How to Draw a Spectacled Bear
Draw a spectacled bear in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
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: the head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top left, draw a big round head, a little wider than tall. Leave room on the right.
Tip A big head is what makes it cute.
Step 2: Eyes and nose
Draw black eyes in tilted oval patches and a black-nosed snout. From the nose, draw down to a w smile.
Tip The pale patches round the eyes are the bear's spectacles.
Step 3: The ears
On each top corner of the head, draw a round ear like a cookie, with a smaller curve inside.
Step 4: The body
Behind the head, draw a big bean body: a long back, a round bottom and a tummy to the chin.
Tip No neck: the head sits right on the shoulders.
Step 5: Two legs
Draw a ground line. Add a leg under the chest and one under the bottom, each with a round paw.
Tip Legs are wide at the top, narrow at the ankle, with a round paw.
Step 6: The far legs
Add the 2 far legs peeking out, a bit thinner: one behind the front leg, one before the back leg.
Step 7: The tail
On the top corner of the bottom, draw a short stubby tail pointing out and down, like a little thumb.
Step 8: Cream snout and patches
Colour the snout and the eye patches cream.
Step 9: Peach ear insides
Colour the ear insides peach.
Step 10: Colour it dark brown
Go over your lines. Colour the bear dark brown, around the cream and peach parts.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a spectacled bear, drawn by you.
