basis. If you draw a bear with a pencil, try to keep the lines light - you may have to erase them.
Step 2
The base is ready, now you can start drawing the head itself. Draw the outline of the bear's head as shown below. Draw a powerful protrusion on the forehead, muzzle, and ears.
Step 3
We erase unnecessary lines so that they do not distract us. The bear's face is covered in fur, so it is important to convey the texture with light strokes. We darken the nose area and draw an eye.
Step 4
After the bear's head is ready, draw two auxiliary figures to the right of it. One should have an oval shape and be slightly inclined, the second should be in the form of a circle.
Step 5
Based on these figures, we draw the contours of the bear’s body. You can draw with light strokes to create the effect of fur on the animal's body.
Step 6
We erase the extra lines again. If you draw in a graphics editor, then it is better to create auxiliary lines on a separate layer so that they can be easily deleted later.
Step 7
We draw the paws of a bear with powerful claws.
A teddy bear is a toy loved by many children. And to be honest, many adults, especially the fair sex, are also partial to these cute soft toys. Images of bears often decorate children's and New Year cards. And small children love to draw and color all kinds of funny bears.
If you also want to learn how to draw a bear or teach it to your child, try doing it with the help of our lesson.
So let's begin:
Step one
Start drawing with an image of the bear's head. It can be round or slightly flattened (this will make the bear look plumper). Draw a nose in the center of the ellipse.
Step two
We draw a muzzle for our bear in the form of a flattened circle that goes over the nose.
Step three
Let's add a cute smile in the form of a semicircle, which we will connect to the bear's nose with a short line.
Step four
Let's add eyes. They can be drawn in the form of dots, small ovals, dashes, or made round like beads.
Step five
We draw ears in the form of semicircles or small incomplete ovals on the sides of the bear’s head. Inside each ear, also draw half a circle or oval. This way we will add visual volume.
Step six
Let's draw the body of our bear. It also has a round shape.
Step seven
Let's draw a tummy for the bear. In principle, instead of a tummy, you can draw a breast or completely skip this step in drawing.
Step eight
Let's draw the upper leg. It can start at the very neck of the bear cub or go down a little lower. The shape can also be oval, teardrop-shaped or slightly curved.
Step nine
Let's add claws. If you want, you can also skip this step.
Step ten
Let's draw the second paw. It may be a mirror image of the first, or it may be directed in the other direction.
Step eleven
By analogy with the upper ones, we draw the lower legs.
Step twelve
In principle, our bear is ready, but if desired, you can add a few more details.
Step thirteen
Color the bear yourself or invite your children to do it.
Now that you know how to draw a bear, you can continue your artistic experiments. Try to portray a bear in a sitting position, dress him in a cute shirt. Also, using a similar scheme, you can get the famous Winnie the Pooh or everyone's favorite.
