Basic Information on How to Draw a Puppy

In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw a puppy. Here is a side view. This puppy looks very cute and funny. The puppy has a contrasting color, in which there are white and dark colors. It is difficult to say what breed of dog is represented here, because the puppy is very small and, moreover, it is a cartoon drawing. It looks very much like a Cocker Spaniel puppy. The main features of this breed are long drooping ears and a wavy coat.

Pay attention to what features the puppies have. The most important thing is body proportions. All puppies have large heads and short legs. Also, puppies have a small, almost flat nose, which will take on a completely different shape as they grow up.

This puppy has a wavy coat. It is not necessary to exactly follow the contour of the fur, you can make more arbitrary lines. In this lesson, focus on body proportions.

Memorize the sequence of the puppy drawing tutorial and then you will apply the acquired skills in your drawings.
