Draw a small oval on the horizontal cross line, then draw a bigger one, including the small one.
Step 3: Draw a half oval under the big oval
Step 4: Draw the four ovals to finish the guideline of the kawaii panda body
Draw the arms and legs location using oval shapes, and now, this is all the pencil line as a guide. You can see the head, body, arms, and legs areas.
Step 5: Follow the head’s oval outline
Draws follow the oval outline around the head area; you don’t have to close the outline ends.

Step 10: Panda likes Bamboo
We can add a cylinder shape between the panda’s hands and some leaves to form the bamboo.

Wow, this is the best part. Coloring time and adding details for your panda. I normally start to color the small bamboo first.
Step 12: Bring this panda alive
it’s time to add eyes and mouth. Panda has black patches around the eyes, black outer ears, and black arms and feet. But the panda has a white belly and white face. I added some blushes for him, and he is so cute.
