How to Draw Dog

Simple steps to draw dog, based on what works in the examples above.

1 Start with the biggest, easiest shape in the prompt and keep it centered.
2 Add floppy ears and snout early — these are the features that make a dog recognizable.
3 Add two unmistakable clues that make the subject different from nearby prompts.
4 Keep it simple at first. Do not chase detail before the basic idea is readable.
5 Practice by drawing a dog in Artbitrator, where you can also watch how other players approached it.

Tip: The most recognizable dog drawings get floppy ears and snout down early. Add those first, then refine.
