Drawing is not only a fun and creative activity but also an essential skill for kids to develop. Learning to draw step by step can have a positive impact on a child’s cognitive, emotional, and physical development. Remember, drawing is not about perfection; it’s about enjoying the journey and expressing oneself. So grab some paper, pencils, and let’s see how to draw a puppy dog.
Start with the Basic Shapes
Draw two overlapping circles. The larger one will be the head, and the smaller one will be the body.
Next, draw four vertically elongated ovals below the two circles. These ovals will form the legs of the puppy.
Add a tail (a curved line) at the back of the body.
Define the Head
Divide the bigger circle into four sections as shown in the image. These sections will help you position the facial features.
The edge sections will be for the ears, the middle sections for the face, and the mouth.
Add small curves at the bottom of each leg for the paws.
Draw the Facial Features
Face: In the middle sections, draw the eyes, nose, and mouth:
Eyes: Place two small circles in the upper part of the face section.
Nose: Draw a small triangular shape just below the eyes to draw the nose.
Mouth: Add a curved line for the mouth.
Ears: In the top section, draw two floppy ears.
Outline the Essential Lines
Trace over the basic shapes and add details: Outline the body, head, and legs.
Refine the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth.
Erase the Ovals and Circles
Carefully erase the initial circles and ovals, leaving only the puppy’s outline.
Add Details and Patterns
Draw the body patterns as shown in the image. You can add spots, stripes, or any other markings you like.
Don’t forget to add little lines to define the toes on the paws.
Colour Your Puppy
Finally, use your creativity to color your puppy! You can choose realistic colors or go for a fun and imaginative color scheme.
Remember, practice makes perfect! Feel free to adjust the proportions and details to create your own unique puppy.
