How To Draw a dog golden lab puppy step by step – Pencil sketch of dog
How To Draw a dog golden lab puppy with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1:
Draw a large circle as the path for the Labrador retriever’s head. First make four small marks to represent the height and width of the circle. Then connect the marks with curved lines to create the shape of the circle. Make a light sketch at first to make it easier to erase if you make a mistake. If you have trouble drawing a circle, draw the outline of a cup, bowl, or any other object with a rounded edge. For more detailed instructions on different ways to draw circles, check out this tutorial: Four Simple Ways to Draw Circles.
Step 2:
Draw a long, curved, horizontal line across the circle to help you place the Labrador retriever’s facial features later on. On top of the horizontal line, near the left side, draw a vertical, curved, and shorter line for the other guide.
Step 3:
Draw a small circle on the bottom, left side to guide the Labrador retriever’s muzzle. Use the four-mark technique to draw this circle. Place it just below the horizontal guide. The bottom, left side of this circle should be outside the edge of the big circle.
Step 4:
Add a guide to the dog’s first ear by drawing a long vertical line on the right side. At the top, draw a diagonal slope to the right. Pay attention to the length of these lines. Draw a line at the bottom connecting the first two to form a large triangle and complete the guide for the Labrador retriever’s ears.
Step 5:
On the left side, draw a long, angled line as a guide for the Lab’s other ear. The tip blocks most of this ear, so don’t draw the entire triangle guide. Step 6: Draw a few short lines below the head to serve as a guide for a bit of the dog’s neck.
Step 6:
Draw a few short lines below the head to guide a bit of the dog’s neck.
That’s it for the tutorial! From this point on, use the pencil with more emphasis for a clearer drawing.
Step 7:
Lightly outline the dog’s eyes inside the head into two small circles. The eyes should be on the horizontal directional line and on either side of the vertical directional line. Once you have determined the correct position and size of the Labrador retriever’s eyes, darken the lines. The left eye should be slightly smaller than the right eye because the head is slightly turned.
As you darken the right eye, make the edges longer and more pointed. For the left eye, only the right corner of the eye should be highlighted due to the way the dog’s head is turned. Add a curved line above and below each eye for more detail. Divide these curves into short strokes for a fur-like texture.
Step 8:
Inside each dog’s eyes, draw a small circle to represent the glare. You can add a tiny glare circle inside the right eye for more detail. Inside each eye, draw a small circle and fill them in for the pupil. Don’t overlap the small glare circles when you shade the pupils. Use a dark value for the pupil but do not press the pencil too hard, or you may tear the paper.
Draw a few more lines inside each eye to emphasize the shape of the eyeball. Draw a few curved lines inside each eye, near the bottom edge. The left eye and the right eyeball are narrower due to the way the head is rotated. Draw a series of curved lines made up of short strokes above each eye to create the Labrador retriever’s bushy eyebrows.
Step 9:
Inside the circular path for Lab’s muzzle, lightly draw a small oval for the nose. Place this oval on the left side, just above the edge of the circle that is the guide for the head. Once you get the right size and position of the oval, darken the top edge first. Make lines for the edges of the oval curve to point inward to create the nostrils. Make the ends of the curves darker and thicker to accentuate the dog’s nostrils.
Add a vertical line at the bottom to bisect the bottom of the Labrador retriever’s nose. The right nostril should be slightly larger than the left one due to the viewing angle. Don’t make the nostrils too big, or your dog may start to look like a pig! Use short strokes when you darken the bottom edge of the nose.
Step 10:
Add the top of the Labrador retriever’s muzzle by first drawing a small line under the nose. Follow the bottom edge of the original large circle and draw the right part of the upper lip as a wavy line. The lip should end inside the original small circle. On the left, draw a smaller line for the rest of the upper lip. Curve the left line upwards to create the bottom edge of the left upper lip. Use the left edge of the original small circle as a guide to shape the retriever’s muzzle. Darken the top left part of the original small circle above the nose to complete the top of the muzzle.
Step 11:
Draw the lower lip/chin under the mouth using a series of curved lines. Make the chin stay in the shape of the original small circle. Don’t draw it too low. Add long, curved lines on the sides for the Labrador retriever’s lower lip. The entire shape of the snout should not extend beyond the original small circle too much.
Step 12:
Use the large triangle on the right as a guide to draw the Labrador retriever’s first ear. Follow the basic path of the tutorial but use short strokes as you darken it for a fur-like texture. Make the bottom part of the ear wavy and wider than the guide. Add a few short strokes in the upper left to create a fur fold at the dog’s ears.
Step 13:
Use the main circle as a guide to draw the rest of the dog’s head. Follow the base line of the circle but make the top flatter as you darken the lines. Use short strokes along the line to create a fur-like texture. Make the left side of the tip narrower than the edge of the original circle. The line right next to the eye should protrude slightly for more structure. Use short strokes to darken the lines under the head and slightly create the neck of the Labrador retriever.
Step 14:
Use the left corner line as a guide to draw the retriever’s other ear. Draw a long, vertical line at the top made up of short strokes for the base of the ear. Then follow the guide’s path but make the curves more curved. The bottom end of the dog’s ears should be thin and protrude slightly beyond the guide.
Step 15:
Draw a series of short strokes in the shape of the head to accentuate the Labrador retriever’s coat. Use short strokes above the eyes for the eyebrows to make the face more expressive. Add some under the eyes and on the sides of the face for more bone structure. Don’t think too much about adding strokes; they are just short lines arranged in different shapes. Draw some short strokes on the right side, below the ears, to make the fur on the dog’s neck. Add some short strokes under the muzzle to create vertical lines for the loose skin on the throat.
Step 16:
For a cleaner look, remove as much of the original guide lines as possible. Don’t worry about deleting all the instructions. It’s okay to leave a number behind. Redraw any final outlines that you may have accidentally erased.
Step 17:
Final step: Add some shadows to your Labrador retriever drawing for more details. Shade the dog’s eyes using a value slightly brighter than the pupil. Use an average value for the nose too. Use a lighter value at the tip to create a stripe to show off the shine. If desired, you can stop shading behind the nose for the white Labrador. For more detailed instructions on how to shade, check out this tutorial: How to Shade.
Shade the rest of the hound’s head using a value slightly lighter than the nose. Separate the individual strokes slightly so that the white of the paper goes through and emphasizes the fur-like texture. When you’re shading, use strokes that follow the general direction of the dog’s fur. Above the eyes, the strokes should curve to the sides from the center. This process can be very time consuming, so be patient and take breaks. The strokes on the dog’s muzzle should start at the nose and radiate to the sides. Use a darker value for the top of the muzzle below the nose.

How to draw a Dalmatian Dog Step by Step | Easy dog drawing
How to draw a Dalmatian Dog with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Let’s start creating a dog from its skeleton. Use simple and barely visible lines to depict the head, chest, and pelvis. Use the same simple lines to create the spine, tail, and legs. Note that this tutorial on how to draw a realistic dog starts out like our simpler tutorial.
Step 2
Now, using a few lines of light, create the outline of the muzzle and the hanging ears. As always, we remind you that we are giving the best and most classic example. You can modify your drawing by changing certain details on your artwork.
Step 3
Now contour the forelimbs with rough and loose lines. In the future, we will give them a more detailed and complete view. Now, we need to position the front leg in the most correct way, for the correct volume.
Step 4
Now, use a few smooth lines to create the top and bottom edges of the body. Note that the torso should taper slightly at the abdomen. Next, use light lines to outline the tail. If you want to check the accuracy and proportionality of your sketch, look at it in the mirror.
Step 5
Now let’s move on to the real dog’s hind legs, create them with the help of light lines in the same way as we did a little bit earlier with the front legs. The hind legs should be significantly thicker at the top and tapering towards the middle.
Step 6
It’s time to get down to the details and make the realistic dog drawing really convincing. Starting with the eyes, outline them into two almond-shaped geometric shapes. The eyes should be slightly above the center of the head shadow. Draw a nose just below the eye. In one of the previous tutorials, we talked about how to draw a dog’s nose in detail.
Step 7
Draw the mouth just below the nose. First, draw the upper jaw, then draw the lower jaw. By adding creases around the muzzle, as in our example, you will make your sketch more realistic and convincing. If you want to learn more about the process of drawing a dog’s head, visit our article on how to draw a dog’s face.
Step 8
Now it’s time to add some detail to the front legs. Using darker lines, carefully draw the outlines of the front legs. When creating the details of the forelegs, note the contours of the muscles and bones under the skin. Draw short toes and claws. To make the dog look more realistic, add folds on the neck like in our example.
Step 9
Now do the same with the hind legs, i.e., carefully draw them with sharper and darker lines. Draw the toes and claws. As a reminder, you can add some volume to your dog sketch by making the near lines darker than the farther lines. We talked about this in our article on aerial views.
Step 10
Add some finishing touches. For example, we made the tail more detailed and the ears darker. Alternatively, you can add more pleats or paint some interesting textures on the bodice.
Step 11
Remove all unnecessary principles from your sketch. Give the necessary lines a little more tonality. Compare your drawing with our example, look at it in the mirror and move away from it to find errors and if they have been made, it’s time to correct them.
Step 13
Now it’s time to make your artwork truly three-dimensional and convincing. To do this, you need to use stroke and shading, as shown in our example. Start from the darkest areas, gradually working towards the lighter areas. Darken the eyes, leaving small highlights in them.

How to draw a Dog Step by Step | Easy Dog Drawing for kids and Beginners
How to draw a Dog with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start sketching your dog by drawing an oval. This will become the muzzle or muzzle of the cartoon dog. Draw another, smaller, oval inside it to form the nose. Draw a wide, round “W” shape below the nose to form the mouth.
Step 2
Use large and inverted “U” shaped lines to create points around the eyes. Use a curved line to enclose a curved shape at the top of each point. They represent the dog’s eyebrows.
Step 3
Draw a small oval inside a larger oval in each point. These are the dog’s eyes.
Step 4
Draw the dog’s ears, erasing the old lines if necessary. For the proximal ears, draw a straight line at the top and a large “U” shaped line for the sides and bottom of the ear. Decorate this ear with a point in the middle.
On the opposite side, outline the ear with a curved line. Use another curved line to outline the collar around the dog’s neck.
Step 5
Outline the dog’s body using two long, curved lines. One should come from the front of the neck, the other from the back.
Step 6
Draw the dog’s first paw. Extend a pair of straight lines down from the body. At the bottom, leave one of the curves and double itself. This forms the round foot and also encloses the foot at the bottom. Detail the toes with a few short lines.
Step 7
Draw the hind legs. Extend two curved lines from the bottom. At the bottom, one should spiral around and form the legs as before. Detail the toe with short lines. Erase the lines of the body from the top of the legs if needed.
Step 8
Draw the remaining pins. Use pairs of lines or curves for each pair. At the bottom, let one leg bend to form the leg. Detail the toe with short lines.
Step 9
Complete your dog drawing sketch for kids by drawing its tail. Extend two curved lines and let them meet at a sharp point. Draw a point on the dog’s back using a curved line.
Step 10
Color your dog cartoon. In our illustration, he is white with brown spots. Other colors may include black, cream, fawn or blue, a shade of gray.

Cute dog drawing:How to draw a dog for kids Step by step
Cute dog drawing:How to draw a dog for kids easy with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids .
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Draw an irregular circle to outline the shape of the dog’s head.
Emphasize both sides of its face when drawing the head to form chubby cheeks. This will definitely make your dog look more adorable!
Make sure that the outline of your dog’s face is drawn in the upper part of the paper. This ensures that there will be enough space at the bottom for its body.
Step 2
Draw the outline of the dog’s body just below its head. As you can see in the illustration, its body is positioned to the side because the dog is looking towards its left side.
You can choose to follow the figure in the illustration exactly or position the dog any way you like!
Step 3
Draw a long and narrow rectangle across the dog’s neck to create the collar. Don’t forget to embellish the collar with a dangling bauble at the bottom!
Feel free to style and design the collar any way you want! You can add textures on the collar itself or customize the ornament that hangs down from the collar.
Step 4
Draw the dog’s front paw with a paw just below its chest. Don’t forget to add three toes on each foot!
You can create the feet by drawing separate curves to form the toes.
Step 5
Now that we have successfully drawn the dog’s front paws, it’s time to draw the front paws at the back to complete the set of legs.
Create flexed hind legs by drawing a curved line towards the bottom of the dog’s back. Then, draw a foot with three toes just below the foot.
Since the dog is facing sideways, only one hind leg can be seen as shown in the illustration.
Step 6
Shape your dog’s tail by drawing a narrow, curved line with a tapered end. Draw the outline of the tail upwards to make your dog appear happy and interested.
In the illustration we drew a pointed tail, but you can certainly draw a hairy tail or any shape or form of tail you like.
Step 7
Continue by drawing an ear on each side of the dog’s face. We think large drooping or folded ears look best, as shown in the illustration.
However, don’t hesitate to draw the ear any way you want, whether it’s standing upright or cropped.
Remember, the texture of a dog’s ears largely depends on the breed and the emotions they’re feeling.
Step 8
On the bottom part of the face, draw an upside down triangle to outline the dog’s nose.
Then, draw two curved lines upwards connecting to create the lip line. Now, to structure the mouth, draw a V-shaped curve just below the lips. Don’t forget to add a curve inside the mouth to create the tongue!
Step 9
Complete your drawing by perfecting your dog’s facial features.
Draw two vertical ovals above its nose to outline the eyes. Then draw two small circles inside the eyes. Shade the entire eye except for the small circles.
These two little circles with no ghosting will act as the “glitters” in your dog’s eyes, adding a more dramatic effect to his facial expressions.
Now comes the most fun part — choose and color your dog drawing!
The dog’s coat has 4 basic colors: black, white, brown and red. However, these primary colors exist in a variety of shades, so so does the dog’s coat color.
This gives you many color options to choose from when coloring your dog drawing.

How to draw a cute dog with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by drawing a circle for the head. Don’t worry about a perfect bust. Basic shapes like circles, squares, and triangles just make it easy to draw your character’s appearance.
Step 2
Now draw a vertical line and a horizontal line through the center of the head. The line will act as a guide when placing the eyes and nose on the head.
Draw a long oval on each side of the head. Start on the inside of your head so the dog’s shoulders overlap slightly.
Use as directed, placing eyes, nose and mouth on head. Draw details like eyebrows, nose and mouth to complete the head. You may also want to draw some lines just above the nose to indicate the muzzle.
Step 3
Your dog’s body will have a slightly different shape than the head. Instead of a circle, draw a shape similar to a pea or potato. Can make it smaller than the first picture, it will be cuter
Step 4
For the hind legs, draw a large oval in the bottom corner of the body. Less than an inch from the hind legs, draw long thin ovals for the front legs.
Step 5
Draw small ovals that slightly overlap the bottom of the legs. They will form the feet.
Step 6
Draw two long, winding lines starting from the lowest point on the hindquarters. Join the two lines together at one point to complete the tail.
Step 7
Attach the body to the head using two winding lines. This is your dog’s neck.
Step 8
Next is to complete the model of the dog
Step 9
Finally complete the work by coloring the cartoon dog.
Good luck with your work!

How to draw a cute Puppy Step by Step
How to draw a cute Puppy easy with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. How to draw a dog for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
:
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
For the first step, here is my version, how I changed the normal puppy into a cute puppy version. As I said in the cute bunnies tutorial, puppies are also cute in reality, so it’s just an easier drawing.
Step 2
Maybe dogs when grown up are not so cute, or beautiful, but when they are puppies, they are really cute, which species is not there. Types of dogs really are many, but here are some examples for you. 🙂
Step 3
Here are some pose examples for you guys! Puppies are so cute, never mind what they do, so it’s just some examples. If you watch videos of puppies or real puppies, they will do a lot of things and pose when they are really cute, so you can come across a lot of inspiration about them.
Step 4
And for the last step, here are some examples of puppy emotions. They are always having fun, so most of the time, if they are emotional, they are always playful and playful.
Step 5
To start drawing the puppy, the first step is to draw the puppy’s baselines. It will be of great help in the future.
Step 6
So let’s get it started! Draw the base shape of the puppy’s head and ears. And now, after that, draw the basic form of the eyes.
Step 7
The next step is the basic form of the nose and mouth. Now draw the bottom of the mouth, and some lines for the ears as well.
Step 8
Complete the eye part with the pupil, and complete the ear part. Then draw the base form of the tongue.
Step 9
Fluffy part! Draw fur lines on the puppy’s head. And finish the tongue, and draw some small lines on his/her head.
Step 10
And here is the finished step of the puppy head drawing, paint patches of color on her/his fur. In this tutorial, the main puppy is a German Shepherd, so its color patches will be black.
Step 11
And here we are in the second part of the tutorial, drawing the base form of the puppy’s body.
Step 12
Now, the next step is the lines, what separates the body parts from each other, such as the legs from the main body.
Step 13
Draw the toes, and the small lines of the main body and legs too. And now, complete the lines of the base form with some small lines.
Step 14
And of course, cute little pups also have little paws, these are always important, when you draw cute little animals. 😉
Step 15
As above, here we also need to draw the matching arrays. This is the final part of the puppy drawing.
Step 16
And now this is your cute puppy, and then the only thing, what you need to do, color her/him! Well done guys!
