Step-by-Step Guide on How to Draw a Dog
Step 1:
Let us begin by drawing the face of the dog. As I mentioned before, we are going to make a cartoon dog, so we will draw the face a little bigger than the body.
Draw a circle and make an arch a little below the center of the circle. This arch will divide the eyes section from the mouth.
Step 2:
Once you are done with the face, move on to the ears. We will draw big droopy ears to make the drawing cuter. Make two oval shapes on either side of the face.
Step 3:
Now make the front legs of the dog. Draw two slant lines and join it with a circle below. This way draw both the legs.
Step 4:
Let us now draw the body of the dog. Draw curve lines joining the ears and the front legs. Now join the two legs with another small curve.
Step 5:
Let us finish the body of the dog by making two hind legs. Draw two U that join the body of the dog just beside the front legs. Now make a cute little wiggly tail above the hind legs.
Step 6:
You can now see that your drawing looks like a dog. Now complete it by adding details to the face. Draw big round adorable eyes above the arch. Make two inverted U one inside the other. Last but not least, draw the nose and mouth of the dog.
Congratulations! You just drew a dog. I hope it was not hard.
Let us finish up the drawing by adding colors to it. You can give any color to your dog. Here I have preferred keeping it basic for kids, so I have just used brown, black and white.
