Probably, since the advent of "Carlson" Lindgren, all parents know exactly what is needed for the happiness of the whole family. Dog for kids! It is for this reason that a year ago we had a sandy-gold lump, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, which was named Gray. This miracle quickly became a member of the family and everyone's favorite. And that is why, when we decided to learn how to draw a dog with a pencil, the choice fell on the representative of this breed.
The history of the appearance of the "portrait" of Gray
For a week we “ran” after our dog, recalling “Prostokvashino” with a more than prophetic statement about our case: “I ran after her for half a day to take pictures!” But never received beautiful photo. Our tomboy managed to successfully avoid imprinting. That tail, then his nose all the time turned out to be closer to the lens. Having suffered, we went another, simpler way. It turned out that finding a suitable photo on the Internet, similar to our Gray dog, is easy. It is for him that we can draw a dog in stages.But while we were looking for "Gray", my child and I saw that the choice of potential models is huge. We could draw a husky with a pencil in stages, or a German shepherd, or even a husky. All of these are beautiful, graceful and intelligent dogs. Each of the representatives of its breed has characteristics, inherent only to them, but there are also personal qualities and features common to all dogs, for which we love them so much and value their friendship. For example, loyalty and the ability to rejoice at the owner, obedience and frankness (they cannot hide their emotions at all).
Already on early stages working on a drawing of a dog, when we just examined the varieties of these pets, we learned that they also differ in temperament, for example, there are choleric, sanguine, melancholic and phlegmatic, we got carried away. We wanted to learn how to draw not just an animal with four paws, ears and a tail, but also learn how to draw kind and grinning dogs, we wanted to try to draw a spaniel, a dachshund or a shepherd dog in stages with a pencil. But it will be later. In the meantime, our "test of the pen." Today we will show the dog in pencil in stages, and it will be our one-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback. We took him as a model.
Work plan
It turned out to be not at all difficult to draw a dog with a pencil in stages, if you move exactly according to the plan. What does it include:- Training;
- Image of the paws and body of the animal;
- Work on the muzzle of our pet;
- Picture formatting.
Step by step image of a dog
Stage 1. Preparation
It includes, first of all, the organization of the workplace.
Learning to draw, starting with auxiliary lines. We make two ovals that only touch each other. Required: the upper oval is almost 2 times smaller in size than the lower one. And it looks more like an uneven circle.
Even for beginners, this stage will not be difficult, and even a child will cope with it. But in the future, it would be nice if parents helped their baby in step-by-step drawing.
Stage 2. Image of the paws and body of the animal
How to draw paws for a dog? To do this, draw lines down from the lower oval, at the end of which there will be soft pads. The front paws are fully visible, we make them in their entire length, taking into account the proportions. Back - only one is visible, and since it is bent, we depict its upper part as an egg-shaped figure along the lower right side oval. And already a small part of the dog's paw comes from it.Draw the dog's neck with two curved lines. On the left side, we make the body a little larger.
We make a small circle at the bottom of the upper oval, which will also go to the lower one.
Stage 3. Work on the muzzle of our pet
How to correctly complete all the details of the head? To do this, we divide the upper oval with two arcuate lines, horizontal and vertical, into 4 parts.On the one that runs horizontally, the eyes will be located.
The drawn small circle is also divided in half by a vertical line. In the middle of it will be located the nose of the dog.
On the sides of the muzzle we make hanging ears characteristic of the Rhodesian Ridgeback.
We depict the eyes, we perform the nose of the animal more accurately.
Stage 4. Designing the picture
We have mastered the basic principles that help us understand how to draw. There are nuances left that will make our picture look like the original. Namely, we perform “fingers” on the paws, do not forget about the tail.
We remove all unnecessary lines. We provide the necessary details.
Outline each part of the picture with the desired color. Do not forget that the Rhodesian Ridgeback, although a smooth-haired breed, still has tiny hairs.
Now, having picked desired color, decorate the picture. Our Gray appears before us.
