How to Draw a Bernedoodle

Step 1: The head

Start high on the left. Draw a big round U head, stopping high on the right. Leave the top open.

Tip Leave room underneath for the body and legs.

Step 2: Fluffy top and ears

From the left corner draw 4 fluffy bumps over to the right corner. Hang a bumpy ear on each side.

Tip Poodle fur is all pom-poms: every edge is bumpy.

Step 3: Two big eyes

Just above the middle of the head draw 2 eggy eyes. Add big black dots with tiny shines.

Step 4: Snout and nose

Under the eyes draw a wide oval snout inside the head. Sit a black triangle nose on top, point down.

Step 5: Smile and tongue

From the nose draw a short line down to a w smile. Hang a small U tongue from the middle.

Step 6: The body

From under each ear draw a big C down for the body, ending low. Join them with a sagging line.

Tip The body is a bit wider than the head.

Step 7: The collar

Under the chin draw a sagging curve from the left side across to the right. Add a second curve below.

Step 8: Front legs

From the collar draw 2 legs down to round paws on the ground. Add 2 toe lines on each paw.

Tip Make each leg a little narrower just above its paw.

Step 9: Back paws and tail

Draw a little hill paw at each bottom corner. From the right hip draw a fluffy tail curving up.

Tip Draw a small curve across the top of the tail, for its white tip.

Step 10: Stripe and ground

Draw a thin stripe down the middle of the face, from the forehead to the snout. Add a ground line.

Step 11: Tan brows, pink tongue

Colour a small tan dot over each eye, and the tongue pink.

Step 12: Red collar

Colour the collar bright red.

Step 13: Dark grey coat

Colour the dog dark grey around the collar, brows and tongue. Leave the stripe, snout, paws and tail tip white.

Tip Keep the eyes white.
