Bear Pencil Drawings

Bear pencil drawings: a fluffy polar bear cub, a cub sleeping on its back, a big bear walking in side view, teddy bears with a gift and a heart, a mother bear hugging her baby and a bear holding a strawberry.

Sketch circles and ovals lightly with an HB pencil first, then go over the outline and add fur and shadows with a soft pencil in short strokes.

Questions and answers

What is the easiest bear pencil drawing?

The sleeping cub or a teddy bear: they are made almost entirely of circles and ovals. Then try the polar bear cub and the big bear in side view, which need more shading.

How do you draw bear fur with a pencil?

Use short strokes in the direction the fur grows, from the head down to the paws. A soft 2B pencil gives shadows under the belly and on the legs, while the chest and muzzle stay light.

How do you draw a bear from the side?

Start with a big oval for the body and a circle for the head a little below the line of the back. Add a long muzzle, a small ear and four thick legs with claws, then erase the extra lines.
