How to Draw a Great Looking Cat and Dog for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

Cat and Dog step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 01

1. Begin the cat and dog outline by drawing the dog's face. Draw the round nose with a slight point on the bottom. Draw a rounded "W" below it to form the mouth.

One arm of the "W" should touch the side of the nose and the other should meet a short curved line at the corner of the mouth.

Then, draw an irregular oval shape for each eye. Shade a partial oval to indicate the pupils in each. Draw curved lines above the eyes to form the eyelids and brows.
