Step-by-step instructions for children on drawing a dog with a pencil

What does it take to draw a dog with a pencil? You need to prepare the following:

  • paper;
  • eraser;
  • pencil.

And, of course, you need a desire to draw, otherwise a beautiful drawing will not work.

It is worth noting that it is much more convenient to draw a dog with pencils than with paints or felt-tip pens. But before proceeding directly to the process, it is necessary to deal with their hardness. Soft pencils are used mainly for shading, while hard pencils are used for outlines.

Instruction 1: how to draw a sitting dog in profile

To draw a seated dog in profile with a pencil step by step, you can use the instructions for beginners.

  1. It is better to start drawing a dog from the nose. To do this, you need to depict two slightly curved lines located parallel to each other and connected to each other at the top, as in the photo.
  2. By extending the top line and bending it, you can get the head and ear of the dog.
  3. Then you need to draw another curved line with a pencil. It starts from the ear and goes down. This is the back of the dog.
  4. Now you need to draw the outline of the lower jaw, chest and abdomen in the form of another curved line extending from the nose downward.
  5. Next, you need to apply two shapes: a semicircle and an arc. They should be drawn in place of the outer parts of the front and back legs. At the same stage, you should draw a tongue.
  6. Then you can continue to depict the dog's paws.
  7. Draw another limb near the front paw. Don't forget about the tail.
  8. The drawing should be completed by showing the details. You need to draw a nose, eyes, toes.

It turned out to be such an interesting dog. Each step is shown in detail in the photo.

Instruction 2: how to draw a purebred dog

Step by step, you can draw any breed of dog with a pencil. This instruction is suitable even for children.

  1. First you need to draw two ovals. The smaller one is the head, the larger one is the body of the dog. They are connected by two curved lines. This is the neck of an animal.
  2. From the smaller oval, you need to draw the jaw in the form of two arcs, as in the photo. At the back of the large oval, another oval must be drawn. This will be the top of the dog's hind legs. Draw a tail at the back. It can be of any shape and length.
  3. From the upper part of the paw, you need to draw the lower part of it, completing the limb. The front paw should be depicted in front. An ear runs along the neck, from a smaller oval that serves as a head to a larger one that protrudes as a body. You can draw it in absolutely any shape, at the discretion of the artist.
  4. At the final stage, it remains only to draw the missing limbs, erase the extra lines with an eraser and pay attention to the details. It is necessary to depict the eyes, nose, tongue, and also paint over the ear, which will make the drawing more beautiful.

The dog is ready. By changing the shape of the mouth, tail and other details, according to this scheme, you can draw dogs of different breeds.

Riddle:
I lay down across the porch
Our shaggy castle.
But both at night and during the day
Strangers will not be allowed into the house.


As you guessed correctly, today we will learn to draw a dog. You will draw with a simple pencil and in stages.
Introductory conversation.
There is different information about when exactly the dog was domesticated by man, 15 or 20 thousand years ago, however, despite the controversy, experts agree that the dog was the first domesticated animal.
Dogs are known for their learning abilities, love of play, social behavior.
Fairy tale "LIKE A DOG FOR A FRIEND"
A long time ago, there was a dog in the forest. Alone alone. She was bored. The dog wanted to find a friend.
Such a friend who would not be afraid of anyone.
A dog met a hare in the forest and said to him:
- Come on, bunny, be friends with you, live together!
- Come on, - the bunny agreed.
In the evening they found a place to sleep and went to bed. At night, a mouse ran past them, the dog heard a rustle and as it jumped up, it barked loudly. The hare woke up in fright, his ears tremble with fear.
- Why bark? - says the dog. - If the wolf hears it, it will come here and eat us.
This is an unimportant friend, thought the dog. “He’s afraid of the wolf. But the wolf is probably not afraid of anyone. " In the morning the dog said goodbye to the hare and went to look for the wolf. I met him in a remote ravine and said:
- Come on, wolf, be friends with you, live together!
- Well! - the wolf answers. - It will be more fun together.
They went to bed at night. The frog was jumping by, the dog heard how it jumped up, how it barked loudly. The wolf woke up in fright and let's scold the dog:
- Oh, you are so-so-so-so! The bear will hear your barking, come here and tear us apart.
And the wolf is afraid, thought the dog. "I'd better make friends with the bear." She went to the bear:
- Bear-hero, let's be friends, live together!
“Okay,” the bear says. - Send me to my den.
And at night the dog heard how it was crawling past the den, jumped up and barked. The bear got scared and well, scold the dog:
- Stop doing that! A man will come and take the skins off us.
“Gee! - the dog thinks. "And this one turned out to be cowardly." She ran away from the bear and went to the man:
- Man, let's be friends, live together!
The man agreed, fed the dog, built a warm kennel for it near his hut. At night, the dog barks, guards the house. And the person does not scold her for this - he says thanks. Since then, the dog and the man have lived together.

