Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Puppy. There are even two different lessons to choose from!
Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, of course, but a puppy is not just a scaled down version of a full-grown dog. The head needs to be on the large size, and the legs need to be a little short. The combination gives the impression of a body they have yet to grow into, which is true for almost any baby animal (or human!) for that matter.
