How to Draw a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Draw a Cavalier King Charles spaniel in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: soft round head.
Step 1: Soft round head
Near the top, draw a big soft egg head, a little flat on top with fat cheeks.
Tip Leave room underneath for the body and legs.
Step 2: Long wavy ears
From each top corner, draw a long wavy ear down past the chin, ending on the cheek.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the middle of the head, draw 2 big round eyes. Add a black dot and shine in each.
Step 4: Short nose
Under the eyes, draw a small oval snout. Add a rounded triangle nose, coloured black with a tiny shine.
Step 5: Smile and tongue
From the nose, draw a short line down to a little w smile. Hang a U tongue from the middle.
Step 6: The body
From under each ear, draw a big C curve down and out, ending near the bottom. Join the ends across.
Tip The body is a bit wider than the head.
Step 7: White chest
Start on the left ear's edge. Draw a round U across the chest and stop on the right ear.
Step 8: Front legs
From the chest line, draw 2 thick legs down to round paws and back up. Add toes and the ground.
Step 9: Back paws
Draw a round paw at each bottom corner, tucked behind the front paws. Add 2 toe lines on each.
Step 10: Feathery tail
Start behind the right side, below the ear. Draw a feathery tail curving up to a soft tip.
Step 11: The blaze
From the top of the head, draw 2 blaze lines down to the snout.
Step 12: Pink tongue
Colour the tongue pink. Leave the body, chest, blaze, snout, legs and paws white.
Step 13: Chestnut patches
Colour the ears, the head beside the blaze, the tail and both sides of the body chestnut brown.
Tip Keep the eyes white.
