Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Head with ears
Draw the outline of a wide head. Start with two rounded ears on top with a little dip between them, then curve down each side with tiny zigzag cheek tufts. Leave a gap at the bottom of the chin.
Step 3: Body line
Start just below the right cheek and draw a long curved line going down and a little to the right. This is the back of the body.
Step 4: Round tail
At the bottom of that line, draw a small round bump sticking out to the right, like the letter C turned backward. Both ends touch the body line.
Step 5: Foot and lower body
Near the bottom left, draw a curved line like a little smile. Start it where the tail ends, then curl its left end up into a small hook for the foot.
Step 6: Eyes and nose
Draw two round dots for eyes, spaced wide apart. Put a small oval nose between them, a little lower.
Step 7: The boba cup
Below the chin, draw a lid with two curved lines across the top of the cup. Add two slanted sides going down to a rounded bottom, a small loop on the left side, and a few little dots for pearls at the bottom.
Step 8: Paw and cup lines
On the right side of the cup, draw a curved C shape for the paw holding on. Add two short slanted lines on the front of the cup.
Step 9: The straw
Draw two slanted lines close together from the cup lid going up toward the face. Bend the top a little to the right.
Step 10: Boba pearls
Fill the bottom of the cup with more round dots, some bigger and some smaller. Leave a little space between them.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a red panda with boba tea
- Draw the head wide before you add the cheek tufts. The panda looks cuter when the head is wider than the body.
- The cup is the trickiest part. Draw the lid first, then the two slanted sides, so the cup does not end up crooked.
- Draw the straw after the cup and paw, then finish with the pearls. Two slanted lines close together make an easy straw.