Let's try to draw a dog together in stages with a simple pencil. The last step is to color in the dog's drawing with crayons or paints.
Step-by-step job description
1.First you need to draw the basic outlines of the dog
Draw a dog on the whole sheet of paper, it will be easier for you to draw small details and a large picture always looks more impressive than a small one. First of all, we draw the body and the head, and the one that will be the head of the dog is a little smaller in the diameter of the lower one.


2. The general outline of the dog appears in the figure.
Draw the joint markings for the paw and the lower parts of the three paws, since the fourth paw will not be visible. Connect the paws with lines, exactly as in my drawing, and connect the oval of the body and head of the dog. All these shapes are easy to draw, but it is very important to place them accurately. The proportions of the dog, and the whole drawing as a whole, will depend on this in the future. Check again the exact location of these contours and move on to the next step.
In this step, you only need to draw the general outline of the body, legs and head of the dog. This may not be difficult to do, but be extremely careful. This contour will determine how the entire drawing of the dog will look. You can draw this path several times, removing the imprecise lines. Start tracing from the head and down the back to the paws.


3.Ears, nose, eyes and tail appear on the drawing of the dog.
Draw the dog's nose. From it, draw a small line and draw the sinuous lines of the dog's mouth (mouth). Connect these lines with another chin line. The ears and tail of the dog, I think, you will draw yourself, without comment.



4 the drawing of the dog is coming to an end, adding details
The construction lines now need to be removed from the drawing. Draw on part of the fourth paw, claws and outline the dog's fur.





Physical education
We tried to paint.
We tried to paint.
It was hard not to get tired.
We will rest a little,
Let's start drawing again.
(The hands were stroked, shaken, kneaded.)
5. The final step of the drawing.
The last stage of any drawing is the easiest and most interesting. At this stage, the dog will already be in the picture "in full glory". It is not difficult to slightly tweak the drawing, highlighting the dog's hair with sharp pencil strokes. Choose the color you want and paint with crayons or watercolors.



So our lesson ends, you did a very good job today, I hope that you have learned a lot of interesting things: you have got wonderful drawings, individual, peculiar. This can be seen at the exhibition of your work. Well done! Thank!




IMPORTANT ADVICE (Sergey Mikhalkov)
You can't raise puppies
By screaming and kicking.
A puppy raised by a kick
Will not be a devoted puppy.
After a rough kick
Try to call a puppy!

DEPENDS ON GOOD HANDS (S. Mikhalkov)
There are many dogs in the world
And on the chain and just like that.
Service dogs - border,
Ordinary yard balls,
And young shy mongrels,
That they love to yapping from under the benches,
And those pampered lapdogs
Whose nose is snub, and whose voice is thin,
And no longer good for anything -
Stray dogs are always hungry.
Ready to fight at any moment
Dogs are brawlers and bully.
Proud and touchy dogs
They quietly doze on the rapids.
And the sweet tooth-sycophants
Everything is licked from any dish.
Among dogs of any breed
There are both handsome and ugly.
There are giants - these are Great Danes!
Short legged bulldogs,
And wire-haired terriers
Some are black, others are gray,
And it's a shame to look at others:
So overgrown that the eyes are not visible!
Canine properties are known to all:
And mind, and sensitivity and heroism,
Love and loyalty and deceit
And disgusting lordship.
And from a half-word obedience,
And this is all - from education!
Lazy well-fed mistress
And the button-dachshund is lazy!
Fearless border guard - warrior,
And the dog Ruslan is worthy of him!
The owner of the dog is a fist and a curmudgeon
To match him a mongrel burr!
No wonder the dog bites those
Whoever throws a stone at her in vain.
But if someone is friends with a dog,
That the dog serves faithfully!
But a faithful dog is a good friend
Depends on good hands.

