StepActionDescription/Execution
1Head ShapeDraw a circle for the head. This will be the basic shape. Position it towards the top of your paper.
2Body ShapeDraw a larger oval or bean shape below the head for the body. This shape should be wider than the head.
3EarsAdd two triangles or floppy shapes on top of the head for the ears. Adjust the shape based on the breed.
4EyesDraw two small circles for the eyes, positioned slightly above the middle of the head circle. Add dots for pupils.
5NoseDraw a small oval or triangle shape at the bottom center of the head for the nose.
6MouthDraw a curved line (like a “U”) starting from the bottom of the nose to create the mouth.
7Front LegsDraw two straight or slightly curved lines down from the front of the body. Add small ovals for paws at the end.
8Back LegsDraw two lines for the back legs, making them slightly angled. Add paws at the bottom.
9TailDraw a curved line extending from the back of the body for the tail. This can be long or short, depending on the breed.
10Fur TextureAdd small strokes or zigzag lines around the body to represent fur texture.
11Collar (optional)Draw a simple rectangle around the neck area for a collar, adding a tag if desired.
12Final DetailsErase any unnecessary lines and refine the features. Add details like eyebrows or extra fur tufts.
13Shading and ColorAdd shading under the ears, belly, and paws to create depth. Use colored pencils or markers to color the dog.
