Have you ever feel like you need a bear hug?
We Bare Bears is a funny cartoon for kids with a calming and charming atmosphere. It was created by Daniel Chong for Cartoon Network and follows the adventures of three adorable and lovely bears:
Grizzly
We can say he is like the leader (although we are not quite sure of that); he’s the one who tries the most to get himself and his brothers into different activities. He is the big brother and even though he can be childish, he always tries to do what is best for his friends and bros.
Panda
The most concerned with social networks, likes, and selfies! He always wants to be noticed by people, especially pretty girls. He is a fan of anime culture and loves to draw his own characters. He is the middle brother and is described as cute and anxious.
Ice Bear
Our favorite! Quiet and mysterious, this polar bear holds a dark past. He is a chef, a spy, a martial artist, a model, a tech genius and a loving brother. You never know what surprise he might be hiding and you better treasure every single word that comes out of his mouth. He is the youngest of the three bears and also the strongest and most interesting one.
Step One: Outline The Body and Face
“Ice Bear meant to do that” - Ice Bear.
Without color or detail, the three brothers look pretty much alike. Let’s begin by drawing the shape of one head; it should look like the number three (3).
The rest of their body is like a long C letter.
Most cartoon characters are made out of simple shapes; this helps them look friendlier to children and easier to draw. Do you enjoy drawing cartoon characters? Take a look at this: Easy sketches: How to draw Finn the Human from Adventure Time.
Step Two: Give ‘em Legs and Add Details
“Ice Bear wants justice” - Ice Bear.
These bears are really easy to draw, and they are really, really cute. With a couple of “U” letters, you will be able to draw their legs.
Because they are almost identical without color you can give them the same face. Their eyes are just a couple of dots on their faces and the noses are simple ovals. Draw letter C shapes to make the ears and little tails.
Step Three: Make Them Three
“Ice Bear has a conspiracy theory” - Ice Bear.
They don’t have many details so by now you already have a pretty good outline of one bear; now make them three. Start drawing one bear under this one.
Follow the first two steps again and you will have bear number two.
Very good so far, let’s do the same with the third bear, first draw the number three (3) and add the head and face details.
Another U shape for the rest of the body.
Now finish up the legs and details.
The mouths are just tiny curves; you can play with their mouths to give them different facial expressions related to their personalities. Need to learn some drawing techniques? You might find this useful: How to draw: Tips and advice for beginners to make cool drawings.
Step Four: Make Them Different
“Hashtag Ice Bear for president” -Ice Bear.
There you go! You already have the basis of your bears, and they look exactly the same, or more likely, the three of them look like Ice bear. Add some curves and details to the legs and pawns. Grizzly is on top, Panda on the middle and Ice bear on the bottom (he is driving). Draw a few more curves to make Panda look more like a panda, and give him his circles around the eyes.
Step Five: Bring Them to Life With Color
“Ice Bear is OK with this” - Ice Bear.
Time to finish off! Give Grizzly his brown color. Make Panda black and white.
Shade Ice Bear a little bit to make him look better. If you don’t know how to shade, we recommend you to check this out: Step by Step Drawing Tutorials: Learn How to Shade Your Drawings.
