Once a puppy is drawn, add other objects to bring out the cuteness.
When artists draw cute puppy pictures, they look at differences between breeds for inspiration and to create variety. There are many breed differences between canines; these include hair length, nose size and many other features. For instance, nose types include a long nose, such as the German Shepherd's, a Pekingese-style short nose and the wrinkled nose of the pug. It helps to keep such variations in mind when sketching out the basic shapes for the puppy picture.
Instructions
1. Establish an action line to represent what the puppy is doing. An action line for a puppy that is sitting will be vertical; if the puppy is lying down, the line of action is horizontal.
2. Create a shape that represents the dog's head, such as a circle or oval. Draw a horizontal and vertical line going down the center head.
3. Draw a long nose by beginning at the top of the horizontal line and going down to the bottom of the circle. If the dog is facing to the side, draw the nose on the outside of the circle. For a short nose, draw an oval.
4. Create a rounded "W" shape under the nose to represent the top of the mouth, and add a "U" shape under the "W" to represent a tongue hanging out.
5. Sketch circles for the eyes on each side of the vertical line. Create oval shapes for the pupils and shade them in. The pupils should take up at least a quarter of the eye.
6. Create an oval shape to represent the puppy's body along the action line, and draw lines that connect the body to the head. The body should be about twice the size of the head.
7. Add cylinder shapes for the legs and circles for the paws. Erase the line that separates the two.
8. Add a tail, ears and fur according to the breed of puppy; for instance, for a cocker spaniel, you might draw a short tail and long, floppy ears.
9. Go back over the drawing, erasing any unneeded lines and reinforcing other lines.
