Why bears are easy to draw

A cartoon bear is made almost entirely from circles and ovals: a round head, round ears, an oval snout and a round body. That makes it a perfect animal for young kids and first time artists.

Tips for drawing a bear

  • Keep the ears small and round so the bear looks cute.
  • Put the eyes a little far apart and above the snout.
  • A light tummy and snout make the bear look soft and cuddly.
  • Add paw pads on the feet for an extra cute touch.
