Step One: Gathering Supplies
The first step to drawing a dog sitting is to gather all the supplies you need. You’ll need paper, pencils or other drawing materials, and some reference images for inspiration. Reference images can be real-life or images found online or in books. Print out your reference images and use them for inspiration and guidance. When you have all the supplies you need, you’re ready to begin.
Step Two: Sketch the Shape of the Dog
Using your reference images, start by sketching the general shape of the dog. Look at the shape of the dog’s head, the neck, body, and legs. Use your pencil to lightly sketch the shape of these body parts on your paper. Once you have the general shape of the dog, you can begin to add in more details.
Step Three: Add Details
Now it’s time to add more details to your dog. Look at your reference images and take note of the fur, eyes, ears, paws, and other details. Start by sketching out large details such as the eyes, ears, and paws. Then, use your pencil to add in smaller details such as fur, whiskers, and other features.
Step Four: Colorize the Drawing
Once you’ve sketched out all the details of your dog, you can begin adding color. Use colored pencils, markers, or paints to add color to your dog. Make sure to take your time and add colors that accurately reflect the colors of the dog in your reference image.
Step Five: Finalize and Clean Up
The last step to drawing a dog sitting is to finalize and clean up your artwork. Using a kneaded eraser, gently erase any unwanted lines and smudges. If you want to add more details, now would be the time to do it. Once you’re finished, you’ll have a beautiful drawing of a dog sitting!
