Bear Walking Along With Head Turned Right

A large bear walks across the page with its head turned to look off to the right. The outline is simple and bold, with small rounded ears, one visible eye, a wide nose, and a few light lines marking the fur on the neck and shoulder. The front legs step forward, and the paws show short claw lines at the toes. You can see the far back leg behind the body, and the thick, rounded shape leaves lots of open space to color. Because the body is so big and plain, it works well for practicing smooth, even strokes with crayons or markers. Try a dark brown for a black bear look, then use lighter browns for the muzzle and add short pencil strokes along the shoulder lines to show fur. This printable page also suits a quick lesson on how bears walk on four legs.
