How to Draw a Dog? Step-by-Step Tutorial!

Step 1

Let’s start with the dog’s ears.

They should be quite large and hanging down.

Step 2

Next, draw the lower part of the dog’s head and add some details to the ears you’ve just sketched.

Step 3

Let’s add a nose to the dog so he can explore the beautiful scents!

Draw an almost circular shape near the center of the head, but not perfectly centered.

Step 4

Don’t you think the dog’s face would look better with more detail?

Try drawing two rounded lines to give it some dimension.

Step 5

In the fifth step, draw the dog’s tongue and another line to give the shape of the muzzle.

Step 6

Now let’s add the eyes and eyebrows.

Make sure they’re evenly spaced between the right and left ears.

Step 7

This step is the trickiest, so take a close look at how it’s done.

You’ll need to draw the outline of the dog’s body.

If it’s too hard, don’t hesitate to ask for help.

Step 8

Now it’s time to add the belly and one of the front legs.

Notice how this leg extends a bit lower than the back leg.

Step 9

Two curved lines in this step will form the chest area of your dog.

Step 10

Your dog is starting to look really good!

But he’s still missing a few body parts.

So draw two more paws.

Step 11

For the final touches on the paws, draw small claw details.

This is the second-to-last step — your dog drawing is nearly finished!

Step 12

A drawing of a dog would not be complete without a tail.

Sketch it in the back so your new furry friend can wag it happily!
