1
Start with a circle and oval like this.
2
Add eyes on this line.
3
Add an oval for a nose and the letter U twice
for a smile.
4
Another letter U makes a great dog
tongue!
5
Ovals make great ears.
6
Two circles drawn like this start the
body.
(Draw the circle closest to the head so that that it is behind the
tongue like this.)
That's right - the technique is OVERLAPPING.
7
Connect the two circles with curved lines.
Add a line to show where the neck goes.
8
Add legs with slightly curved lines for legs
and ovals for feet.
9
Add legs with slightly curved lines for legs
and ovals for feet and you're done with the pencil
drawing.
10
Add a background and props to finish the
scene. Trace the lines you want to keep with a black felt tip or ball
point pen and then erase ALL of the pencil lines. The next step is up
to you. Color your dog with colored pencil, marker or crayons for a
classy finish!
