How to Draw a Valentine Puppy

Step 1: Wide round head

Near the top of your paper, draw a wide egg on its side for the head.

Tip Leave room below for the heart.

Step 2: Floppy ears

From each top corner of the head, draw a long floppy ear hanging down past the cheek.

Tip Each ear is like a sock with a round toe.

Step 3: Big eyes

In the middle of the head draw 2 big oval eyes. Add black dots and white shines.

Step 4: Snout and nose

Under the eyes draw a wide oval snout. At its top draw a rounded triangle nose and colour it black.

Tip Keep the snout clear of the eyes.

Step 5: Happy smile

From the nose draw a short line down, then a little curve out to each side, like a W.

Step 6: Big heart

Under the chin draw a big heart: 2 round bumps on top and a point at the bottom.

Tip Make the heart almost as wide as the head.

Step 7: Two arms

On each side, start under the ear and under the cheek. Draw 2 arm lines down. Stop at the heart.

Tip The arms go behind the heart.

Step 8: Holding paws

At the end of each arm draw a round paw over the edge of the heart. Add 2 toe lines.

Tip Rub out the heart line inside each paw.

Step 9: Body and ground

Rule a ground line. From under each ear draw a long curve down to the ground, outside the arm.

Tip Leave a gap between the arm and the body line.

Step 10: Back paws

At each bottom corner of the body draw a hill paw on the ground. Add 2 toe lines.

Step 11: Wagging tail

Start low on the right side of the body. Draw a short thick tail curving up to a round tip.

Step 12: Red heart

Colour the heart red, around the 2 paws.

Step 13: Tan fur

Colour the head, arms, body, paws and tail tan. Leave the snout and the eyes white.

Step 14: Brown ears

Go over your lines. Colour the 2 floppy ears brown.
