About This Drawing Guide
Before diving into the tutorial, let’s understand the guide’s layout and color coding. There are 9 steps to master, starting with a foundational sketch.
- Red Color: Represents the current step you should focus on.
- Black Color: Displays the lines drawn in previous steps.
- Grey Color: Outlines the basic sketch, drawn with light pencil strokes for proportion guidance.
The first part is pivotal – it lays down the basic structure, ensuring your drawing has proper proportions. Once you reach the end, you can choose to ink the sketch. Using a fine-tipped ink pen, trace over your drawing, giving it a more refined look. Wait for the ink to dry thoroughly before gently erasing the pencil lines, so you’re left with a clean, inked version of Grizzly Bear.
