Sleepy-Eyed Bear Cub With Fluffy Fur Strokes

A young bear stands in side view with its head turned slightly toward us, showing a long snout, a dark round nose, and two small rounded ears with inner ear lines. The eyes look soft and a little sleepy. Short, sketchy fur strokes run along the back, chest, belly, and legs, which gives the body a thick, fuzzy look. All four paws are planted on the ground, and each one has dark claws at the toes. There is no background, so the bear is the whole page. Try a black bear with dark brown and charcoal pencils, using short flicking strokes that follow the fur lines. It also works well for a quick lesson on bear body parts, since the ears, snout, paws, and claws are all easy to point out. Print it free and let kids pick realistic or silly colors.
