If I went ahead and made a tutorial on a sleeping cat, I might as well make one on "how to draw a sleeping dog", step by step. As you may or may not tell from the image, the dog breed I chose to draw is a German Shepherd. I have two of them and my female is a true bi-color. My male is all black, but when they sit together in the back part of the truck with the cab open, they look like two black shepherds. Anyways, this dog is in a pose that my dog was in when she was sleeping last night. I glanced over at here and went from there. The lesson should be pretty simple since the canine is in a laying pose. Since this is a large dog breed, I had to make sure that the body was drawn in a robust manner. Anyways, this is going to be fun, so carry on as you begin drawing a sleeping dog of your own. Peace out people!

STEP 1.

Lets start by making two shapes, one for the body which looks like an egg, and the other is a simple circle and will be used for the head. Draw a connecting neck line as well.
