Erase the lines between the paws and the legs, and you’ve got a great bear outline. You should also leave the line that defines the front foreleg from the stomach. Once you’ve finished doing this, erase all the lines inside your bear’s body, apart from the one that defines the front foreleg from the back foreleg, and the one that shows your rear leg in front of the stomach. This might be the neck, where the bear’s chin needs to meet with its head, and between the back legs. Before you do this, fill in any places where you’re lacking continuous lines that will make your bear’s shape. You may not have expected a direction to rub out your hard work, but you’re now at the point where you can start taking out some of the guiding circles that you’ve put in. ![]() Put the paw in place at the end of the leg, and you’ve got the basic outline for your bear! Step 7: Time To Erase! Here, you want to draw a small half oval, again going to a similar level so that the paws will line up. In between the front leg and the rear leg, you should now have a space available. Add a paw at the bottom, and the first of the rear legs are complete. It’s best to widen the top edge of the bear’s back leg to create a “hip.” The front part of the leg should be a bit curvier and bulkier than the back of the leg. Put your pencil just below the top of the back edge of your bear’s body, and sketch a rough oval for the back leg, coming down to the same point as your front leg so that the bear will be standing on a flat surface. Step 4: Draw The Second Forelegīeneath the bear’s snout, draw a second half oval, so that the bear looks as though it is stepping forward. You can now join your head and the body by drawing sloped lines up from the back of the bear’s head, over the top of the shoulder joint, and then back down to the top of the bear’s back. Sketch a small oval at the bottom for the bear’s front paw. This should be angled a little back so that the bear’s foot will end up under the bear’s body. Starting a little bit above the bear’s back, draw a large oval that slightly overlaps with the bear’s head and with the first 1/3rd of the bear’s body. The “underside” of your rectangle, where the bear’s chin will be, should be a softer curve than the top edge, where the bear’s nose will be. This should be a small rectangle, but you want to curve the lines a little to make them natural. You’re now going to draw the bear’s snout. Next, put your pencil on the bottom edge of the head you’ve drawn, where it is slightly flattened. It may help to glance at a photo or two of a bear as you work. The head should be about a third of the size of the body, and you should aim to have it approximately level with the midpoint of the bear’s body. This wants to be slightly flattened on the lower edge, which is where the bear’s snout should end up. Step 2: Draw The HeadĪbout half a centimeter from your bear’s body, you should draw a second circle for the head. It doesn’t matter if your lines are a bit sketchy this will just look like fur. Draw yourself an oval that bulges out just slightly at the bottom. ![]() Let’s get drawing! Step 1: Draw A Rough Oval For The Bodyĭrawing a bear from the side will often produce the best results. However, there are lots of reasons you might want to draw a bear, so let’s look at some bear drawings and the techniques you can use. They are awkward shapes, lumpy, and getting anything that looks even vaguely realistic can be a major challenge. I found an anatomical study of a bear online, and made a drawing.Bears are far from the easiest things to draw. Artists need to look at lots of photos or illustrations if they want to try to draw things like wild animals we don’t see often. I realized I have never taken time to draw bears. Someday they will make a phone with a super zoom ability, but I can only hope right now. I made my way over to the place where people were gathered to see the 300 pound visitor looking down at them, and snapped a quick photo with my phone. The reporter who took the close-up photo did well. Would he be sniffing around her hives for honey?īears frequent Lyons, Colorado, 15 miles from here, which is a mountain gateway town, but a black bear in a tree here in Niwot is news. A huge treat! Then she told me she was a little nervous about the bear visiting our town, currently up a tree on the main street. Bear in Tree, Niwot, CO and honey from a Niwot bee keeper friendĭid you ever try to draw something that wouldn’t sit still?ģ days ago I dropped off some art work to a fellow magazine friend, and she gave me a jar of her own homemade honey from her backyard bees.
