Step 1: First, we need a basic shape for the body and the head of your puppy, a kidney-bean and an oval, respectively. Then draw one more oval for the snout.

Step 2: Now let’s give our puppy a chance to play around, by drawing a couple of legs on it’s near side, as seen bellow. Don’t forget the paws, just a couple of small ovals should do it.

Step 3: This step in our learn how to draw a dog guide teaches you to draw the ears with a couple of curved lines. Add two more legs(similar to those already sketched above), on the far side, then connect the head and the body through a short neck. To make the picture whole, draw a simple tail.

Step 4: Let’s animate our furry friend, by adding some detail to his face: eyes, a nose, hair and a smiley mouth. After you sketch the toes, you should draw some spots, all over the dog’s body, just in a random pattern, which is up to you.

Step 5: As you can see, by looking at your drawing so far, everything came together quite nicely. All that is left to do is trace the lines you want to keep with a pen and just erase the extras.

The example shown above is colored in shades of brown, but you can use whatever combination of colors you like for the dog you learned to draw in this guide.
