  • Question
    How do I do it perfectly?
    Community Answer
    This depends on what you think is perfect. You will most likely never get a drawing absolutely perfect, but you can get close. To do this you need a lot of practice and repetition. Try re-drawing the Chihuahua many times. No matter what each style you are drawing, cartoon or realistic, it takes practice and repetition.

      About This Article

      Article Summary X

      To draw a chihuahua, draw a circle for the head, a small circle on the lower left for the snout, and 2 large ears on top of the head. Next, form the body by making 2 circles and connecting the top and bottom of the circles with curved lines. Then, draw legs that are attached to the body and a tail curving over the back. Draw in facial features like big dark eyes, a nose, and wrinkles. Finally, add short slanted strokes for the fur and color in your chihuahua. For more advice, like how to draw a chihuahua with a collar, keep reading!
