Lesson 6 Activities

2. Circles = pandas
Only the circle shape is available

3. Using only circles, you will be drawing a panda bear
Using only circles, you will be drawing a panda bear. Colors don’t matter until the very end, so don’t worry that the default circle is blue – you’ll be changing that in the last step.
One option is to create a circle that you want to use, then simply use it as a copy/paste tool for the rest of the exercise.

4. Let’s begin with his head and torso. His head will be slightly larger.

5. Add two small circles for ears

6. Add small ovals for his hands, and slightly larger ovals for his feet.

7. Add ovals for the fur around his eyes, and a smaller torso circle for his belly. Yes, a belly button is okay to add 

8. Finally, he needs a nose and eyes to complete the shape part of the drawing.
