Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Polar Bear" video after each step to draw at your own pace





For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw two circles next to each other as guides for the polar bear's body. It's okay if the circles aren't perfect. They're just guides. The circle on the left should be a bit smaller and thinner than the one on the right.

Step 2: Draw an even smaller circle to the left as a guide for the polar bear's head. Notice the placement and spacing of the circles.

Step 3: Draw an arc similar to the letter C next to the head as a guide for the polar bear's muzzle.

Step 4: Connect the major shapes with a series of curved lines to form the polar bear's body.

Step 5: Draw four lines under the body as guides for the polar bear's feet. Each line should have a smaller line at the bottom as a guide for the paw.
