How to Draw a Teddy Bear for Beginners: Part 4
Hi! My name is Peggy Robertson and on behalf of Expert Village.com, in this clip I am going to show you how to draw the teddy bear part 4. In the last clip we started giving hair to the teddy bear; short little strokes around the edge to outline. You use short little strokes to soften the edges. It gives it a fuzzy look and it also defines the shape of the head but you curve your lines to shape the curve of the head. It is very important that the lines don’t go perfectly straight or you will be drawing it flat. There I have done the ear and now I am doing a roundness in the cheeks, see how I am going around the head to shape the head with these little lines, short little lines; there we will get to the bottom of his mouth. These short little lines up here will define his nose area and around his mouth. We will follow-up, blend, smooth out the lines a little bit more and also give it some more shape. In this dark shadow here is a shoulder and neck. Then we are going to go and do short little lines around the outside to give him a fuzzy look to his arm. I have decided I want this line to keep so I am darkening it like I did on the other three and I will just clean it up a little bit and draw short lines for hair that comes over onto his palm, so his little hands looks fuzzy and by following the lines there, you can just give it a little bit more shape. Short, short, hairy little lines following the shape of the arm, we will make it look like it is rounder, here we go; short lines around the outside, and a couple sticking over the edge help make it round and the long free lines across the arm will make this arm look rounder.
