Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Okay, are you ready or not? Start with four circles, one for the head, one for the chest, one for the butt, and one for the tail. Draw guide lines on the face and then connect the shapes with the neck and leg lines.
Step 2
Draw the ears and then use the facial guides to draw the eye shape and then the muzzle shape.
Step 3
As you can see, you will start out sketching Akita’s face like eyebrows, nose, mouth and tongue. Once you’re done, you’ll start outlining the bouncy hairlines and then start sketching the back of the head and neck.
Step 4
Now you will outline the chest and then add the fur details. Draw the lining for the front legs and the bottom of the chest.
Step 5
Finish shaping the legs and then the feet. Draw Akita’s belly and then its hind legs. Outline the detail of the dog’s body hair as you see here and then move on to the next step.
Step 6
You’ve come to step four and as you can see, you’ve come a long way. I want you to sketch the curls of the puffy tail and then continue drawing the hind legs and all the paws. Sketch the hair marks on his body and then move on to the next step.
Step 7
This is your final drawing step and all you have to do now is outline the tail and the rest of the hind legs. Erase all the principles and shapes that you drew in step one and see how your line art looks.
Step 8
Here’s what your Akita will look like when you’re done. Choose the color and shade for your Japanese dog. I hope you enjoyed this lesson on “how to draw an Akita dog step by step”