PUPPY (S. Mikhalkov)
I knocked off my feet today -
My puppy is missing.
I called him for two hours
I was waiting for him for two hours,
I did not sit down for lessons
And she could not dine.
This morning
Very early
The puppy jumped off the couch,
I began to walk around the rooms,
Jump,
Bark,
Wake everyone up.
He saw a blanket -
There was nothing to cover.
He looked into the closet -
I turned the jug with honey.
He tore up poems from dad,
I fell to the floor from the stairs,
I got into the glue with my front paw,
I barely got out
And disappeared ...
Maybe it was stolen
They took me away on a rope
They gave me a new name,
Guard the house
Forced?
Maybe he's in a dense forest
Under a bush sits prickly,
Lost my way
Looking for a home
Wet, poor, in the rain?
I didn't know what to do.
Mother said:
- Let's wait.
I grieved for two hours
I did not take books in my hands,
Didn't draw anything
I sat and waited.
Suddenly
Some scary beast
Opens the door with his paw
Jumps over the threshold ...
Who is this?
My puppy.
What happened,
If immediately
Didn't I recognize the puppy?
The nose is swollen, the eyes are not visible,
The cheek is twisted
And digging like a needle
A bee buzzes on its tail.
Mother said: - Close the door!
A swarm of bees is flying towards us.
All wrapped up
In the bed
My puppy lies in a layer
And wags just barely
Bandaged tail.
I don't run to the doctor -
I treat him myself.
I wish you all good luck and creative success!

A dog is the most popular and beloved animal by many, children especially love them. But they like puppies more - small, affectionate and so unintelligent. How about spending time with your child in a pleasant and useful way? Surely he will really like drawing a dog or a little cute puppy?

Dog watercolor for New Year

Before the New Year 2018, you should definitely learn how to draw a dog, because such a pet becomes a symbol of the next 12 months. When choosing a dog for drawing, you should give preference to the cutest and most plush one, so that there is a great desire to get a finished New Year's picture. Let's add a funny red cap with a fur insert at the base and a small bubo to it.

Required materials for drawing a dog:

  • a sheet of paper (preferably watercolor);
  • simple HB pencil and eraser;
  • watercolor;
  • brushes;
  • palette and glass of water.

Stages of drawing a New Year's dog:

1. Any animal or cartoon character should start drawing from the head. To depict a dog, as a symbol of 2018, a small oval should be drawn. We will add one triangle to it on each side. We connect the shapes with an arc and get a sketch of the pet's head.

2. Draw the semi-oval to the head to get the front part of the body. We will add legs to it, which will look like triangles. Draw in the background a part of the left leg and tail.

3. Let's add some New Year's attributes to the dog's drawing. For example, on the top of the head of a fluffy pet, we will put on a beautiful cap-cap with a cute bubo. We attach a collar with a decorative element to the neck.

4. Remove the auxiliary lines so that you can draw the dog's face. We draw a big nose and small, but such natural eyes. The very contour of the body and head is adjusted so that the dog becomes fluffy and plush in appearance. We will also work on the hat so that it becomes voluminous and wavy on the objects of fur inserts.

5. Paint over the areas of the cap and collar with a decorative element with red and burgundy watercolors.

6. Now let's move on to drawing the fur. Apply a yellow-brown shade of watercolor paint to all areas of the animal. We give the layer time to dry and once again paint over the ears, muzzle, body with paws and tail with a more saturated and darker color.

7. Carefully paint over the nose with black watercolor, and the white areas of the cap with blue. Let's also go over the fur again and create a third coat of paint, where we apply dark brown shades of watercolor mixed with burgundy and reds.

8. Finally, paint over the eyes and shadow under the dog at the base of the picture with black watercolor.

9. The finished watercolor drawing of the dog for the New Year 2018, if desired, is finalized with black liners. For the general contour, 0.7 mm should be selected, but for fine shading - 0.1 mm.

10. We get just such a New Year's illustration, which just asks for a handmade postcard to embellish it! But such a thoroughbred dog looks very natural, picturesque and festive here.

