How to Draw an Easy Cartoon Puppy

1. Begin the Easy Cartoon Puppy outline by drawing its large eyes. First, draw two curved lines to form the cheeks. Enclose a partial oval above each line. Draw two more successively smaller ovals inside each eye, and shade between them to indicate the pupils.

2. Draw a curved line above each eye to indicate the eyebrows. Between the eyes, enclose an irregular oval shape for the nose. Draw a "U" shaped line below the nose to form the mouth. Contour the corners of the mouth and the upper lip with short lines.

3. Enclose the puppy's face using a series of long curved lines. Use one line for the chin, and one for each side of the head. On top of the head, extend curved lines and double them back on themselves to form a tuft of fur.

Then, begin sketching the puppy's ear. Extend an "L" shaped line from the side of the head.

4. Use a "V" shaped line to draw the large, floppy ear. Connect it to the head at the bottom with a short line. Then, repeat the process on the opposite side.

5. Draw a small circle below the puppy's head. Above it, draw a curved rectangle to form the collar. Connect it to the head with two lines, enclosing the neck. From the top corners of the collar, extend short lines to meet the neck.

6. Extend curved lines downward from the collar to outline the body. Then draw a curved line and double it back on itself to form the puppy's leg.

7. Draw another line, doubled back on itself, to form the remaining foreleg. Above the legs, contour the chest with a curved "V" shaped line.

8. Use overlapping curved lines to enclose the rear legs on each side of the body. Detail the toes with short lines.

9. Draw the tail. Use a series of curved lines that meet at furry, jagged points.

Your easy cartoon puppy is now complete. Color him. Dogs come in many colors - white, black, gray, brown, blonde, yellow, red, and cream - and patterns - solid, brindle striped, or spotted.
