How to Draw a Polar Bear
Polar bears are large, muscular animals with short legs and powerful
forelimbs. The polar bear’s body is streamlined for navigating ice,
water, and land. Their elongated torso and tapered head and neck are
perfect for long distance swimming, while large feet give them better
traction on the ice. Thick fur protects them from the cold. Try to bring
out these traits in your drawing.
The key to drawing anything is to break it down into basic shapes. If you can draw circles and ovals, you can draw a polar bear. Don’t be discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t turn out exactly like the picture. Practice makes perfect, so let’s begin!

Don’t give up if your first drawings aren’t perfect. Art is not something that can be learned overnight. Drawing is a skill that must be practiced and supplemented through observation, so keep a sketchbook, and take it with you everywhere. Look around you, draw what you see. Visit the zoo and sketch animals. Sketch people at the mall. The more you draw, the better you’ll get. Good luck!

How to Draw an Arctic Fox
Arctic foxes are nimble and curious animals, bursting with energy. They have thick fur to protect them from the cold, which makes them especially puffy and adorable. In the winter, their fur is white to camouflage them in the snow. It thins and turns brown in the summer. For this tutorial, we'll be drawing their winter form.
