Draw a Bear with Buddy Davis

Hello there! I’m Buddy Davis, the host of Out and About on Answers TV. Let’s get our hands a little dirty as we investigate God’s amazing creation.

Once when I was fishing for salmon in Alaska, I looked up and saw a brown bear coming toward me! My friends and I tried to scare it off by making loud noises, but it just kept coming. We were all praying for safety. Finally, the bear spooked and walked away. What a relief!

Grab a pencil and a piece of paper, and let’s draw!

1. Start by lightly sketching a balloon shape and some guidelines for the head. It’s okay to be sloppy. It’s always easier to have some reference lines.
2. Using more pressure, draw rough shapes of the eyes, eyebrows, and nose. Use the reference lines to keep things centered.
3. Time to add some big U shapes for the snout, mouth, and ears.
4. Now you can add some details to fill in the ears, eyes, and the shape of the nostrils.
5. Next fill in the nose and add his big furry head. This can be as simple or complex as you want. Throw in some nice squiggles.
6. Erase the reference lines, and you’re done—unless you want to add some color. From here the rest is up to you!
