Courage the Coward Dog step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 01

1. Begin your Courage the Cowardly Dog outline by drawing his large oval-shaped eyes. Draw a small oval within each eye and an even smaller oval inside it.

Shade between the two ovals to form the character’s pupils. Draw a curved line at the bottom of each eye.

At the top, draw a very narrow curved triangle overlapping the top of the eye. Erase as necessary. These are Courage’s eyebrows.

"I just know something bad is going to happen." - Courage

Would you like to learn how to draw Courage the Cowardly Dog? This easy, step-by-step cartoon character drawing guide is here to show you how to draw a Courage the Cowardly Dog outline.

Courage the Cowardly Dog is the title character of a Cartoon Network cartoon that ran for four seasons from 1999 to 2002. It is of the horror and dark comedy genre.

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

Courage lives with an elderly couple, Eustace and Muriel Bagge, in the town of Nowhere, Kansas. Courage is kind, but he is easily frightened and almost always anxious.

This is not surprising, as danger and supernatural events are the norms in his life!

After all, his parents were kidnapped by an evil veterinarian and sent to outer space when he was just a pup, and Muriel was once bitten by and became a "weremole."

Courage, though, also lives up to his name. Though nearly paralyzed with fear, he bravely and selflessly acts to save his owners and his friends from the dangers they don't even realize they are in.

Did you know? Like his fellow cartoon canine Snoopy, Courage is considered to be a beagle. He faces down villains like Scooby Doo.
