How To Draw A Panda

10 Amazing (and Easy!) Tutorials

Introduction

Pandas are adorable. They have this cute and mischievous appeal that I really like. While browsing the internet for some cute panda pictures, I came across some amazing panda drawings and portraits, and wanted to draw some myself. Now, I didn’t know how I should proceed with these drawings, since I had never drawn a panda before. But I was way too excited to back away from this idea. So, I decided to do some digging on the internet, watch a few tutorials, and educate myself on how to draw a panda.

To draw a panda, you need to follow three simple steps. First, you need to draw the head, and make the facial expressions appear as cute as possible. This can mostly be done by working out the panda’s eyes. Next, you draw the rest of the body, including its legs. Finally, when the outline is complete, you add in the fur, give the panda its black patches, and work out the rest of the details according to your liking.
