How to draw a bear’s head in profile

If we want to draw ,for example,the head of the bear,where do you think we should start? My answer – not with fur,chubby cheeks and a glistening black nose. We should start with an introduction to the skull of a bear. We are interested in the overall skull shape and placement of eyes and ears:

Applying knowledge of the structure of the skull we will be sure to draw the head of a bear,not a Teddy bear.

Sloping forehead, elongated nose, a relatively small lower jaw.

Draw the eye and the ear exactly where they are located in the skull. And then add the fur.

Now let’s see how to draw the face of a bear.

Looks interesting. The face is very wide, horizontal oval.

While the facial features are concentrated in the middle.

Small eyes wide apart, a nose like a Piglet.

Ears! Please note the ears do not grow on top -they are where in the skull ear canals are located.

Well,now you have learned how to draw the head and face of a bear.
