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

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

1. Begin your easy dog outline by drawing the animal's head. Draw a slightly curved horizontal line. This will be the top of the head.

From one end of the horizontal line, draw a large "U" shaped line, and connect it to the opposite end of the horizontal line. This encloses the shape of the dog's head.
