Pro tips
Don't press too hard with your pencil at first, so it's easy to erase mistakes.
Practice drawing circles and ovals before you start to get comfortable with the basic shapes.
Remember, every panda is unique, so your drawing doesn't have to be perfectly identical to the example!
Once your lines are just right, go over them with a black marker or pen to make your panda pop, then color it in!
Follow the steps
Each step matches one panel in the sheet above — draw along at your own pace.
- 1
Draw the Head
Begin by drawing a large oval in the center of your paper. This will be the main shape for your panda's head.
- 2
Add the Ears
On top of the head oval, draw two smaller circles, one on each side, for the panda's cute ears.
- 3
Draw the Face
Inside the head, draw two small upside-down 'V' shapes for the eyes, a small oval for the nose, and a simple curved line for the mouth.
- 4
Add Eye Patches
Now, draw two larger ovals around each eye. These will be the characteristic dark patches of your panda.
- 5
Draw the Body
Below the head, draw a medium-sized oval for the panda's body. Make sure it connects nicely with the head.
- 6
Add the Arms
On each side of the body oval, draw a small curved shape for the panda's arms, making them look like they're resting on its tummy.
- 7
Draw the Feet
At the bottom of the body, add two small ovals for the panda's feet. These will make your panda stand up!
- 8
Refine the Outline
Smooth out the lines of the body, connecting the arms and feet to the main body oval with gentle curves to create a cuddly shape.
- 9
Clean Up and Finish
Carefully erase any overlapping guide lines from your initial sketches. Now you have a complete and adorable panda drawing ready for coloring!
