Shaggy Sloth Bear Standing With Head Raised

A shaggy bear stands in side view with its snout lifted and pointed to the left, mouth slightly open and one small eye showing. The coat is drawn with rough, jagged edges along the chest, legs, and rump, and the long fur around the neck looks especially thick. Both front paws and one back paw have curved claws visible at the ends. The body is large and rounded, with a ruffled tuft of fur rising from the shoulders and a small ear on top of the head. There is no background, so kids can focus on the animal itself. Try layering browns and blacks with crayons, using short strokes that follow the fur lines to give the coat a rough texture. It also works well for a lesson on bear claws and fur. This printable page suits older kids who like detail.
