How to Draw a Polar Bear with Cub

Step 1: Mum's head

On the left, near the top, draw a big wide head. Add a small round ear on each top corner.

Tip Make the head wider at the cheeks than at the top. Leave room on the right for the cub.

Step 2: Mum's eyes

Across the middle of the head draw 2 oval eyes. Add a black dot and a white shine in each.

Step 3: Snout and nose

Under the eyes draw a wide oval snout. Draw a black nose at the top of it.

Step 4: Mum's smile

Draw a short line down from the nose. Curve a smile out to each side.

Step 5: Mum's body

Start under one cheek. Draw a big round body down to a flat bottom, and up to the other cheek.

Tip The body is wider than the head, and widest low down.

Step 6: Front legs

From under the chin draw 2 long legs, a little apart. End each in a round paw.

Step 7: Back paws

At each bottom corner draw a hill paw. Add 2 short toe lines on all 4 paws.

Step 8: Cub's head

Beside mum, lower down, draw a small round head. Add 2 little round ears.

Tip The top of the cub's head is level with mum's chin.

Step 9: Cub's eyes

Draw 2 small oval eyes on the cub. Add a black dot and a shine in each.

Step 10: Cub's snout

Under the cub's eyes draw a small oval snout, a black nose and a little smile.

Step 11: Cub's body

Start under one cheek. Draw a small round body down to a flat bottom, and up to the other cheek.

Step 12: Cub's legs

Draw 2 short front legs with round paws under the cub's chin. Add a hill paw at each bottom corner.

Step 13: Sheet of ice

Under both bears draw a long flat sheet of ice: a straight top line and a bumpy bottom.

Tip The bears sit right on the top line.

Step 14: Cream and blue

Colour both snouts cream. Colour the ice pale blue. Leave the fur and the eyes white.
