How To Draw A Dogs Head
Are you ever mesmerized by dogs and want to learn how to draw their furry faces? Try this step-by-step guide to drawing a canine head! Let’s dive in and explore how to capture their adorable ears, eyes and noses.
Sketching the Outline
Before we begin, let’s gather some tools: a pencil, an eraser and some paper! Let’s start by sketching a simple outline of the head. This could be a circle or an oval, and give it a few curved lines to depict the muzzle. Hmm, what else could we add to make it look more like a pup? Let’s throw in some floppy ears and a cute little nose!
Adding Details
Now that we have our outline, let’s get creative! We can add individual markings to each ear to make them look furrier. We can also shade different areas of the muzzle with quick strokes of our pencil. How about some big, soulful eyes? They can be almond-shaped and slightly tilted. Then, let’s make the nose look more alive with quick sketches of nostrils and an adorable button-shaped nose.
Adding the Fur
For a realistic look, let’s add some soft-looking fur around the ears, muzzle, and body. We can do this with a few strokes of our pencil. Just make sure not to press too hard and make sure to draw in the same direction as the fur would grow. Let’s add some shading and texture around the edges to make the fur look thicker, softer and cuddlier.
Final Touches
Now that we have the head, let’s make it pop by adding some highlights. We can do this by creating lighter shades inside the eyes and around the muzzle. We can also add some light shading along the edges of the ears to make them stand out. Finally, we can give our pup a shiny coat of fur by stroking white and yellow over the fur using our pencil.
Time To Draw!
Remember, the most important part of drawing a dog’s head is practice and patience. Don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect on your first try – just keep practising and soon enough, you’ll be drawing woof-tastic canine heads. Get ready to draw your adorable pup with this step-by-step guide!
Shading the features
Let’s now focus on shading the features of your pup’s head. Start with the eyes, by outlining them and then lightly shading the areas below the iris. Continue to the nose and muzzle, and carefully sketch the nose lines and shading. Don’t forget to define the outline of the ears too, by carefully shading them too.
Adding Volume
Now that the pup’s head is taking shape, let’s add more volume to its features. Shade the eyes using a darker shade, starting from the corner of the eyes and moving downwards. Then, add some strokes and shading to the nose and muzzle, to give it the volume of a pup’s head. Finally, add some texture and volume to the ears and the body of the pup.
Highlighting
Next, let’s add some finishing touches and highlights to your pup. Start with the eyes, by adding some white highlights within and around the eyes. Then, add some white and yellow highlights to the nose, muzzle, ears and body. Finally, add some light outlines around the pup’s features, to give it a realistic touch.
Voila!
You have now successfully drawn an adorable pup head! Remember not to be too hard on yourself if the drawings don’t turn out as you expected. With practice comes perfection, and soon enough you’ll be an expert pup-drawer. Let your imagination and creativity run wild, and you can create masterpieces of woof-tastic canine heads.
