Keep in mind that they’re all affected by perspective!Īdd the length of the front of the muzzle. Start by defining the line of the eyebrows and the direction of the muzzle. Create your own process of drawing the head of a bear, something that will be the easiest for you to follow. Don’t treat this process as a rigid step-by-step instruction – rather, use it to learn the relations between the elements of the head.

The tail is just a flap of skin without any function, and it can be almost non-existent in some species. More about it later!įinish the body by adding the neck. The feet can be sketched very simply as well. The main body, for example, can be drawn as a huge teardrop or a sack: Bears are actually pretty simple to draw – their silhouette is very clear and can be achieved without using advanced musculature. The forepaws can be plantigrade or semi-plantigrade. This arrangement of feet lets them walk on the hind legs. Compare it to the wolf (digitrade) and the horse (ungulate). Bears are plantigrade, which means they’re walking with their whole feet, like us.
When you remove all the fur, fat, and muscles, you’ll see that bears are built just like all the other animals we’ve been studying.

They’re also surprisingly simple to draw! In this tutorial I will teach you everything you need to learn how to draw bears from the paws to the nose.Īs always, let’s take a look at the base of the body of a bear first – the simplified skeleton. Big, fluffy, and clumsy, bears are fascinating creatures with unique silhouette and features. I’ve shown you how to draw predators like wolves and big cats, and today it’s time for another group of terrifying beasts: the bears.
