Start with Basic Shapes

Begin by drawing simple shapes like circles and ovals. These will serve as the foundation for your bear. For example, an oval can represent the body, and a circle can be the head. This approach makes it easier to get the proportions right.

Add Details Gradually

Once you have the basic shapes, start adding details like the ears, snout, and legs. Take your time with this step to ensure your bear looks realistic.

Refine and Finalize

After sketching the details, go over your drawing to refine the lines and add textures, such as fur. This will give your bear a more polished and lifelike appearance.
