How to Draw a Xolo Dog

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a xolo dog 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: big head.

Step 1: Big head
Near the top, draw a big egg head: wide at the top and a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Make it big: almost half the dog. Leave room above for tall ears.
Step 2: Huge bat ears
From each top corner, draw a huge ear straight up to a rounded point, and back down to the head.
Tip A xolo's ears are as tall as its face. Add a smaller pointed shape inside each ear.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the middle of the head, draw 2 big round eyes, 1 eye apart, with black dots and a shine.
Step 4: Snout and nose
Right under the eyes, draw an oval snout inside the head. Sit a black triangle nose on top.
Step 5: Smile and tongue
From the nose, draw a line down to a w, stopping inside the snout. Hang a U tongue under it.
Step 6: Tuft of hair
On top of the head, between the ears, draw a little tuft: 3 soft bumps, the middle one tallest.
Tip A xolo has no fur, just this little tuft.
Step 7: Slim body
Rule the ground. From under each cheek, draw a gentle C down to the ground for the body.
Tip A xolo is slim: keep the body narrower than the head.
Step 8: Long front legs
Start under the chin. Draw a long thin leg down to a round paw, then back up to the middle.
Tip The 2 legs meet in a little arch on the chest. Add 2 toe lines on each paw.
Step 9: Back paws
On each side, draw a little hill paw on the ground at the bottom corner of the body.
Tip Add 2 toe lines on each paw.
Step 10: Long thin tail
From the right hip, draw a long thin tail curving up to a point, then back down to the hip.
Tip Keep it thin like a whip, a little fatter at the hip.
Step 11: Peach and pink
Colour the inside of the 2 ears peach. Colour the tongue pink.
Tip Light colours go first.
Step 12: Tan tuft, grey snout
Colour the tuft of hair tan. Colour the snout light grey, around the nose and tongue.
Step 13: Dark grey skin
Colour the head, ears, body, legs, paws and tail dark grey. Leave the eyes white. Your xolo is done!
