I love drawing bears! They’re so versatile as a character study with so many ways one can approach drawing the cute animal.
In this Character Drawing Toolkit tutorial I’ve used one shape for both the body and head but just stretched it slightly to elongate the head and neck area.
Be sure to balance the body weight of a character that is tilted or standing on one leg, in this drawing you’ll see her foot placement is approximately in the centre of her body as all her weight falls on the one leg.
Happy doodling!
Thanks for the guidelines! It’s really helpful to me. The dancing bear design is so cute!
Super happy you are finding them helpful Adelle! Happy creating your characters
