How To Draw A Puppy, Easy
It’s nothing to bark about — drawing a puppy can be easy and exciting! Drawing doesn’t require any special skills or fancy supplies — just a bit of patience and creativity. To get started, find some paper and a pencil, get comfortable, and follow these simple steps.
1. Sketch Out The Shape
Start by sketching the overall shape of your pup. Simply make a few lines for the neck, torso, and hindquarters, and add a couple ovals for the head and nose. Work your way through bring out the details, like the back legs, tail and ears.
2. Add Fur
Draw small, short strokes to make fur around the body. Make sure to follow the dog’s natural contours and give it plenty of movement. Draw a few longer hairs to add texture and dimension.
3. Color In
Get out the coloring supplies—markers, crayons, or colored pencils work great for this step. Color in your pup with the color of your choice, being careful to follow the details and shading. Don’t be afraid to use lighter and darker shades to give your pup added depth and dimension.
4. Finish Up With Facial Expression
Last but not least, add some personality to your pup. Draw an adorable expression and details such as eyes, nose, and whiskers! For the final touches, you can use shading around the eyes, nose and mouth to create depth. Then step back and admire your work!
5. Personalize It
To really make your pup unique, give him a beautiful collar or a bowtie – or both! You may also get creative and add some color to it. Once you’re done, you can give your pup a special name and add some extra details such as a cute background. Voilà, you have your own puppy masterpiece!
6. Have Fun!
Drawing isn’t just about making perfect shapes and shades – it’s also about expressing yourself and having fun with it! Let your creativity run free and don’t be afraid to challenge yourself. Add more pups to your drawing or draw an entire family, try different backgrounds and colours, experiment with different shapes and sizes. Drawing can teach you so much if you push yourself and don’t be afraid of taking risks. So grab a pencil and have fun!
7. Be Proud!
Everyone loves a proud pup and you should be proud of your drawings too! Show your pup drawings to friends and family or post them on social media to share your work. Showing your work will make you more confident and guarantee to get some positive feedback on your drawing. Plus, it’s always nice to feel appreciated for your work!
8. Practice Makes Perfect!
Just like any other activity, practice makes perfect! Don’t be discouraged if your first drawing isn’t perfect. You may also want to look at different puppy images and try to redraw them. Most importantly, have fun and keep on drawing!
