Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Dog House

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

Dog House step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 01

1. Begin the dog house outline by drawing the roof. Use curved lines to outline a four-sided parallelogram shape, but don't let the lines connect in the upper corner.

Instead, extend another curved line from that corner to form the other side of the roof.

2. Complete the side of the roof with a long curved line. Give the opposite side a three-dimensional appearance by drawing long lines parallel to the sides, and a short line at the corner.

Then, outline a rectangle shape below the roof. Notice how one line doesn't quite touch the others. Then, draw a curved line to form the opposite side of the house's front.

Then, draw a curved line inside the "U" and parallel to its side to give the doorway a three-dimensional appearance. Draw two connected lines inside the house to outline the bottom of the wall.

Joke of the day: What do dogs and their dog houses have in common? They both have a roof!

Would you like to learn how to draw a dog house? This easy cartoon drawing tutorial will soon help you master the dog house outline.

Dog houses are just that - houses built for dogs. They are also called dogsheds or kennels.

They afford dogs a sense of security and protection from the weather, much as do the dens of the domestic dog's wild cousin.

Dog Houses are often built to resemble a small human home.

What does it mean to be "in the doghouse?" People use this phrase to mean that someone is in trouble - so much trouble that they've been kicked out of their own house and must sleep outside with the dog!

Most dogs live in a doghouse, but can you think of one that likes to sleep on top of his dog house?

It's Snoopy, of course! He can even fly his doghouse like an airplane - at least in his dreams. See this drawing guide to learn to how to draw Snoopy.
