Method 1 of 4: A Cute Cartoon Puppy
Step 1. Sketch the outline of the puppy's head and body
Sketch a square with a slightly sharp angle on one side of the head and a sketch of the lines that cross inside it. Use a square for the body, making the back a little thicker. Use a pencil to outline the outline to make it easier to erase the extra lines later.
Step 2. Draw the outline of the puppy's ears and limbs
Step 3. Add the puppy's tail
In this illustration, the tail is raised upwards. Usually when dogs are excited or happy, they wag their tails or lift them up.
Step 4. Using the cross on his face as a guide, draw the puppy's eyes, nose and mouth
Note that the dog's nose is protruding, so when drawing the nose in this angle, it is slightly to the left.

Tips
- Keep practicing to get better at your drawings!
- There's no need to worry about whether the results are good or not as long as you try to draw as much as possible.
- Use a pencil and don't be afraid to erase or start over. Sometimes, the results are not always what you want.
- Use a very sharp pencil so you can draw fine lines. This will help you focus on drawing.
- If you use crayons or colored pencils, there will be a white line on the pencil sketch area after erasing. Erase pencil lines properly before coloring or if these white lines appear, thicken the color in that area.
- Practice drawing every day so you can draw even better!
- Make sure to colorize the image smoothly for a beautiful result!
- Rulers are useful for drawing outlines. You will also need a clean eraser so that the initial sketch lines are not visible after the drawing is finished coloring.
