Step 1: Dogs are famously known as "man's best friend." Begin your happy dog companion by drawing an ellipse for its snout.
Step 2: Add a half circle on top of the ellipse to form the rest of the dog's head.
Step 3: Add a larger elliptical loop to the bottom of the snout ellipse you drew in step 1.
Step 4: Draw the two front legs as gradually converging lines that join together in a rounded lobe.
Step 5: Draw each back leg as a curved line running from the bottom right and left of the dog's body.
Step 6: Add the dog's flappy ears as elongated loops on the sides of the dog's head.
Step 7: Draw the dog's long tail as two curved lines that converge in a point. When dogs are happy they wag their tails.
Step 8: Draw the dog's eyes as half-ovals resting on the top of the snout. Shade the eyes but remember to leave a small white dot at the top to show reflection.
Step 9: Draw the dog's nose as a shaded chevron shape at the top of the snout. Beneath it, draw an upward arching curve for the dog's mouth.
