A teddy bear nurse is a cuddly helper with a hat, a bandage, and a big friendly face. It is built from simple shapes: round bumps for the ears and feet, a short band for the hat, and a long pill shape for the bandage. Once you can draw those, you can draw the whole bear.

How to Draw a Teddy Bear Nurse · tinyhandscreate.com
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: Ears and sides of head
Draw two curved lines, one on the left and one on the right. Each starts with a round bump at the top for an ear, then curves down and in for the cheek. Leave the top and bottom of the head open between them.
Step 3: The feet
Near the bottom, draw a wide wavy line with two big round bumps for the feet and a little dip between them. Add a short curve going up from each foot.
Step 4: The nurse hat
Between the ears, draw a short, wide band with a gently curved top and bottom. Slant the two short sides a little so the hat is wider at the top.
Step 5: The cross
In the middle of the hat, draw a small plus sign with rounded corners. Trace around its outline so the cross is a hollow shape.
Step 6: The paws
On each side of the tummy, draw a small round curve for a paw. The left one is a little loop and the right one is a small bump that sticks out.
Step 7: The bandage
Draw a long, skinny pill shape tilted across the left paw. Make both ends round, like a bandage strip.
Step 8: The eyes
Draw two small round dots for eyes, spaced wide apart on the face. Color them in solid.
Step 9: Nose and smile
Between the eyes, draw a tiny nose with a short line going down from it. Then draw two small curves, one on each side of that line, to make the smile.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a teddy bear nurse
- Start with the ears and let the sides of the head curve down from them. Keep both sides about the same shape so the bear looks balanced.
- The hat is a short band that is a little wider at the top. Keep it centered between the two ears.
- Keep the bandage tilted and the same width all the way along, with round ends, so it looks like a real bandage strip.
