how to draw a dog by step by step
STEP 1: Start with the eyes and draw them symmetrically onto each side of the nose. The nose should be a rounded upside-down triangle, with two rough circles drawn for nostrils.
STEP 2: Now add a mouth and a large tongue.
STEP 3: Add an outline for the head, with two ears hanging off the sides. Finish off the dog head with a few small lines to mark movement of the animal.
STEP 4: Finally, add the dog’s body, with simple paws to finish off the legs1
