How To Draw An Angry Dog
Step-by-step guide on drawing an angry cartoon dog:
Step 1:
Draw a rough circle for the head. Then draw a reference grid, which will come in handy later on when you draw this dog’s angry face.
Step 2:
Add two circles for the body. A smaller circle for the front of the body and a bigger circle for the back part of the body.
Step 3:
Draw a bump in the head. This bump is actually the snout of your angry dog.
Step 4:
Outline the angry dog’s mouth. This mouth looks slightly smiley, but it’s actually an angry mouth.
Step 5:
Draw a circle for the eye. A pretty simple circle just above the mouth for the right eye. Then join the body and head up.
Step 6:
Draw two big eyes. Your angry dog’s ears will look like two wide, rounded triangle shapes.
Step 7:
Sketch a heart-shaped nose. Your dog may be angry but it can still show love through a heart-shaped nose.
Step 8:
Draw an angry-shaped eyebrow. Now your dog is starting to look really angry.
Step 9:
Round the mouth up. To make the dog’s mouth look realistic give it some extra curves.
Step 10:
Add some sharp teeth. An angry dog only looks scary with some sharp teeth in its mouth.
Step 11:
Draw in the tongue. The tongue is like a semi-circle shape inside the mouth.
Step 12:
Draw the dog feet. You may want to draw a reference line to represent the ground. This will help you draw the right sized legs.
Step 13:
Outline your dog’s legs. Start by drawing curved lines for the legs.
Step 14:
Bulk up those legs. Give those skinny legs some meat and then add on a nice collar.
Step 15:
Add in some facial details. This includes the little eye dot and rounded up the face a little more.
Step 16:
Draw in the ear details. This means adding in some ear fut and drawing in the inner ear shapes.
Step 17:
Sketch the tail line. This will help you draw a nice shaped tail for your dog. You can also add some hair on top of your dog’s head.
Step 18:
Give that tail some fur details. Thicken up your dog’s tail with fur.
Step 19:
Draw the paws. The paws are just small balls on your dog’s feet.
Step 20:
Give your dog some sharp claws. A scary, angry dog deserves some sharp claws on it’s paws.
Step 21:
Sketch in the final details. These final details include whiskers, nose details and more fur.
Step 22:
Outline your dog using a marker. Then use your eraser to rub out any extra pencil lines. You can even colour in your dog or leave it alone in black and white:
