Easy 5 Step By Step How to Draw a Puppy Dog + Free PDF Worksheet
What You Need To Draw Your Puppy :
- Paper, pencil or marker, and eraser
- Our Puppy Dog Drawing Guide PDF Worksheet (optional)
- Coloring supplies if you want to color in your drawing (optional)
Start by drawing lightly so that it can be easily erased if there are mistakes, continue by following the arrow step.
Step 1: Draw the Puppy Dog’s Body Shape
Start by drawing a simple rounded shape for the dog’s body. Then, add two straight legs with tiny oval paws at the bottom. The front legs should be straight.
Tip for Kids: Keep your pencil strokes light so you can easily erase and fix shapes! Don’t worry if it’s not perfect. You will get better with practice!
Step 2: Draw the Back legs, Tail, and Paw Details
Now, draw the back legs that bend slightly to give the dog a natural pose. Then add a triangle tail at the back of the body. Make it slightly curved upwards to give your dog a playful look! Finally, add small ovals for the paw details at the bottom of each leg.
Tip for Kids: The triangle tail can be curved or straight depending on how playful or relaxed your dog is!
Adding the tail, legs, and paw details gives the dog structure and balance, helping kids understand how each part of the body connects.
Step 3: Draw the Puppy’s Head and Ears
Time to give your dog a head! Draw a large circle above the body. Then, add two rounded triangular shapes on top for the floppy ears. Keep the ears slightly wide apart to make the dog look extra friendly.
Tip for Kids: The oval head and floppy ears give the dog a friendly look that kids love.
Step 4: Draw the Puppy’s Face Details
Now, let’s make our dog come to life! Inside the head, draw:
- Two circles for the eyes, with small circles inside each for extra detail.
- Two curved lines above the eyes for the eyebrows.
- An oval in the center for the nose.
- Two half circles below the nose to create the mouth.
Tip for Kids: This step introduces kids to face details, helping them see how small elements can change the puppy dog’s expression.
Step 5: Color your Puppy Dog
Great job! Now it’s time to bring your dog to life with colors! Use brown, black, white, or any color you like. You can even add spots or a fun pattern to make your dog unique. Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to color your dog.
Tip for Kids: Classic dog colors like brown and black are great, but encourage your child to use their imagination to create a unique dog.
Coloring helps bring the dog drawing to life and lets kids explore different color combinations, enhancing their artistic abilities.
