How To Draw A Cub

Drawing a cub is as easy as tracing a line, but creating a stunning cub that captures the dynamics of the creature in mind is an art. Crafting a captivating cub is a challenge, but thankfully, it’s an enjoyable and thrilling one. With a few simple steps, you can draw a unique and lively cub with ease.
Start by sketching out the basic shape of the cub with a pencil. This preliminary sketch should focus on the basic contours of the cub, such as its size, proportion, curves and angles. Make sure to clearly map out the legs, head, and other body parts; don’t get too caught up in intricate details at this stage. You should now have a solid, grey outline of the cub’s form.
Now, it’s time to give your cub a bit of dimension and volume. Don’t be afraid to add dynamic lines to your cub; these dynamic lines can help to convey movement, making your cub look alive. Add a bit of light shading in your pencil strokes to give your cub a3D-like effect. Make sure to pay attention to the direction of your cub’s fur, whether it’s wispy, sparse, dense or otherwise.
To bring the basic cub form to life, doodle a few short whiskers, ears and eyes. These small details can help to bring the cub to existence. Be sure to use delicate lines and smudged shadows to create depth. Add in a few subtle shadings to make the cub look more realistic.
To finalize the look of the cub, you’ll need to carefully blend and smudge all of the pencil marks until they form a single, cohesive color. Use circular motions and a gentle touch to blend the hues. Make sure that the blending does not look choppy or awkward; a properly blended colored pencil drawing will be buttery smooth.
Now that you’ve sketched out the basic form of the cub and added a few details to bring it to life, you can start to work on adding texture and depth to your drawing. Use short, light pencil strokes to create fur, as well as hard, thick lines to draw tufts of fur or some fur detail. Use a small brush to add even more texture and depth.
Time to refine the details. Pay attention to the eyes, whiskers, fur, and any other small details that make the cub look more realistic. You might also want to add a background or a setting for your cub. Make sure that the backdrop and foreground complement the cub’s pose and movement.
Finally, set aside the picture and come back to it another day. Observe it with a fresh pair of eyes and tweak it if needed. Then, you’ll have an amazing cub drawing. Just keep practicing and adding your own spin to the cub drawing technique and you’ll gradually create an amazing art portfolio of drawings.
