Well, not too mugh to add to this piece. Kuma's probably the easiest to draw out of the bunch.

Tips Continued:

1) Kumamon's build is short and stout (like in the "Little Tea-pot" song). His body and leg/bottom of foot length ARE THE SAME while his head is about THREE QUARTERS the length.

2) His head IS NOT CIRCULAR, it is roughly a SQUARE WITH CURVED EDGES (seen that mistake too many times in fanart, and I don't understand why). A circular head actually make it seem disproportionate to the rest of his body.
-His EYE-LINE is HALF WAY DOWN HIS FACE, but you only see HALF OF HIS EYES. Draw them as CIRCLES, regardless of whether you'll see the top half, NOT SEMI-CIRCLES. This prevents you from narrowing his eyes.
-Use his HEADBAND to convey expression. It covers his eyebrows, but make it bend slightly to fit his mood.
-His ears are also SLIGHTLY SQUARE, however, you can use a semi-circle guide line as an edge so they don't have hard corners and appear more round.

3) His body is almost RECTANGULAR, but it's CHUBBY. He's a child so he has a little baby-fat.
-His legs are kinda thick.
-His arms are TEAR-DROP SHAPED

4) Not too many good picture of his snowball gun, so I had guess the details (by using the consistent ones) and lines. Yes, it has a target window/ scope on the side.

5) His trade-marked pose for the move 'Blizzard Blaster/ Snow Bomber' is very easily replicated; just mind how you use the perspective.

6) Mouth practice. Drew the cute grin he does after accomplishing something, and a generic mouth for negative events, surprise, or just getting hurt.

As always, I hope this helps. So, who's next: Kaze or Beetle?
