Dog Drawing Instructions
Step 1
Start by drawing an oval shape. You can make a perfect oval or make it to be a bit more “boxy”. Nothing wrong if it’s more round. This will be the snout.
Step 2
Continue by making a inverted U shape above the oval you have previously drawn. This will be the head. Also make the nose. You can make it round or more of a triangle shape.
Step 3
Draw the ears. We think droopy or folded ears are the best, but you could also draw pointy, button or any other shape you want.
Step 4
Lets finish up the dog face. Draw two spots for eyes and two arches above the eyes for the eyebrows. Draw a straight line from the snout and a wavy line for the mouth.
Also make the front pair of legs.
Step 5
Time to make the body!
Step 6
Last but not lest, draw a pair of hind legs and a wiggly tail.
Congratulations you have learned how to draw a dog.