DIY Dalmatian drawing

A Dalmatian puppy in a festive sock is the main topic of this drawing lesson. Therefore, if you want to draw a New Year's drawing, then for animal lovers you can't imagine anything better!

Drawing steps:

01. Let's use simple lines to mark the general shape of the Christmas sock. Let's draw all the curves.

2. Then draw the upper part of the sock, which has a fur insert. You also need to show that the sock is hanging on a fireplace or other piece of furniture. To do this, draw a circle at the top.

3. The toe will be striped. To show this, we draw several lines and draw a patch on the heel.

4. A Dalmatian puppy will look out of the sock. Therefore, at this stage it is very important to draw the correct silhouette of the head and front paws of the animal.

Then we clarify the small details. Since this is a Dalmatian, you should not forget about the specks on his short coat.

5. With a red pencil, we begin to paint individual fragments of the sock.

6. Use other shades of red pencils to add volume to the New Year's sock.

7. For contrast, use green for the sock. We paint with pencils the rest of the sock and patch.

8. We will make the fur insert in the sock light blue. You can walk along the contour with a blue pencil.

9. Now let's paint the Dalmatian puppy itself. To begin with, we will outline the legs, head and muzzle with a black pencil. Then completely paint over the pupils, nose and spots with black. To add volume, use flesh-colored and light brown pencils.

10. We clarify and check all the details in the drawing. This completes the phased drawing of the New Year's drawing with colored pencils, because we have got a nice Dalmatian puppy in a New Year's sock.

Drawing a yellow dog step by step

In anticipation of the New Year 2018, you can already learn how to draw a dog. After all, she will become a symbol for the whole year. Its main color is yellow.

So when choosing colored pencils, you should give preference to exactly shades from yellow to red. Light tones are suitable for the base coat color, while dark tones are suitable for volume and contouring.

Necessary materials:

  • a blank sheet of paper;
  • the pencils;
  • eraser.

Drawing steps:

1. Draw the dog's head in the form of a circle. We deform the contour from the sides.

2. Then draw with a simple pencil the torso of the symbol of 2018. It will consist of the neck, chest, and forelegs.

3. Next, draw the back of the dog and the outline of the hind legs on the sides.

4. At the top we draw two ears in the form of triangles with rounded corners. In the middle of the head, draw a spot of a disproportionate shape, which starts from the top and flows smoothly into the center to the nose.

5. Let's supplement the New Year's drawing of the dog with small details on the body and head. We draw in the middle of each ear the middle in the form of small triangles with rounded corners, but on the muzzle - eyes, nose and mouth.

Also on the legs we will draw several vertical lines to delimit the pads. We clarify the outline and smoothly move on to coloring the picture.

6. First, take a yellow pencil and color the dog's coat on the hind legs and back, on the head and ears. Already with an orange pencil, you can add contour and volume.

7. Paint the middle of the ear with red and burgundy pencils and additionally create volume in the yellow areas of the drawing.

8. Take a black pencil and paint completely the eyes, nose and mouth. Then we create an outline of the whole drawing.

9. Finally, take a red pencil and color in the tongue. In the white areas of the design, you can add a light shade to give a little volume.

10. We get the finished drawing for the New Year 2018 in the form of a yellow dog. But from such a bright picture you can get a wonderful front part of a New Year's greeting card.

Drawing a dog with a pencil - educational lesson with explanation

Lesson for beginners


Probably, since the appearance of "Carlson" Lindgren, all parents know exactly what is needed for the happiness of the whole family. A dog for children! It is for this reason that a year ago we had a sandy-gold lump, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, which was named Gray. This miracle quickly became a family member and everyone's favorite. And that is why, when we decided to find out how to draw a dog with a pencil, the choice fell on the representative of this breed.

The history of the appearance of the "portrait" of Gray

For a week we "ran" after our dog, remembering "Prostokvashino" with a more than prophetic statement about our case: "I ran after her for half a day to take a picture!" But we never got a nice photo. Our tomboy has managed to successfully avoid being imprinted. That tail, then his nose all the time turned out to be closer to the lens. Having suffered, we went another, simpler way. It turned out that it is easy to find a suitable photo similar to our Gray dog \u200b\u200bon the Internet. It is according to him that we can draw a dog in stages.

