Imported analogues are labeled as - H (hardness - hard), B (blackness - soft), HB (hard-soft). HB or TM is the most common type for drawing. A number is indicated before the letters, which is an indicator of the degree of hardness of the pencil.

How to draw a dog with a pencil

Start drawing the head by drawing lines of symmetry. Draw the nose and mouth, ears on the sides of the head. The eyes are the most expressive detail and set the mood for the entire drawing.

How to draw a dog step by step with a pencil

Draw a square in thin lines with a pencil. Use a ruler to find the middle of the sides and divide the square into 4 parts. Draw a circle (head). Most of it is located at the top of the square. At the top of the lower right square, draw a smaller circle (the muzzle). Mark the position of the ears. The right ear is higher than the left and located in the upper right square. Sketch the eyes. Draw a circle (nose) on the muzzle.

Sketch the neck and torso.

Connect the top points of the ears with a line. Draw lines parallel to it, connecting the upper and lower parts of the eyes, mouth, nose, nostrils.

Adjust the shape of the ears, eyes, and muzzle. In the nose draw 2 arcs (nostrils), under the nose draw the curve of the mouth.

Outline the neck and torso.

Drawing fur

Erase the auxiliary lines, leaving the mesh of the muzzle visible. The dog's fur is drawn with strokes of varying thickness and length and color saturation. Watch the direction of their bend.

Apply fuzzy strokes around the perimeter of the head to indicate the texture of the fur. Add long strokes at the top of the dog's head. Give the ears some fluffiness around the edges. Cover the surface of the ears with wool. To add volume and depth, darken certain areas. Draw the area between the eyes with strokes that vary in shape and size. Draw the fur under the left ear. Shade the outline of the muzzle and chin.

Draw fur on the sides of the nose, under the mouth. Watch the direction of the hairs. Shade the torso and neck.

Drawing eyes, nose

Area 1 (highlight) is the lightest and brightest in the eyeball. Area 2 (pupil) is the darkest part of the eye. Area 3 (iris) is the colored part of the eye. Area 4 (white) part of the eye is light, but not white. Area 5 (eyelid). Give your dog's eyes an almond shape. Outline the lower part of the eye (eyelid). Draw in an arc at the inner corners of the eyes (iris). Add a highlight to your eyes. Inside each iris, draw the 1st circle (pupil). Draw the lines of the nose. Draw the nostrils. Draw curves under the nostrils. Add highlights to the nose. This is what you should get as a result.

Shading of eyes, nose

Sketch the iris of the eyes. It is darker at the top and lighter at the bottom. Shade the eyelids so that there is a thin light stripe on them. Shade the squirrels with an HB pencil; usually in dogs they are always in the shade. Use a 2B pencil to shade the top of the iris and the outer edge of the eyelids. Lightly blend the iris and whites with cotton wool. Use a 6B pencil to darken the pupils. Blend your eyes towards the outer edge. Using an HB pencil, sketch out the nose in small spirals. Draw out the contour of the highlights on the nose and the areas under the nostrils with dots and small turns. Use a 2B pencil to shade the shadow areas of the nose. Draw the nostrils with a 4B pencil. Blend the nose, then re-lighten the highlights with an eraser.

Working out the details

You need to apply shadows to the fur. This will give volume to the pattern, highlight the light source and emphasize the structure of the wool. The light is coming from the top left, which means the darker fur will be on the bottom right.

Shade the fur around the eyes, nose, mouth. Shade the areas under the eyes and around the eyes where the shadow falls. Fill in light areas with a 2H pencil, for dark areas use 2B, 4B pencils.

Draw a shadow under the dog's chin. Check the shading of different areas again. If everything is in order, the drawing is ready.

It often happens that you want to draw not an abstract dog, but a representative of a certain breed. Below are several examples.

Probably, since the appearance of “Carlson” Lindgren, all parents know exactly what is needed for the happiness of the whole family. Dog for children! It is for this reason that a year ago we got a sandy-golden lump, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, who was named Gray. This miracle quickly became a member of the family and everyone's favorite. And that’s why, when we decided to find out how to draw a dog with a pencil, the choice fell on a representative of this breed.

The history of the appearance of Gray's "portrait"

But while we were looking for Gray, my child and I saw that the choice of potential models was huge. We could draw a husky with a pencil step by step, or a German shepherd, or even a husky. These are all beautiful, graceful and intelligent dogs. Each of the representatives of their breed has characteristic features that are unique to them, and there are also personal qualities and traits 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 at the initial stages of working on a drawing of a dog, when we just looked at the varieties of these pets, we learned that they differ in temperament, for example, there are choleric, sanguine, melancholic and phlegmatic people, we got carried away. We wanted to learn how to draw not just an animal with four legs, ears and a tail, but also to master the patterns of drawing kind and grinning dogs, we wanted to try to draw a spaniel, dachshund or shepherd in pencil step by step. But that will come later. In the meantime, our “test of the pen”. Today we will show a dog in pencil step by step, and this will be our one-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback. We took him as a model.

Work plan

• Preparation;
• Image of the paws and body of the animal;
• Working on our pet's face;
• Design of the picture.

Step-by-step image of a dog

Stage 1. Preparation

Let's learn to draw, starting with auxiliary lines. We make two ovals that just 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 can cope with it. But in the future it would be good if parents helped their child in step-by-step drawing.

Stage 2. Image of the paws and body of the animal

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 extend onto the lower one.

Stage 3. Working on our pet’s face

The one that runs horizontally will have eyes.

The drawn small circle is also divided in half by a vertical line. The doggie's nose will be located in the middle of it.

On the sides of the muzzle we make the hanging ears characteristic of the Rhodesian Ridgeback.

We depict the eyes and perform the nose of the animal more accurately.

Stage 4. Design of the picture

We remove all unnecessary lines. We provide the necessary details.

We 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 selected the desired color, we color the picture. Our Gray appears in front of us.

This picture turned out quite simply. Having already become a little more comfortable, you can try more complex models, for example, figure out how to draw husky dog or some other breed. Good luck with this!

We will show you how to draw a dog. Our step-by-step photos will help you with this.

For classes you need to use soft pencil, eraser, colored pencils or watercolors.

Before starting the drawing process, discuss with your child the sequence of creating the image.

Step 1

Draw two circles of approximately the same diameter, one above the other, slightly moving the bottom one to the left relative to the vertical axis.

Step 2

Mark the top circle as shown in my drawing. In the future, this will help you easily and simply draw a puppy with a pencil or felt-tip pens.

On a note: To draw auxiliary lines, use only a simple pencil and an eraser.

Step 3