This picture is quite simple. Having already mastered a little, you can try more complex models, for example, figure out how to draw husky dog or some other breed. Good luck with this!

We have already drawn a portrait of a dog. - a dog with a very cute, but peculiar muzzle. I would say the pug's nose is shortened to the limit. And so I decided to compensate for this matter, and today we will learn how to draw a collie's head. That's really someone's muzzle elongated so elongated. This collie lives in our podezd and her name is Diana. A wonderful dog: when she jumps on the grass in the summer with some amazing angular grace and her long white-red hair flutters, you feel the joy of life so directly. And now to business. Let's start with the right profile.
The forehead is sloping, the nose is long-long. The mouth is ajar and the tongue is visible, even Diana's tongue is graceful, like a petal. The lips are slightly retracted and teeth are visible, very large, white sharp teeth. We see only the right eye - it looks small because it is narrowed. The ears are shaggy, no, this is not the right word, let's say - fluffy and do not stand up, but bend forward from the middle, the neck is also in furs.
There is a right collie profile. But we are learning, so we will complicate the task.
Now mentally expand it and draw a left profile.
Well, here we again need to emphasize a long straight nose, a funny bend of the ears and an open mouth: not a grin and not a smile, apparently it is just ventilated.
Okay, the collie's profile is very peculiar and recognizable, and the full face is just right. Let's deal with it. How to draw a dog's muzzle full face? Here we will help the ability to draw. Let's draw the middle line of the muzzle, designate the line of the eyes and their locations.
Let's denote the nose, the muzzle is tilted down and therefore the open mouth is not impressive: only the forging of the teeth on the lower jaw is slightly visible. The eyes are somewhat slanted and very widely spaced (well, that is, wide on such a narrow muzzle), but the eyebrows with a house give the dog's muzzle some kind of surprised melancholy expression. The forehead is narrow. The ears are bent and tilted towards the viewer. The fur on the neck is fluffy-fluffy. So, there is a pencil sketch, the portrait is quite recognizable, colloquial. Now we need to draw it with a marker.
The darkest eyes and nose-nose, well, by God, black and shiny, and the lips are also black ... wow. We draw pads near the nose, where the mustache grows from (I always want to call them “moustache” (but in fact the mustache and mustache are two-story dandy mustaches, similar to a pagoda).
In childhood, each of us created our own masterpieces on paper, and sometimes not only, using paints, pencils, felt-tip pens and everything that could leave its mark on the surface of interest. Your hobby in adulthood not many survived, and most left their skills at the initial stages of development. Of course, with the advent of children already in their own family and regular requests to draw someone to the baby, parents begin to think about how to do it beautifully and at the same time quickly. It is for this that detailed instructions are offered on how to draw a sitting dog with a pencil in stages.
Why a dog? Yes, because this animal has been the most devoted to man for more than one millennium and it deserves that everyone learns to portray it in the most realistic and attractive way.
Selecting the main tool
Why in pencil? The fact is that the pencil leaves behind a trace that is easy to erase when creating an incorrect line or shade. Neither with colored pencils, nor even with felt-tip pens, it will be possible to quickly correct the mistake, and the entire drawing will have to be redone. Before you draw a sitting dog, you should also understand the notation of this tool. Pencils come in different hardness and are labeled accordingly. Soft rods (letter B) are needed for shading and creating shadows, hard ones (letter H) - for outlining. number next to each letter designation determines the degree of its softness or rigidity.
In order to draw a dog with a pencil for children (sitting, lying or standing, it doesn’t matter), you need to choose a tool of medium hardness marked HB. It will be easy to wipe it if necessary, and the contours will remain clear.
Tool preparation
In addition to the pencil itself, you should also prepare a sheet of paper and an eraser. The latter should also be taken seriously, because its quality will also determine how well it will erase extra lines when adjusting the drawing. You can immediately prepare a lot of papers, it is quite possible that after the kid sees how his parent painted a sitting dog, he himself will want to create his own masterpiece.
Option one. head contours
To simplify the task for an inexperienced artist, it is better to start practicing with less realistic pictures. To do this, below is a detailed instruction on how to draw a dog sitting sideways.
