Different species and styles

Types of bears to inspire your colors

Look at reference photographs for natural colors, or use the animal’s shape as the starting point for a fantasy version.

◆ Earth tones

Brown bear

Warm browns, ochres and grayish shadows create depth without relying on black.

◆ Dense fur

Grizzly

Combine light and dark hairs with a brown base for a more varied texture.

◉ Contrast

Panda

Keep white areas shaded with blue and avoid filling dark markings with completely flat black.

✦ Imagination

Kawaii bear

Pink, mint, sky blue or lilac work well for a sweet fantasy interpretation.

Choose a suitable illustration

Which bear should you choose for your skill level?

Start with large shapes and add details as you gain better control of pressure and transitions.

1 Beginner

Curious little bear

A full figure, few areas and a single color family for learning simple shading.

2 Intermediate

Panda and bear with a bow

Contrasting markings, large eyes and accessories for practicing materials and soft edges.

3 More detail

Cuddly little bears

Fur, bows, hearts and paw pads for building several textures within one image.

Tips from your teacher

How to color a bear’s fur

Work on the large shapes first and add texture at the end. Drawing every hair from the start often creates a stiff finish.

1

Gentle base layer

Apply the main color with light pressure and leave the highlighted areas almost untouched.

2

Form

Darken beneath the head, arms and belly, and where the paws overlap.

3

Fur direction

Add short strokes following the shape of the cheeks, arms, ears and body.

4

Eyes and muzzle

Reserve the strongest contrast for the eyes and soften the muzzle to make it look rounded.

✦ White fur: use blue-gray, lavender or very light beige in the shadows. Leaving the entire body uncolored makes it lose form.

Natural or fantasy colors

Three palettes for coloring bears

Use a mid-tone as a base, a dark tone for depth and a light tone to soften transitions and restore highlights.

Brown bear and grizzly

Warm earth tones

Beige, ochre, medium brown and dark brown for natural-looking fur with depth.

Panda and white bear

Cool contrast

The white of the paper, blue-gray, graphite and black to preserve highlights within the markings.

Kawaii bears

Sweet pastels

Pink, sky blue, mint and lilac for bows, hearts and imaginary characters.

Preparation and materials

Tools for a soft finish

You do not need many colors: a small selection and controlled pressure produce better blends.

1
Colored pencils

Layer browns, grays and highlights without obscuring the drawing.

2
160 gsm paper

Test the surface with your pencils; weight alone does not establish its capacity for layers or pressure.

3
White or cream pencil

Softens color changes and helps create brighter fur.

4
Optional markers

Use them on hearts and bows, but test them on another sheet first.
