Learn How To Draw Pluto the Dog’s Head
No Disney fan will ever forget Pluto, the playful pup and beloved character of the early golden age animation. Though some may see him as an old-fashioned relic, many fondly remember this man’s best friend and still adore him. Even today, you can still draw his head easily with a few basic steps.
{Contraction Words}
First of all, let’s explore the basics. Pluto has a very round, egg-like head. His muzzle sticks out slightly from his snout and has a mustache-like pattern beneath it. His ears jut out from the sides of his head and point upward. Finally, he’s got those iconic black eyes with a tan-colored space in between them. Now that you know what to look for, you can start drawing!
{Hyperboles}
Start by sketching an egg-like shape with a curved line around the edges. This will form the basic structure of his head. As you get further along in the process, you’ll notice the curved-line slowly turning into a round circle before eventually taking on the form of a pup’s head. Yeah, it’s that easy!

Next, you need to draw his unique mustache-like pattern beneath his muzzle. Using short, bold strokes, draw two lines that curve down from the middle of his snout to his chin. You’ll be totally amazed when you see the effect this simple step has on your drawing, transforming it from an abstract circle into a lively pooch!
{Metaphors}
Now, it’s time to add Pluto’s ears. Think of them as the wings of the butterfly. They start from the sides of his head and soar up and outwards, contouring the shape of his head. Finish off the look with Pluto’s iconic black eyes and tan-colored space in between them.
{Emotional Triggers}
And there you go! You just drew Pluto’s head! Now that you know how to draw him, once you’ve perfected your technique, you can spend hours creating as many fanart characters of your favorite Disney pup as you want. Enjoy the process and make sure to show us your creations!
