How to Draw a Miniature Pinscher
Draw a miniature pinscher 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: the head.
Step 1: The head
In the middle draw a big egg head, wide on top and narrow at the chin.
Tip Leave lots of room above for the tall ears.
Step 2: Big pointed ears
On each top corner draw a very tall ear standing up to a soft point. Add an upside-down V inside.
Tip A miniature pinscher is a tiny dog with huge ears.
Step 3: Two big eyes
High on the head draw 2 eggy eyes, a gap apart. Add big black dots with tiny shines.
Step 4: Snout and nose
From the chin draw an upside-down U under the eyes, back to the chin. Add a black nose.
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 small body
From under each cheek draw a C down for a small slim body. Join them with a sagging line.
Tip Keep the body narrower than the head.
Step 7: The chest patch
Under the chin draw 1 sagging curve. Start on the left side of the body and stop on the right.
Step 8: Front legs
From the chest curve draw 2 slim legs down to the ground. Add a paw line and 2 toes each.
Step 9: Back paws and tail
Draw a little hill paw at each bottom corner. On the right add a short stubby tail poking up.
Step 10: Eyebrow spots and ground
Draw a small oval eyebrow spot above each eye. Then draw a ground line under all 4 paws.
Step 11: Pink tongue
Go over your lines. Colour the tongue pink.
Step 12: Ginger markings
Colour the snout, eyebrow spots, ear insides, chest patch and all 4 paws ginger.
Tip These rusty patches on a black coat are how you spot a miniature pinscher.
Step 13: Colour the fur black
Colour the rest of the head, ears, body, legs and tail black, around the ginger patches. Keep the eyes white.
