Use the video and step-by-step drawing instructions below to learn how to draw a cartoon panda bear.

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

Step 1: Draw two small circles next to each other for the cartoon panda's eyes. Space out the eyes a bit; don't draw them too close. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake.

Step 2: Inside each eye, on the top left side, draw an oval to represent glare. Draw a smaller oval on the lower right side of each eye for extra glare.

Step 3: Draw a smaller circle in the middle of each eye for the pupils. The panda's pupils are made up of short, curved lines that connect the glare ovals. When you get the shapes right, shade in the pupils lightly. Don't overlap the glare ovals as you shade the pupils.

Step 4: Between the eyes, at the bottom, draw a tiny triangle for the panda's nose.

Step 5: Under the nose, draw a W-shaped line for the mouth. Under the mouth, draw a couple of curved lines for the panda's chin.
