How to Draw Cute Characters With Simple Shapes: Let's Draw Bears

Have you been avoiding drawing animals because they seem too difficult to draw? What if you could learn some fun techniques to help you overcome that anxiety and feel more confident in drawing animal characters. In this class, I'm going to teach you exactly how to do that! 

In the first of the "Let's Draw Series" you'll learn how to use simple shapes to draw and develop adorable Bear Characters.

We'll first get to know the basic features of a bear with some warmup drawings. Once your drawing muscles are warm, we'll have some fun using simple shapes to draw five cute bears.

Then walk you through how you can plan your final character and think about those extra special details that add magic to your work. We'll move onto sketching out our final character and add some colour to bring bear to life. 

This class is not a detailed anatomy study of a bear, but rather a playful approach on how to use simple, organic shapes to produce fun and interesting bear characters full of personality and charm. 

Perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to play with shapes to create adorable characters!

In this class you'll learn how to:

• Identify key features of a bear which you'll apply in your own work
• Use simple organic shapes to create adorable animal characters
• Plan your character to inject more personality and magic into your work 
• Apply all you've learnt to sketch and add colour to your final character

Bonus extras you'll get in class:

• 5 Shape brushes for Procreate, Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Designer
• Also available as JPEG and PNG files
• Or PDF worksheet for analogue drawing
