Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The bear hood
Draw a wide, round hood in pieces. Make a curved line across the top, then a long curve down each side that bends in at the bottom. Leave small gaps between the pieces.
Step 3: Round bear ears
Add a small round ear on each top corner of the hood. Start each ear at the hood's top line, curve it up and around, and bring it back down to the side of the hood.
Step 4: The face
Inside the hood, draw a curved line like a bowl. Start on the left, swoop down low and round, and come back up on the right to make the bottom of her face.
Step 5: The hair
Fill the top of the face with a thick, dome-shaped hair shape. Give the bottom edge a few little points to make short bangs.
Step 6: Eyes and smile
Draw two round eyes side by side in the middle of the face. Then add a tiny curved smile between and just below them.
Step 7: Bear hood dots
On the top of the hood, above the hair, draw three little dots in a row. Make them about the same size.
Step 8: Body, arms and feet
Under the hood, draw sloping lines for the shoulders and little round mittens at the sides. Then draw two straight sides going down. At the bottom, add two rounded feet with a small dip between them.
Step 9: Belly and leg lines
Draw a big oval in the middle of the tummy. Then add a short straight line across the bottom of each leg, just above the feet.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a girl in a bear costume
- Draw the hood first, then add the ears on top. It is much easier to place the ears when the hood is already there.
- Keep a little space between the face and the hood. Make that space about the same on both sides so the hood looks even.
- Draw the hair as a solid dome, then add the little points along the bottom edge for the bangs.
- Make the three dots on the hood the same size and keep them in a neat row.

Questions about drawing a girl in a bear costume
What shapes do I need to draw a girl in a bear costume?
You need round curves for the hood and ears, a bowl shape for the face, and an oval for the belly. The body is a soft rounded rectangle, and the hands and feet are small rounded shapes.
How do I make my bear costume girl look cuter?
Keep the eyes wide apart and the smile small. Round, chubby shapes and big ears make her look extra sweet.
How do I draw the bear ears so they match?
Draw one ear first, then start the second ear at the same height on the other side of the hood. Making both ears the same size helps them look even.
