    Hints, Tips and Tricks

    Sketch the basic shape of the puppy

    The first step in creating a realistic and accurate drawing of a puppy is to sketch the basic shape of the puppy. To start, draw an oval for the body of the puppy. The oval should be proportionate to the size of the puppy you are drawing and should be slightly elongated.

    Determine the size of the puppy

    Add shading and highlights

    Once you have your lines, it’s time to add shading and highlights to your puppy drawing. Use the pencil to draw shadows and highlights to give your puppy’s features more depth and realism. Try to use a range of light and dark shades to make your drawing look more natural and lifelike. Pay special attention to areas such as the eyes and the fur to make the puppy look real. Add some texture to the fur using small lines and make sure to blend them together.

    Final Thoughts
