Drawing A Cartoonish Dog
If you”ll be training kids how to draw, one of the most excellent topics to begin with would be a dog. This is because children feel affection for dogs and they are somewhat customary with how one would look like. For youngsters, a cartoon dog would be just suited.
Basic Body Parts
First you should sketch four circles. Set one circle on top of another, overlapping each other by about 1/3. Make the top most circle the smallest and as you go downward, make the next circle slightly larger than the previous. Align them vertically. Conversely place the second circle from the most top a bit off centered to the left. The top circle would be your dog’s head. The second one, which is off-centered, would be his snout. The lowest two would be your dog’s body.
Add Some Ears
Draw the ears. Pick one place on the upper right portion of its head and draw a sharp triangular arc going outwards. From the same point, draw a different triangular arc however this time a bit higher than the earlier one. Close them off by a curved line. This is your right dog ear. Complete the same on the left side. This time, make sure that the arc would be going out towards the left.
Add Some Eyes
Give your dog eyes. Draw two small circles within his head and just about on top of his muzzle. This would be his eyes. Insert two half circles above and around his eyes. These would serve as his eye brows. If you desire a pleased dog, then keep the half circles a bit high and curved for a dazzling disposition. However, if you desire your dog to be gloomy, substitute these arcs with diagonal lines going in direction of the center. If you require him to be mad, replace the arcs with just one long zigzagging line across his forehead.
Give Him A Nose
Now draw another small circle that is concentric to the second circle, which is the one that would stand out as your dog’s snout. This would be the tip of his nose. Put the nose tip a bit off-centered to the left.
Add The Legs
Draw his legs. This dog is essentially in a sitting position. Therefore, his front legs would be straight while his back legs must be folded. Situate these on the lowest circle. The rear legs ought to be sticking out from both sides of the body, while the two front legs are both occupying the center portion of the lowest circle. Do not overlook to give him paws as well. Situate paws on the end of the legs by drawing a fat ‘m” like shape and closing it off on its bottom portion.
Add Some Details And Clean Up
Add the particulars of his body, such as neck and mouth. For the neck, find the correct angle in which you can fashion a slightly diagonal line from the snout circle to the upper body or 3rd circle. The mouth should be under his nose. To finish, you ought to tidy up by erasing sketch lines which are not really needed for your dog’s body.
