The Olympic Games that took place this year left a lot of pleasant memories not only among the inhabitants of our country, but also among guests from other countries. And it is especially pleasant that we still have the memory of past competitions in the form of mascots. Before we saw new heroes, the development artists had to repeatedly invent and sketch characters that would not only personify sports, but also be remembered and liked by both the guests of the Olympiad and its hosts. After the simply stunning victory of our athletes at the last winter Games, many children (and adults too) became interested in the nuances of creating mascots. For this reason, we decided in this article to pay special attention to the question of how to draw an Olympic Bear (white).

Charms

First, let's talk a little about the heroes of the Games and find out why they represented the 2014 Olympics. And after that we will tell you how to drawOlympic Bear.

So, Leopard. This inhabitant of the mountains was not chosen by chance. Since 2008, a special program has been operating on the territory of our country aimed at restoring the population of these animals, since the individuals have practically disappeared from their habitats. By the way, this "snowboarder" scored the most points during the voting.

Another talisman representing the animal world is the Polar Bear. He is considered a brother of the Mishka competition in 1980 in Moscow. Here the developers decided to take advantage of "family" ties. The Polar Bear of the 2014 Sochi Olympics is very similar to his brother. When the main mascot of the competition was created, a legend was invented, according to which, the Bear cub grew up at the polar station and was in close contact with people. It was they who taught him to play curling, using small pieces of ice for this, and to get up on skis. In addition, the versatile Bear cub is also fond of mountain sledding.

And, of course, the last talisman is Bunny. The character was chosen due to his active lifestyle and friendly attitude towards everyone.

How to draw an Olympic Bear

You have learned some interesting facts about the creation of the mascots for the 2014 Olympics. However, it is time to return to the study of the main issue to which the article is devoted. So, how to draw an Olympic Bear with a pencil? To depict this character, you will need a landscape sheet (you can take larger paper). You will also need a simplepencil.

Creating a sketch

Look at the picture above. This is what the Olympic Bear looks like. Let's start the drawing by creating the contours of our hero. To do this, draw a circle at the bottom of the landscape sheet. Place a smaller circle above it. Just pay attention that it is a little to the left and goes a little beyond the borders of the bottom. Now, using a horizontal line, we divide the last circle into two parts. Then you need to give the head of our talisman the correct shape. To do this, we depict a figure inside the upper circle, shaped like a pear. In addition, in the lower circle we draw the lines of the body of our Bear. To make it easier for you to cope with the task, you should just look at the original talisman more often.

Drawing elements

Now let's start painting small details. Let's start with the scarf. Please note that it has a turn around the Bear's neck, and one end hangs freely. For clarity, compare what you got with the original image. It's time to draw a cute face for our character. The auxiliary line that we depicted at the beginning of the work will help here. Just above it (in the center) draw a nose, right below it make a cute smile. It remains only to add a look shining with slyness and fun.

Final stage of work

We have come to the final stage of learning how to draw an Olympic Bear. With the help of an eraser, we remove all unnecessary lines and draw more clearly the outline of ourcharacter. Draw Mishka's hind legs. Note that they are slightly bent, so depict them with an arcuate line. Try to compare your drawing with the original more often so that you do not have to correct it in the future. The front paws should be drawn in the same way.

So our art lesson comes to an end. It remains to draw the nails of the bear with the help of rounded triangles, painting them in black. With the help of a small circle we denote his paw. Let's complete the image of the Bear with two additional circles above his head, thus creating cute ears. So you learned how to draw an Olympic Bear. If you wish, you can add bright elements to the image. To do this, for example, paint the bear's scarf in traditional blue.
