How to Draw a Puppy Step by Step
Step 1: Draw the Puppy’s Head
1️⃣ Start with a big circle near the top center of your paper. This will be the puppy’s head.
2️⃣ Lightly draw a horizontal and vertical guideline through the circle to help place the face later.
Step 2: Add Floppy Ears
1️⃣ On both sides of the head, draw long curved shapes for the puppy’s floppy ears.
2️⃣ Make them round at the tips to keep your puppy looking soft and friendly.
Step 3: Draw the Body and Legs
1️⃣ Below the head, draw an oval shape for the puppy’s body
2️⃣ Add two front legs that come down from the body – draw them like long “U” shapes.
3️⃣ Draw the back legs on each side using shorter curved lines.
Step 4: Add the Face and Tail
1️⃣ Inside the head, draw two large round eyes, a triangle nose, and a smiling mouth.
2️⃣ Add eyebrows or tiny dots for a playful look.
3️⃣ Draw a curved tail at the back of the body – it can be wagging for extra cuteness!
Step 5: Outline and Color
1️⃣ Use a black pen or marker to outline your puppy.
2️⃣ Erase any pencil lines that you don’t need.
3️⃣ Color your puppy however you like—brown and white, gray and black, or even pink and purple if you’re feeling silly!
