Gather Your Supplies
Before you start drawing, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. You will need:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Paper
- Reference photo of a puppy
Start with Basic Shapes
Begin by sketching the basic shapes that make up the puppy's body. Start with an oval for the head and a smaller oval for the body. Connect the two ovals with a neck line.
Draw the Features
Once you have the basic shapes in place, start adding the features of the puppy. Add two small circles for the eyes, a triangle for the nose, and a line for the mouth.
Add Details
Next, add details to make your puppy drawing more realistic. Add ears on top of the head, paws at the bottom of the body, and a tail at the back. Don't forget to add fur texture to make it look fluffy.
Refine Your Drawing
Once you have all the features in place, go over your drawing and refine the lines. Clean up any messy lines and add any final details to make your puppy drawing pop.
Shading and Texturing
To add depth to your drawing, you can add shading and texturing. Use your pencil to add shadows under the puppy's body and ears. Add lines and strokes to create a fur texture that gives your drawing a realistic look.
Final Touches
Finally, add any final touches to make your puppy drawing complete. Erase any remaining guidelines and add any additional details to make your drawing stand out.
Practice Makes Perfect
Remember, drawing takes practice. Don't be discouraged if your first attempt doesn't turn out the way you want it to. Keep practicing and you will improve over time.
