To draw a dog, first draw a number six to create the body and legs. Then draw a circle above for the head and an oval next to it for the snout. Add details like an ear on the circle, nose on the oval, and whiskers. Finish by tracing the body with zigzag lines for fur and adding paws.

1. How to draw a Dog

2. To draw a dog, you should begin by
drawing the number 'six', followed by
three lines, fairly close together. This will
create the dog's seated body and legs.

3. On top of these lines, you can draw a circle and an oval
to the right of that connected to the circle. This is the
head and snout of the dog. Now you have the basic
shape of the dog, next you just have to fill in the details.

4. Start with a pointy ear on top of the circle. Then, add a
nose on the top right end of the oval. To make the oval
appear more snout-like you can add 'wrinkles’. You can
also add whiskers if you choose, and follow with a line
at the end of the oval, just inside, to create the 'split'
that leads down to a dog's mouth.

5. Now, you can add fur. Using a zigzag line, trace
back over the body to create the look of fur on
the dog's back and legs. Add paws to the feet.
You can also add a paw at the bottom right of
the number 'six', as the part that curves
around is meant to be the bent leg when
seated. Add an eye to the dog, and you are
done.

6. And that’s it!
Drawing dogs is not a complicated thing.
Once you've gotten down the concept, it's a
lot easier to experiment with your own
ideas.
