How to Draw a Christmas Bear

Step 1: Big head

In the middle of your paper, draw a big head wider than tall, like a sideways egg.

Tip Leave lots of room above the head for the hat.

Step 2: Round ears

On each top corner of the head draw a round ear. Add a small circle inside each one.

Tip Each ear starts and stops on the head line.

Step 3: Two big eyes

In the middle of the head, draw 2 big round eyes close together, with black dots and shines.

Step 4: Snout and smile

Under the eyes draw a wide snout with a black nose. Start at the nose, draw down to a smile.

Tip The oval pokes a little past the chin.

Step 5: Fur band

Across the top of the head, draw a long fat sausage. Rub out the lines inside it.

Tip This is the fluffy white edge of a Santa hat.

Step 6: Floppy hat

Start at the band's right end. Draw a tall hill flopping over to the left, then back to the band.

Step 7: Pom-pom

On the droopy tip of the hat, draw a round pom-pom. Rub out the point inside it.

Step 8: Round belly

Start under the left cheek. Draw a big pear body, widest low down, and stop under the right cheek.

Tip The body is narrower than the head.

Step 9: Warm scarf

Under the chin draw a fat curved scarf from cheek to cheek. Hang one end down with a stripe.

Step 10: Arms and paws

Start under each end of the scarf. Draw an arm down the side to a round paw, then back up.

Tip The arm gets thinner at the wrist. Rub out the body line inside it.

Step 11: Hips and feet

Halfway down each side draw a round hip and a flat loaf foot with 3 toe lines. Add the ground.

Step 12: Tan and red

Colour the snout and ear circles tan. Colour the hat red, and leave the fur band white.

Step 13: Green scarf

Colour the scarf green, both the curved part and the hanging end.

Step 14: Colour it brown

Colour the head, ears, body, arms, hips and feet brown, around the tan parts. Leave the eyes white.
