How to Draw a Polar Bear

When the weather outside is frightful, drawing and reading is so delightful! And what better subject to draw than a polar bear! Polar bears never fail to fascinate, with their size, power, and ability to survive and thrive in bitter cold climates. So let's explore reading about and drawing polar bears today.

First, I'd love to tell you about two of my favorite picture books. Gail Gibbons, a favorite author of non-fiction for kids, has a good book called Polar Bears which I have in my collection. It's fun for kids and adults to learn all the interesting facts about these animals. 

Chitra Soundar and Poonam Mistry wrote and illustrated a lovely book called You're Snug With Me, which has unusual and beautiful illustrations that you and your kids will want to examine closely. This book is written poetically as if a mother polar bear is talking to her two cubs. 

Are you ready to try drawing polar bears? Get some paper and your favorite marking tools--crayons, colored pencils, or markers, and watch the 10 minute video above. You and your kids will have so much fun drawing polar bears. Maybe they will create their own story about polar bears!