But while we were looking for "Gray", my child and I saw that the choice of potential models is huge. We could draw a husky with a pencil in stages, or a German shepherd, or even a husky. All these are beautiful, graceful and intelligent dogs. Each of the representatives of their breed has characteristic features inherent only to them, but there are also personal qualities and traits common to all dogs, for which we love them so much and value their friendship. For example, loyalty and the ability to rejoice in the owner, obedience and frankness (they cannot hide their emotions at all).

Already at the initial stages of working on the dog's drawing, when we just looked at the varieties of these pets, we learned that they also differ in temperament, for example, there are choleric people, sanguine people, melancholic and phlegmatic people, we got carried away. We wanted to learn how to draw not just an animal with four legs, ears and a tail, but also to master the schemes for drawing kind and grinning dogs, we wanted to try to depict a spaniel, a dachshund or a shepherd dog with a pencil in stages. But it will be later. In the meantime, our "test of the pen." Today we will show the dog in pencil in stages, and it will be our one-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback. We took him as a model.

Work plan

Drawing a dog with a pencil in stages turned out to be not at all difficult, if you move exactly according to the plan. What does it include:
  • Training;
  • The image of the paws and body of the animal;
  • Work on the face of our pet;
  • Decoration of the picture.
The step-by-step work plan is clear and simple, it helps even people and children who are inexperienced in art to quickly master the technique of depicting dogs.

Phased image of the dog

Stage 1. Preparation

It includes, first of all, the organization of the workplace.


Learn to draw starting with construction lines. We make two ovals that just touch each other. Mandatory: the upper oval is almost 2 times smaller in size than the lower one. And it looks more like a jagged circle.

Even for beginners, this stage will not be difficult, and even a child will cope with it. But in the future, it would be nice if the parents helped their baby in step-by-step drawing.

Stage 2. The image of the paws and body of the animal

How to draw a dog's paws? To do this, draw lines down from the lower oval, at the end of which there will be soft pads. The front legs are fully visible, we make them in their entire length, taking into account the proportions. The back - only one is visible, and since it is bent, we depict its upper part in the form of an egg-shaped figure along the lower right side of the oval. And already from it comes a small part of the dog's paw.

Draw the dog's neck with two curved lines. On the left side, we make the body a little larger.

We make a small circle at the bottom of the upper oval, which will also go to the lower one.

Stage 3. Work on the face of our pet

How to correctly complete all the details of the head? To do this, we divide the upper oval by two arcuate lines, horizontal and vertical, into 4 parts.

On the one that runs horizontally, the eyes will be located.

The drawn small circle is also halved by a vertical line. In the middle of it there will be a dog's nose.

On the sides of the muzzle, we make hanging ears characteristic of the Rhodesian Ridgeback.


We depict the eyes, we perform more accurately the animal's nose.

Stage 4. Making the picture

We have mastered the basic principles that help us understand how to draw. There are some nuances that will make our picture look like the original. Namely, we perform "fingers" on the paws, do not forget about the tail.



We remove all unnecessary lines. We direct the necessary details.


We outline each part of the picture with the desired color. Do not forget that the Rhodesian Ridgeback, although a smooth-haired breed, still has tiny hairs.


Now, having chosen the desired color, we color the picture. Our Gray appears in front of us.


This picture is quite simple. Already a little more comfortable, you can try more complex models, for example, figure out how to draw husky dog or some other breed. Good luck with this!

As a child, each of us created our own masterpieces on paper, and sometimes not only, using paints, pencils, felt-tip pens and everything that could leave its mark on the surface of interest. Not many have transferred their hobby to adulthood, and most have left their skills at the initial stages of development. Of course, with the appearance of children already in their own family and regular requests to draw someone for the baby, parents begin to think about how to do it beautifully and at the same time quickly. It is for this that detailed instructions are offered on how to draw a sitting dog with a pencil in stages.

Why a dog? Yes, because this animal has been the most devoted to man for more than one millennium and fully deserves that everyone learns to portray him in the most realistic and attractive way.

Choosing the main tool

Why with a pencil? The fact is that the pencil leaves a trace behind it that can be easily erased when creating an incorrect line or shaded. Neither with colored pencils, nor even more so with felt-tip pens, you will not be able to quickly correct the error, and the whole drawing will have to be redone anew. Before you draw a sitting dog, you should also understand the designations of this tool. Pencils are available in different hardness and are marked accordingly. Soft rods (letter B) are needed for feathering and creating shadows, hard (letter H) - for outlining the contours. The number next to each letter indicates the degree of softness or hardness.

