How to Draw a Boxer Dog

1. Begin the boxer dog outline by sketching his expressive eyes. Use curved lines to trace the eyes, pointed at the corners, and the round pupils within.

Then, contour the face and begin the shape of the snout using curved lines.

2. Use curved lines to craft the triangular shape of the nose as well as the sagging jowls. Contour the snout with curved lines.

3. Use overlapping curved lines to trace the lumpy skin on top of the head, the lower lip, and the jawline.

4. Use curved lines to outline the shapes of the floppy ears. Then, use long curved lines to draw the dog’s neck and chest.

5. Extend a pair of curved lines to outline the leg. Notice the bulges at the knee and ankle. Then, enclose the paw by using overlapping curved lines to draw the toes.

6. Draw the remaining front leg. Again, use a pair of long curved lines, and overlapping curved lines for the toes. Then, extend a long curved line to draw the dog’s slender belly.

7. Extend the back of the neck to trace the dog’s back. Then, use overlapping curved lines to draw his stubby tail.

8. Extend two long curved lines to outline the rear leg. Notice how the leg is wider at the top, and note the bulge of the ankle.

As before, use overlapping curved lines to draw the toes and enclose the bottom of the leg.

9. Complete your boxer dog outline by drawing the remaining rear leg. Again, use a pair of curved lines for the leg and short, overlapping lines for the toes. Notice that this leg is bent more than the others.

Color your cartoon boxer dog. We’ve shaded ours brown with a black snout and white markings on its neck, belly, and legs.

This is a classic color configuration for boxers. They can also be pure white, black and white, a light tan color called fawn, or brindle - a stripy pattern of black and brown.
