How to Draw a Chihuahua Sleeping

Step 1: Round apple head

On the left draw a round head, a little wider than tall.

Tip Leave lots of room above it for the ears.

Step 2: Closed eyes

Across the middle of the head draw 2 small U shapes for sleeping eyes.

Tip Leave a gap as wide as one eye between them.

Step 3: Tiny snout

Low on the head draw a small oval snout. Add a black nose on top and a W smile.

Step 4: Huge ears

On each top corner of the head draw a huge tall ear with a rounded tip.

Tip Chihuahua ears are almost as tall as the head.

Step 5: Inside the ears

Inside each ear draw a smaller ear shape, down to the head line.

Tip Keep an even rim all the way round.

Step 6: Front paws

Under the chin draw 2 small round paws with flat bottoms. Add 2 toe lines to each.

Tip The head is resting on the paws.

Step 7: Curled-up body

Start behind the right ear. Draw a round back over and down, then along the bottom. Stop at the paws.

Tip The body is small, about as big as the head.

Step 8: Back leg

Start on the bottom of the body. Draw a big hill up and over. Stop on the back line.

Step 9: Thin tail

From the back draw a thin tail that wraps along the bottom of the body to a small tip.

Tip Rub out the body line inside the tail.

Step 10: Soft cushion

Under the dog draw a long flat cushion with round corners. Add a curved line along its front.

Tip Start at the left paw, go round underneath and stop at the tail.

Step 11: Sleepy zzz

Draw 3 letter Z shapes floating up, each one bigger than the last.

Step 12: Cream and pink

Colour the snout and front paws cream. Colour the insides of the ears pink.

Step 13: Tan fur

Colour the head, the ears, the body and the tail tan.

Step 14: Blue cushion

Colour the cushion blue, all the way to its edges. Your sleeping chihuahua is done!