In order to draw a dog with a pencil for children (whether it sits, lies or stands, it does not matter), it is necessary to select a medium-hardness tool with HB marking. It will be easy to wipe off if necessary, and the contours will remain clear at the same time.

Cooking tools

In addition to the pencil itself, you should also prepare a sheet of paper and an eraser. The latter should also be taken seriously, because its quality will also depend on how well it will erase unnecessary lines when correcting the drawing. You can prepare a lot of paper at once, it is quite possible that the kid, after he sees how his parent drew a sitting dog, and he himself wants to create his own masterpiece.

Option one. Head contours

To simplify the task, it is better for an inexperienced artist to start practicing with less realistic pictures. To do this, below are detailed instructions on how to draw a dog sitting sideways.

  1. So, you should start with the eye. To do this, you need to put a bold point on the paper, closer to the upper right corner.
  2. After that, above the point, you need to draw a semicircle, which will be the head of the animal, as shown in the figure.
  3. The next step is to outline the contours of the dog's face and nose. To do this, draw a curved line from the end of the semicircle, which is located closer to the dog's eye. Here you can also draw the mouth of the dog, having got the second line a little lower.
  4. When the head has already received an animal-like shape, you should draw the dog's ear. Since it sits sideways, it will be one. You can choose any form for this at your discretion, since the variety of breeds makes it possible to roam fantasy.

Outline of body contours

  1. After that, from the bottom of the ear, if it hangs, or from the end of the free end of the semicircle, if the ear sticks out, it is necessary to draw a curved line downward, which will be the back of the animal.
  2. Now, on the opposite side, the contours of the chest and the ponytail are outlined at the bottom of the back.
  3. After that, the artist should draw a straight front paw of the dog, and then a bent hind leg.
  4. The final step will be to trace the contour of the animal's abdomen and paint on the paws of the opposite side.

If it is still not clear how to draw a sitting dog in stages, you should take a look at the photo above.

Instructions for experienced artists

If you managed to cope with the previous task very quickly and there were no difficulties in the process, then next time you can try a more complex drawing. Here, before you draw a sitting dog, even if you are confident in your lines, it is imperative to prepare an eraser, since all the work will take place like those of real artists.

The instructions below will describe the process of creating a puppy on paper, but changing certain outlines may result in a completely different animal.

Beginning of work

The creation of every true masterpiece begins with a sketch. To do this, you just need to draw two circles on the sheet one above the other so that the top one is slightly smaller and they must touch each other. The lines should be soft, so that later some of them can be erased without a trace. In the future, they will be the head and body of the puppy.

After that, the dog should draw paws and a muzzle. The latter is an oval between the two previous circles, which captures the surface of both. The paws, as the animal is sitting, are drawn three, in the form of lines and ovals at their ends.

Drawing details

How to draw a sitting dog with a pencil further? To do this, you need to give the drawing detail and outline the outlines of the ears and nose of the animal. To make everything symmetrical and natural, a cross is drawn in the middle of the head. The ends of the horizontal line will indicate the location of the ears, and the middle of the vertical line, which runs through the muzzle, will indicate the location of the future nose. In the centers of the two parts of the horizontal line, you need to draw the eyes, and under the nose - the line of the mouth. It must necessarily pass strictly in the center of the previously indicated

Important details also include the puppy's toes, the fourth leg, which will be slightly visible, and its tail. You can make any shape of the tail, depending on the breed being drawn, and if you want to "revive" the drawing, you can add tousled fur here and there.

The final stage

Correction of the drawing begins with erasing all additional lines and painting on auxiliary outlines of the coat already on the puppy itself. Also, in order to give the picture maximum realism, shadows should be added to it. This should be done only with a soft pencil that can be easily shaded. The volume of the puppy will be given by shadows around the muzzle, on the legs, ears and in the eye area. To make the drawing as realistic as possible, the painted shadows should be rubbed well with your fingers or an unnecessary clean piece of paper. Claws are also painted on the legs, and with the help of an eraser, you can make glare of light in the eyes and on the nose.

Conclusion
