Drawing Dogs Step by Step Video

When you first begin to drawing dogs, it can be difficult to know where

to start Where should you make that initial mark on the paper in front

of you, and what should that mark be? Usually, there are tricks that can get you started with ease, and the same is true in regards to drawing dogs You don't have to be an expert artist to learn how to draw a dog; it's as simple as beginning with a 'cheat', or a few specific lines, and building a style from there

To draw a dog, you should begin by drawing the number 'six', followed

by three lines, fairly close together This will create the dog's seated body and legs Atop these lines, you can draw a circle (centered on top

of the 6) and an oval to the right of that, connected to the circle This is the head and snout of the dog With just these few strokes, you have already created the basic image of a dog Now, all you have to do is fill

in the details

Start with a pointy ear like a teepee on

top of the circle Then, add a nose on

the top right end of the oval To make

the oval appear more snout-like you

can add 'wrinkles', short arcs that start

at the top of the oval and curve down to

create the wrinkly snout You can also

add whiskers if you choose, and follow

with a line at the end of the oval, just

inside, to create the 'split' that leads

down to a dog's mouth

Your dog's basic profile is complete

Now, you can add fur Using a zigzag

line, trace back over the body to create

the look of fur on the dog's back and

legs The zigzag should be more

pronounced on the body than on the

legs When you've finished with the

fur, you should go ahead and add paws

to the feet You can also add a paw at

the bottom right of the number 'six', as

the part that curves around is meant to

be the bent leg when seated Add an

eye to the profile, and you are done

When drawing dogs, you have the

option to draw a tail or leave it off You

can add cute little details like a collar,

and you can practice varying body

sizes and shapes

A fatter, shorter 'six' can be a base for a

bull dog, while a tall, skinny 'six' can

be transformed into a poodle You can

use the basic drawing and alter certain

portions For instance, you can practice

drawing different snouts, which may

curve up or be more square, and you

can even add a tongue as though the

dog were panting

Drawing dogs is not a complex thing

As drawings done by most beginners,

there is simply a method you can use to

learn without becoming frustrated

either looking at a blank page or never

getting the right shape Once you've

gotten down the concept, it's a lot

easier to experiment with your own

ideas
