You may find it easier to follow the step-by-step drawings below the video. The new lines in each step are shown in red, so you'll know exactly what to draw next. You may want to open the video in a new tab and use both drawing methods. Take your time and draw at your own pace.

The Written step-by-step video tutorial:

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw a big circle as a guide for the grizzly bear's head. First make four small marks to indicate the circle's height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. The bigger this circle is, the bigger the head will be. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. If you're struggling to draw the circle, trace the outer rim of a glass, a bowl or any other object with a circular edge. For a more detailed guide on the different ways to draw a circle check out this tutorial: Four simple ways to draw a circle.

Step 2: Draw a long, curved, horizontal line across the circle for a construction line. Draw this line slightly higher than the middle. Construction lines will help you place the grizzly bear's facial features later. On top of the horizontal line, near the left side, draw a shorter, curved, vertical line for another guide.

Step 3: Draw a small circle on the lower, left side of the head as a guide for the muzzle. Use the four-marks technique to draw this circle too. Pay attention to the size of this circle in relation to the grizzly bear's head. The bottom of this circle shouldn't touch the lower edge of the big head circle.
