How to Draw a Teddy Bear Step by Step

Start your teddy bear drawing by laying out your basic shapes. I’ve mentioned the importance of this many times. Just about every complex object can be broken down into basic shapes. This helps with the placement of your drawing, as well as getting some of the basic elements roughed in.

To do this, draw two circles. One for the body, and a slightly smaller circle for the head. Also draw a vertical line down the center of both circles. As well as a horizontal line across the center of the head.

Next, draw a circle on the lower section of the head. This is where your bear’s nose and mouth will go. Also draw the eyes on top of the horizontal line. Use the vertical line as a guide to evenly space out your bear’s eyes.

Now draw in the heart that your teddy bear will be holding. The heart should cover up most of the circle you drew for his body. Use your guideline to center your heart. Check out our tutorial on how to draw a perfect heart if you need some help.

Draw in your bear’s nose just beneath the horizontal guideline. You can draw the nose as an oval, or you could draw it as more of an upside down triangle.

Next, draw in two ovals for his hands. Part of each hand should be placed over the lines for the heart.

In addition, draw in two slightly larger ovals for his feet. Draw a mouth for your teddy bear as well. Also, draw a couple of ears on top of his head. Notice the placement of the ears in relationship to your guidelines.

Next, add in some details for his hands and legs. And give your bear some eyebrows, if you want him to have some.

How to Draw Fur Texture

I like my teddy bear drawings to look like they have fur. So I added some rough areas to his body. You can add in some details for the bottoms of his feet as well. This give your teddy bear drawing a bit of texture. And texture makes our artwork more interesting to look at.

Teddy Bear Outline

Whenever I do a drawing, I almost always go over it with a black outlining pen. This is part of my artistic style. If your style is different, finish your teddy bear drawing however you like. For my outline I used a medium nib Pitt Artist pen. The same pen was used to fill in the black areas of his eyes and nose as well.

But you can outline your drawing anyway you want. Or skip the outlining step altogether. Or maybe try doing your outline in a different color besides black.

Teddy Bear Color with Markers

You have lots of choices when it comes to adding color to your teddy bear drawing. I love using the Bic Intensity markers.

For the brown in the bear I used Tiki Hut Tan, Honey Brown, and Woodsy Brown for the bottoms of his feet. Pink Flamingo and Fandango Pink were used for the ears and the heart. A little Polynesian Purplewas added to the outside of the heart.

For the background I used Polynesian Purple and Oceanview Blue.

Drawing Ideas

You can change the way your teddy bear looks by drawing your basic shapes and guidelines differently. For this next drawing the head was drawn bigger than the body and the lines dividing the head were drawn at a different angle.

Now let’s look at a couple of drawings that were finished using Prismacolor colored pencils. Again, slight variations to how the teddy bears were drawn resulted in a bear with a different look to him.
