How to draw a Bear- Black Bear coloured pencil realism tutorial

Learn how to draw a realistic black bear using coloured pencils.

I chose this one as a tutorial because it is not too complicated, only requires a small selection of colours and it teaches the basics of drawing animal fur that can be applied to a wide variety of other wildlife drawings. 

This little black bear drawing is inspired by my first encounter when I initially moved to Canada. I am lucky enough to live close to the trails where I get to experience these incredible animals on a regular basis!

In this tutorial, I will teach you:

1. How to create realistic fur

2. How to layer and blend coloured pencils 

3. How to create shadows to really make your drawing stand out

4. Printable line art and coloured pencil list is included

5. My top coloured pencil tips that I have learned during my experience drawing animals
