How to Draw Max from The Grinch

1. Begin the Max from The Grinch outline by drawing the cartoon dog's eyes. Use curved lines for the cheeks and top of the nose.

Then enclose the eyes using "U" shaped lines. Shade an oval-shaped pupil in each eye.

2. Use a series of overlapping curved lines to sketch the dog's snout and nose. Then, use more curved lines for the eyebrows and eyelashes.

3. Outline the sides of the dog's face using long curved lines. Then, draw the open mouth using two "U" shaped lines.

Draw the tongue, extending a curved line and doubling it back on itself, and erasing as necessary.

4. Draw the ears. Extend two pairs of long curved lines from the head. Allow the lines to overlap at the ends, giving the ears a floppy, three-dimensional appearance.

5. Enclose a large "y" shape on top of the dog's head. This is a stick, part of the dog's disguise as a reindeer. Draw a curved line across the stick and the dog's face, indicating the string that is tying it on.

6. Use a series of curved lines that meet at jagged points to draw the dog's furry chest.

Use a long curved line for the side of the front leg and short curved lines for the contours of the ends of the sticks and the bow tied on top.

7. Use curved lines that meet at points to continue drawing the legs. Band the paws with short lines to differentiate the toes.

8. Use a series of overlapping curved lines to draw the dog's back, rear leg, paw, and the beginning of its tail.

9. Finish the tail with a jagged series of curved lines. Contour the top of the nose and the fur of the chest with short lines.

Your Max from The Grinch outline is now complete. Max has golden yellow fur, brown ears, and a pink tongue. Don't forget that the thread used to tie on the branch was red!
