How to Draw a Dog Eating

14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw a dog eating in 14 easy steps, about 11 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: big soft head.

Step 1: Big soft head
On the left draw a big soft head, wider than tall, tipping down a little to the left.
Tip Leave room under it for the bowl, and on the right for the body.
Step 2: Floppy ears
Draw a long floppy ear down the right side of the head. A small ear peeks out on the left.
Tip Rub out the head line inside the big ear.
Step 3: Big eyes
Above the middle of the head draw 2 oval eyes with black dots. Leave a white shine in each.
Step 4: Snout and smile
Low on the left draw a snout poking past the head. From its black nose, draw down into a w.
Tip Rub out the head line inside the snout.
Step 5: Food bowl
Draw a ground line. Under the snout draw a bowl, wider at the bottom, with a band near the top.
Step 6: Kibble and bone
Start left on the rim. Draw a bumpy kibble heap and stop on the right. Add a bone below.
Tip The snout dips into the food, so the bumps hide behind it.
Step 7: Long back
Start behind the big ear. Draw a long back rising to a round bottom. Stop above the ground.
Step 8: Front leg
From under the ear draw a leg down to a plump paw with 2 toes, then back up.
Tip The leg gets thinner near the paw.
Step 9: Tummy and back leg
From the front leg draw the tummy. Then a round thigh down to a paw and up to the bottom.
Tip The back leg bends just above the paw.
Step 10: Far legs
Under the tummy draw 2 more legs peeking out behind, each with a paw and 1 toe.
Step 11: Wagging tail
From the top of the bottom draw a tail curving up to a round tip. Add 2 wag marks.
Step 12: Cream and tan
Colour the snout cream. Colour the dog tan around it, but not the ears. Leave the eyes white.
Step 13: Brown ears and kibble
Colour both ears and the kibble brown.
Step 14: Red bowl
Colour the bowl red, around the bone. Leave the bone white.
