How to Draw an Anime Dog, Anime Dog

Every once in a while I will get a request based on an anime character or animal. When I can, I will fill requests as they come in and put them in order. If there is something that I think almost everyone on the site will enjoy, I will tackle a request right away. Today you will be surprised because this lesson is on "how to draw an anime dog", step by step. Anime animals are really fun to draw because they have so many different expressions that can be drawn on their faces. Anime animals are also slightly different looking then your typical cartoon style creation. They have wider eyes, simple bright colors, and a very Japanese look. This drawing of an anime dog is going to be super fun to try out because along with the tutorial, I also include some helpful tips and examples that will help make this lesson so much easier to understand. Of course you can turn your male dog into a gal, just by making the collar a bit thinner, and adding lashes to those big bright eyes. You might also want to draw a slender body if your anime dog is a female, but other than that you should be good to go. I will try and get back soon with some more drawing fun but if I don’t I hope you enjoyed your drawing day!

STEP 4.

Start with three circles that are almost the same size. The head shape is probably the bigger of the three. They should all connect like so, and then draw out a facial guide in the middle.

STEP 5.

Using the facial guidelines you drew in step four, you will start drawing out the arched eyelids like so, and then draw out the snout, heart shaped nose, and the great big smile. Notice how the lids lines are thicker or bolder.
