ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Bear

Let's learn how to draw one of the large animals. First, sketch the main shapes of the bear's body: a large oval for the torso, a circle for the head, and a more elongated oval for the snout. Then add details: ears, paws with claws, eyes, and a nose, giving it a characteristic look. Finally, work on the fur, using hatching or blending to create volume and texture, and add shadows for depth.
