Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Cute Dog
How to Draw a Great Looking Cute Dog for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the cute dog outline by drawing the dog’s snout or muzzle. Enclose the nose, a rounded shape with a gentle point at the bottom. Extend a wide, rounded “W” shaped line below it.
On one side, let the arm of the “W” curve around to meet the side of the nose. Use another curved line for the lower jaw, and place short lines at the corner of the mouth.

2. Draw the dog’s eyes. Use curved lines to create the triangular shapes. Connect the far eye to the nose with a curved line, and contour the same between the eyes with short lines.

6. Continue the line at the dog’s side to begin sketching the foreleg. Draw a series of curved lines that meet at jagged points to indicate the furry chest.
From the chest, extend another curved line to complete the leg. At the bottom, double the line back on itself so that it overlaps the previous line, enclosing the leg and forming the paw. Detail the toes with curved lines.

7. Draw the remaining front leg, using curved lines that meet at points. Again, double the inner line back upon itself to enclose the leg and form the paw.
Band the paw with lines to indicate the toes. Since the dog is sitting, the rear legs will be bent. Outline the first using two curved lines.

Color Your Cute Dog Drawing
Color your cartoon of a cute dog sitting. We’ve shaded ours in the blonde tones of a golden retriever.
With the long hair of its ears, this pup could easily pass for a retriever or a cocker spaniel, like Lady from Disney’s Lady and the Tramp.

Everyone loves the playful antics of a cute dog. We pet their bellies and boop their noses.
But why are dogs so cute?
Some scientists say it's because we find them childlike. Dogs, even when they are adults, have large heads and big, expressive eyes.
They like to play and be cuddled. They even have the language comprehension of a small child, understanding perhaps hundreds of words.
So, the experts say, perhaps they trigger "human's nurturing and protective instincts." And that's what we do - we feed them and care for them.
Whatever the reason, videos and school supplies featuring images of cute dogs are here to stay.
