Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: mum's big head.

Step 1: Mum's big head
Near the top, in the middle, draw a big head. Make it wider than tall, with fat cheeks.
Tip Leave room on each side for the cubs.
Step 2: Round ears
On each top corner of the head draw a round ear. Draw a small curve inside each one.
Step 3: Mum's eyes
In the middle of the head draw 2 oval eyes. Put a big black dot in each.
Tip Leave a tiny white shine in each eye.
Step 4: Snout and nose
Under the eyes draw a wide oval snout. Add a black nose on top and a w smile under it.
Step 5: Pear body
Rule the ground low down. From under each cheek, draw a pear body down to it.
Tip The body gets wider towards the ground.
Step 6: Mum's tummy
Inside the body draw a tall egg for her tummy. Keep a gap all round it.
Step 7: Arms and paws
From under each cheek draw an arm down the side, round a fat paw and back up.
Tip Rub out the body line inside each arm.
Step 8: Big feet
At each bottom corner draw a big oval foot on the ground. Draw a small oval pad inside.
Tip Rub out the body line inside each foot.
Step 9: Two cub heads
On each side, low down, draw a small wide head. Give each one 2 round ears.
Tip A cub's head comes up to mum's arm.
Step 10: Cub faces
Give each cub 2 black dot eyes, a small oval snout, a black nose and a smile.
Tip Leave a tiny white shine in each eye.
Step 11: Cub bodies
Under each small head draw a little pear body down to the ground. Draw an egg tummy inside.
Step 12: Cub arms and feet
Give each cub 2 short arms hanging down and 2 small oval feet on the ground.
Tip Rub out the body line inside the arms and feet.
Step 13: Tan parts
Colour the 3 snouts, the 3 tummies, the middle of mum's ears and her foot pads tan.
Step 14: Brown fur
Colour all 3 bears brown, around the tan parts. Leave mum's eyes white.