- So let's start with the eyes. To do this, put a bold dot on paper, closer to the upper right corner.
- After that, above the point, you need to draw a semicircle, which will be the head of the animal, as shown in the figure.
- The next step involves tracing the contours of the dog's muzzle and its nose. To do this, draw a curved line from the end of the semicircle, which is located closer to the dog's eye. You can also draw the dog's mouth right there by drawing the second line a little lower.
- When the head has already received animal-like outlines, you should draw the dog's ear. Since he sits sideways, it will be one. You can choose any form for this at your discretion, since the variety of breeds makes it possible to roam your imagination.
Outline of body contours
- After that, from the bottom of the ear, if it hangs, or from the end of the free end of the semicircle, if the ear sticks out, you need to draw a curved line down, which will be the back of the animal.
- Now, on the opposite side, the contours of the chest and the tail are outlined at the bottom of the back.
- After that, the artist should draw a straight front paw of the dog, and then a bent back.
- The final step will be to trace the contour of the animal's abdomen and paint on the paws of the opposite side.
If it is still not clear how to draw a sitting dog step by step, you should take a look at the photo above.
Instruction for experienced artists
If you managed to cope with the previous task very quickly and there were no difficulties in the process, then next time you can try more complex pattern. Here, before you draw a sitting dog, even if you are confident in your lines, it is imperative to prepare an eraser, since all work will take place like real artists.
The instructions below will describe the process of creating a puppy on paper, but changing certain outlines can result in a completely different animal.
Beginning of work
The creation of every true masterpiece begins with a sketch. To do this, you just need to draw two circles on the sheet one above the other so that the top one is slightly smaller and they must be in contact. The lines should be soft so that later some of them can be erased without a trace. In the future, they will be the head and torso of the puppy.
After that, the dog should draw paws and a muzzle. The latter is an oval between the two previous circles, which captures the surface of both. The paws, since the animal is sitting, are drawn in three, in the form of lines and ovals at their ends.
Drawing details
How to draw a sitting dog with a pencil next? To do this, you need to add detail to the drawing and outline the outlines of the ears and nose of the animal. To make everything symmetrical and natural, a cross is drawn in the middle of the head. The ends of the horizontal line will indicate the location of the ears, and the middle of the vertical line, which runs through the muzzle, will indicate the place of the future nose. In the centers of the two parts of the horizontal line, you need to draw the eyes, and under the nose - the line of the mouth. It must necessarily pass strictly in the center of the previously indicated
Among the important details are also the puppy's toes, the fourth leg, which will be slightly visible, and its tail. You can make any shape of the tail, depending on the breed being drawn, and if you want to “revive” the drawing, you can add ruffled fur here and there.
Final stage
Correction of the drawing begins with erasing all additional lines and painting on the auxiliary outlines of the coat already on the puppy itself. Also, in order to give the picture maximum realism, you should add shadows to it. You only need to do this soft pencil, which can be easily shaded. The volume of the puppy will be given by shadows near the muzzle, on the paws, ears and in the eye area. To make the drawing as realistic as possible, the painted shadows should be rubbed well with your fingers or an unnecessary clean piece of paper. Also, claws are painted on the paws, and with the help of an eraser, you can make glare of light in the eyes and on the nose.
Conclusion
After a detailed study step by step instructions, it turns out to look at any process from a completely different perspective. Now the question of how to draw a sitting dog no longer seems so difficult even for an inexperienced person or child.
The main thing in creating your own masterpiece is to follow the correct sequence of actions and not to rush. Every detail must be worked out with maximum clarity and concentration, then the drawing will turn out to be as realistic as possible. Also in drawing, great attention should be paid to details, because they make the drawings “alive”.
Now, in order to draw a real friend of a person and the most devoted animal, you do not need to work for a long time and constantly be disappointed in yourself. Easy enough to use detailed instructions from already experienced artists, who are happy to help novice creators and just dog lovers create their own masterpieces.
