Have you ever looked up into the sky and wondered how to draw a small, fluffy dog? Sure, it’s easy to draw a larger breed like a Great Dane, but when it comes to more intricate and tiny breeds it can be more of a challenge. But, don’t worry, you don’t need to go down the route of artistic school or even have any background in technical drawing to get the right image. All it takes is a bit of creative imagination and some simple tips.<\/p>\n

The best way to start is to keep it simple! Don’t try to get too overwhelmed with details or intricate features, as you’ll only confuse yourself. Start by making a basic outline. This will form the body of your dog, so make sure it appears both proportional and resembles the size of the type of dog you’re trying to draw. Then, draw the ears, eyes and nose. Try to make the eyes big and round, and the nose small and pointed. It’ll bring your dog to life. Next up, add a tail. Make sure you draw it gently curving down, adding some shapes to give it texture and realism.<\/p>\n

Now that the basics are set, you can begin to flesh out your pup’s features. For this you’ll need to focus on texture and dimension. To make your dogs look soft and plush, start by lightly shading the main sections of fur. Give certain sections bolder shading to create depth and to differentiate between different parts of the body. To make the fur appear more realistic, add some fluffiness by artfully sketching in some sharp lines. This may sound hard, but keep your pencil light and use your own artistic judgment.<\/p>\n

The last step is to add details. This is the perfect time to experiment and let your creative juices flow! Draw differently curved lines, almost like waves. Make the snout thin, the eyes large and generous and the nose small and black. Finish it off with the collar and you’re done!<\/p>\n
