Some tips regarding this reference

Make sure to create a good base layer before adding pencil strokes, it helps to create the different shades in his fur.

Look closely in which direction his fur goes. Make pencil strokes in the same direction.

Don't be afraid to have a less perfect base layer, it all comes together in the end when you add pencil strokes.

Have fun!!

Reference picture

I thought this reference was too cute! The bear hugging the tree... If you see this in real life I think it's really frightening, but from a picture, the bear just looks really cute!

I recommend downloading the reference on your phone to get a smaller picture, this way you can't get lost in all the details.
