Step 1

Start with a rough circle. Remember short strokes make a better, natural-looking circle perfect for animal drawing.

Step 2

Add two more circles for the body. A bid wide-looking circle in the middle and then a smaller circle for the back.

Step 3

Create a reference grid on the face. A reference grid will help you map out your anime dog’s facial features. Then join together the body and head circles.

Step 4

Draw two pointy-looking ears. These pointy ears are almost like two wonky-looking triangles.

Step 5

Draw a rough line below the body. This rough line will represent the ground, so your anime dog’s legs measure up right. Then draw a small semi-circle on the line. This semi-circle should align with the edge of your dog’s face. Finally for this step draw a small circle coming off the big body circle under the neck area.

Step 6

Draw the front legs roughly. First join the semi-circle already on the page with the small body circle. Then draw another semi-circle on the ground and join it to the big body circle.

Step 7

Sketch one back leg. To do this you’ll need to draw a line half-way above the ground line as a reference point. Then from this draw a bent semi-circle for the hind feet and a small circle for your ghost dog’s knee.

Step 6 – Color The Dog

  • If you are drawing on paper be sure the leave the highlight areas blank. If drawing digitally you can draw them in over top later.
