Thick lines: draw these now. Thin gray: already drawn. Dashed: light guides you erase later.

  1. center lineeye line

    1. Draw a light circle for the head. Draw a light line straight down through the middle and a light line across, a little above the middle.

  2. 2. Draw a big light oval for the body under the head. Let it overlap the bottom of the head circle a little.

  3. 3. Draw two tall pointed ears on top of the head, the same size and the same distance from the center line. Join them with a short curve.

  4. 4. Draw the fluffy cheeks: out from each ear, two or three fur points at the sides, then down to a pointed chin on the center line.

  5. 5. Draw two slanted eyes on the eye line, the same distance from the center. Add the nose on the center line, two lines for the snout and a small mouth.

  6. 6. Draw the inside of each ear. Then draw a curve on each cheek from the snout to the last fur point: it shows where the white fur begins.

  7. 7. Draw the sides of the body down from under the cheeks. Then draw a big round bump on each side: the folded back legs.

  8. 8. Draw the bushy tail next, because it is in front. It comes out on the right, curls across the bottom and ends in a point that turns up on the left.

  9. 9. Draw the front legs. First draw a zigzag of white chest fur under the chin. Then draw the legs straight down to the tail, with one line between them.

  10. erase

    10. Erase the guides: the head circle, the body oval, the center line and the eye line.

  11. 11. Finish with details: a line for the white tail tip and a line across the legs where the dark socks start. The tail is round, so shade its bottom edge with short lines.

Tip: Turn your paper upside down to check the face: if one side looks bigger, the center line shows you which.
