How to Draw Dog Man
- Sketch the head shape.
For the start, draw a dog head, which has a distinctive rounded form with an extended snout. Begin by drawing a large, slightly oval shape for the main part of the head. Then, extend this shape into a snout by adding a curved line on the right side.
- Sketch the torso of the character.
Add Dog Man’s body by drawing a triangular shape underneath his head. Start the triangle at the base of the head, making it slightly wider as it extends downward. Position it so that the triangle’s top is centered under the head. Keep the lines light so you can adjust as necessary.
- Draw the cap of Dog Man.
Start with a slightly tilted rectangle to represent the main part of the cap. Add a short, curved line at the front of the rectangle to form the brim of the cap. In the center of the cap, add a small emblem shaped like a rounded “W” or crown to signify his superhero identity.
- Add the eyes, nose, and mouth.
Begin by adding two simple vertical lines for his eyes, placing them close together on the upper part of the head. Next, draw a small circle at the end of the snout to represent his nose. Below the nose, add a wide, curved line to form his mouth.
- Detail the head of Dog Man.
Add Dog Man’s floppy ears on each side of his head. Each ear should resemble a rounded rectangle, positioned slightly behind the head. Add hair-like details on his face by drawing a series of short lines across his chin. Draw some dots at below the nose.
- Draw the arms and hands.
Start by drawing each arm extending outward from the sides of his triangular body. Use straight lines for the arms, bending them at the elbows so that the hands rest on his hips. Each hand should be represented with a simple geometric shape.
- Add the legs and feet.
Draw Dog Man’s legs beneath his body to give him a stable stance. Each leg should be a rectangular shape extending down from the bottom of his triangular torso. Make the legs slightly apart. At the base of each leg, add an oval shape for his feet. The feet should be wider than the legs.
- Erase the guidelines and add finishing touches.
Add Dog Man’s emblem in the center of his chest. This “W” emblem, which resembles a paw print or crown, is an important feature of his superhero outfit. After adding the emblem, carefully erase any remaining guidelines from previous steps to clean up your Dog Man drawing.
- Color the drawing of Dog Man
Use a light tan or yellow for his face, hands, and ears. Color his uniform and cap in a bright blue, and the pants in a bit darker blue, which is characteristic of his outfit. For the emblem on his chest and cap, use orange. Choose a dark brown for his shoes.

How to Draw Dog Man: Alternative Method
In this additional lesson on drawing a Dog Man, we should end up with the same result as in the first one. But the path we take will be a little different.
To begin drawing Dog Man with this method, start by sketching the basic shape of his head, which has a rounded form with a protruding snout. Next, add the cap on top of his head, drawing it with a slightly tilted angle and a small, curved bill. Then, attach the ears as simple oval shapes on the side of his head and draw a triangle-like shape below the head for the body.
Position the arms on each side, with simple shapes to represent Dog Man’s hands resting on his hips. For the legs, draw two narrow rectangles at the bottom of the body with small ovals for the feet. Add his facial features, including the eyes, a rounded nose, and a wide smile with a few stitch lines along the chin. Finally, draw the emblems with a “W” shape and erase any guidelines. Complete the drawing by coloring Dog Man’s head, hands, and ears tan, his uniform blue, and his shoes brown.
