20 steps · Tricky · about 15 min

Draw a dog walker in 20 steps, about 15 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: the head.

Step 1: The head
Near the top right, draw an egg head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip The dog will walk on the left.
Step 2: The face
Draw 2 eyes, a nose and a smile. Start on each side, draw a C ear, stop on the head.
Step 3: Baseball cap
Start on the left above the eyes. Draw a cap over the top, stop on the right. Add a visor.
Step 4: Neck and T-shirt
Start under the chin with 2 neck lines. Draw a T-shirt with short sleeves, ending at the other neck line.
Step 5: Arms and fists
Start at the left sleeve. Draw an arm reaching down and out, stop at a fist. The right arm hangs.
Tip Add a fist on the right wrist too. The left fist holds the leash.
Step 6: Shorts, legs, sneakers
Start at the T-shirt hem and draw shorts. Draw 2 legs down, stop above the ground. Add sneakers and ground.
Step 7: Dog head
On the left draw a wide soft dog head with round cheeks and a flat top, above the ground.
Tip Leave room under the head for the chest and legs.
Step 8: Floppy ears
Hang a big floppy ear over the right side of the head. Add a small ear on the left.
Tip Rub out the head line inside the big ear.
Step 9: Dog eyes
On the middle of the dog head, a little to the left, draw 2 big oval eyes with black dots.
Tip Leave a tiny white shine in each eye.
Step 10: Snout and smile
Draw a snout poking past the left cheek. Add a black nose. Start a smile under it, stop inside the snout.
Tip Rub out the head line inside the snout.
Step 11: Long back
Start at the big ear. Draw a long back with a dip, curl round the bottom, stop below chin level.
Step 12: Chest and front leg
Start under the chin. Draw a round chest and a leg down to a plump paw, then back up.
Tip The leg gets thinner near the paw.
Step 13: Tummy and back leg
From the front leg draw the tummy. Curve down into a back leg and paw, up to the bottom.
Step 14: Far legs
Draw 1 more leg peeking out in front of each leg, with its paw on the ground.
Tip Leave a gap of ground between the front legs and the back legs.
Step 15: Tail and collar
On the bottom draw a short tail pointing up. Draw 2 collar lines from the back down to the cheek.
Step 16: The leash
Start at the left fist. Draw a curved leash over the dog's back, stop at the top of the collar.
Step 17: Red cap, navy shorts
Go over your lines. Colour the cap, T-shirt and collar red, and the shorts navy.
Step 18: Cream snout
Colour the dog's snout cream.
Step 19: Brown dog
Colour the dog brown, around the snout and collar. Leave the eyes white.
Step 20: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour the face, neck, ears, arms and legs peach, with pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Done!
