![]() The forepaws will be easier to position with little spheres on top. The semi-plantigrade forepaws will be easier to draw if you treat them as shorter feet, with a “heel” on the back.Ĭross the joints with width lines following the perspective of the ground.įinish the form of each paw with this 3D shape: Again, this process is just a suggestion – modify it to your will. First draw a simple pose of them, keeping the joints in mind. To draw bear paws you can use your own hands and feet as a reference. They still have the pisiform on the wrist, though. The front paws are similar to the feet, and they don’t have any thumb or even a dew claw. Adjust it to the species.īecause bears are plantigrade, their feet look very much like ours. The shape of the head is heavily affected by the fur on it. Quick, short lines along the guide lines may help pronounce the form of the head and make it look more detailed. The fur dots are not very pronounced instead, the wrinkle right behind them is quite visible.ĭraw the nose. To achieve a characteristic look of bear eyes you need to draw some more details, especially the folded eyelids. The eyes are brown or black, and darkening them may be necessary to get a real bear look even if you don’t want to shade your drawing. The iris has a black outline, and there’s often some white of the eye visible. Outline the eyes, and give them the edges of the eyelids and the eye corners.ĭraw the round pupils. Details will make it look nicer of course, but the proportions are the most important! They are round and quite long under all this fur.īefore you add the details, make sure your head already looks bear-like. They’re very loose and prehensile, and they seem to have the life of their own.ĭraw the ears, drawing them in the back of the skull, right behind the eyes. Tiny eyes in a big head are characteristic for bears.ĭraw the lips. This will help us see the perspective and adjust other elements to it.ĭraw the flat nasal bridge and the forehead.ĭraw the tiny circular eyes on the sides of the muzzle. In bears it has a wide base.Īdd the eye sockets, drawing them like upside-down glasses in the upper part of the muzzle.ĭraw the flat front of the muzzle. No matter the species, it’s better to draw the head as a skull first, adding the characteristic shape created by fur later in the process.ĭraw the shape of the muzzle. 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.
