How to Draw a Husky Face
- Draw the outline of the husky face.
Start by sketching a large oval shape for the husky’s head. This will be the base outline of the husky face, so keep it simple and symmetrical. In shape, the basic outline of the husky’s head at this stage should somewhat resemble a football.
- Draw the eyes of the husky.
Next, draw two small ovals inside the head outline for the eyes. Make sure the eyes of the husky are about the same size and aligned symmetrically on each side. To make the task easier, you can first sketch a light horizontal line and then use it as a guide to draw the eyes.
- Draw the nose and eyebrows.
Now, add a small oval between and slightly below the eyes to represent the nose of the husky. Place it just below the center of the face. After that, draw the eyebrows of the husky dog using a couple of small ovals above the eyes.
- Add the mouth and tongue.
Below the nose, draw a couple of small curved lines to form the mouth of the husky dog. Then, draw a curved line below, to indicate the lower lip or the tongue of the animal. The shape of the dog’s mouth should resemble the letter W or the number 3 turned on its side.
- Draw the ears of the dog.
Next, draw two triangular shapes at the top of the dog’s head outline for the ears. Huskies have prominent, upright ears, so make sure they are fairly large and pointy. Add an inner line within each ear to represent the inner outlines.
- Draw the fluffy cheeks.
On each side of the face, add curved lines to create the fluffy cheek fur typical of a husky. These lines should extend outward slightly from the head outline and have a jagged or wavy look to mimic the texture of fur. When drawing this part, it is very important to maintain symmetry.
- Add the facial markings.
Now, add markings on the face of the husky by drawing a curved line above the eyes that arches downward and reaching the fur on the cheeks from the previous step. Huskies have unique facial markings, often resembling a mask pattern, and it is very important to replicate it in your drawing.
- Finalize the sketch of the dog head.
In this step, go over your drawing of a husky face and clean up any rough or extra lines. Refine the outline of the head, eyes, nose, and mouth to make everything look neat and polished. You may also want to add some details to make your husky face drawing look more realistic.
- Color the husky face.
Typically, huskies have a combination of black, gray, and white fur. Color the upper part of the head with a darker shade, leaving the lower part lighter to create the recognizable husky face color palette. Use black for the nose and eyes, and add pink for the tongue and inner parts of the ears.

Easy Husky Face Drawing Tutorial
This husky head drawing tutorial has fewer steps and demonstrates a simplified, stylized dog face with minimal features, making it easier and quicker to follow. It uses basic shapes without detailed features like individual fur lines.
To draw a husky face in this tutorial, start by sketching the outline of the husky’s head, creating a slightly rounded shape with a jagged edge at the bottom to represent fur. Next, add two pointed ears at the top, positioning them symmetrically. Draw an inner outline within each ear. Then, add a distinct marking on the face that resembles the husky’s mask-like pattern, curving it around the eyes and cheeks.
Place two small circles for the eyes within this marking, making them simple. Below the eyes, draw a rounded nose in the center and a small mouth line just below it to complete the facial features. Finally, color the husky face with typical shades, using darker tones for the outer fur and lighter tones within the facial marking. This tutorial shows a clear, easy way to create a recognizable husky face.
Simple Husky Head Drawing Tutorial
This lesson on drawing a husky head is a little more detailed than the previous one, but less detailed than the very first tutorial. This tutorial presents a basic and rounded style for drawing a husky face. It uses simple shapes and a few details.
To draw a simple husky face, start by drawing a large circle for the head outline. Inside the circle, add two small ovals for the eyes and a slightly larger oval below for the nose. Under the nose, draw the mouth and tongue by extending a rounded shape downwards. Next, draw two triangular ears at the top of the head.
Add fluffy lines on each side of the head to create the characteristic husky fur texture. Inside each ear, draw a smaller triangular outline to represent the inner ear parts. Then, add the distinctive husky mask by sketching a curved line around the face. Finally, color the husky face, using a mix of gray for the fur, black for the eyes and nose, and pink for the tongue.
Alternative Method
Here you can see a cheerful husky with his tongue hanging out. This lesson is also very simple, and the sequence of steps here is also a little different.
To draw an easy husky face in this style, begin by sketching the outline of the head, shaping it with curved lines that hint at the fluffy fur around the face. Next, add two pointed ears at the top. Inside each ear, draw an inner triangular shape for added detail. Then, create the husky’s characteristic face pattern by drawing a large shape around the face that covers the forehead, cheeks, and muzzle area.
Add two small circles for the eyes, placing them within the mask area, followed by smaller circles inside for the pupils. Below the eyes, draw a small nose and two curved lines for the mouth, giving the husky a Fre cognizable look. Finally, color the husky face, using a darker tone for the outer fur and a lighter shade within the mask area, finishing with black for the nose and eyes and red for the tongue.
