Step 1

You can proceed with the addition of the head using a large oval shape. For the body, a circular shape can be used. Make sure this one is slightly smaller than the shape used to create the head. 

Step 2

Nice! The ears are made from two medium circles. See how these shapes must be placed on the illustration below. The eyes are created from large oval shapes. 

Step 3

The legs and feet are made from large curved lines. The back legs are located on the back of the body to add more perspective to the illustration. 

Step 4

It's now time to add more elements on the face of the cartoon bear. Draw the pupils using large circles. The nose is made from a flat oval shape. Finally, complete this step by drawing the mouth using a long curved line like shown on the picture below. 

Step 5

You can add small details inside the cartoon animal to create something more interesting. First, draw a long thin line inside each ear. You can also draw a long line inside the body to illustrate the stomach of the bear. Small oval shapes can also be drawn inside the pupils to complete this tutorial.

Step 6

Nice work! Below is a black and white version of this cartoon bear. As you can see, most lines are made from circles and oval shapes. You can also add colors if you want to!
