    How do I make the eyes?

    Draw an almond shape where the eyes will be. Fill it in with the desired eye color, and make a big pupil. Add shine, which is done with a normal eraser.

    Turn its head a bit. From the top of the head, draw a roundish body and draw some paws in front of its head and some feet at the back and, of course, a tail.

    How can I shade a picture to make it look more realistic?
    Community Answer
    You could add shading to the ground around the object as a shadow, to trick the brain into thinking the drawing is three-dimensional.

    Community Answer
    Color it in with the base color, but first designate highlighted areas if you're shading and color around them. Then, color with a darker brown over the shaded areas like you were shading normally.

    How do you draw a husky puppy?
    Community Answer
    Use basic puppy-drawing techniques, but make the ears pointed like a wolf's. Give the puppy blue eyes and white "eyebrows." Make his cheeks and muzzle white, and add a vertical white stripe between his eyes.

    Community Answer
    It would be more difficult than drawing it on paper, but yes, you can try if you’d like.
  • Question
    Is it possible just to do the head?

    Sure! You can work towards doing the entire body once you feel comfortable with it.

    Community Answer
    Dogs don’t have eyebrows like people. Their "eyebrows" are little raised ovals above their eyes, but you can leave those out if you'd like.
  • Question
    How do I shape the feet?
    Community Answer
    They should be shaped like ovals with three lines running down the edge of the oval. And you can add claws if you choose.

    I could explain, but, frankly, it will be more helpful for you if you just Google a picture of a dog lying down and use that as a guide.

    How do I draw a baby puppy?
    Community Answer
    If it's a cartoon, make its head and eyes bigger, legs small, big head, and draw it smiling. If it's realistic, make it lighter in color and have an overall rounder body shape.

    You can draw a dot then use a ruler and draw two lines across the dots to make your cross.
  • Question
    How do I draw cute puppy face?
    Community Answer
    Draw a curved line, like an upside down bracket. Then make the sides of it still round, but more straight. Do another curve for the bottom of it, but make the outer part face the top bit. Then do what you did for the side, to the other side. You have an eye shape, for the muzzle. Do a curved line, then add a dot under it, then add any expression you want underneath but make it attached to the dot, as this would be the muzzle and nose.
  • Question
    Do I have to use these colours specifically?

    Community Answer
    No. You can use any colour you like. But it would look more realistic if you stick to colors dogs would be in real life.
