How to Draw a Kawaii Dog

Time to draw your own Kawaii dog, let’s go!

Step 1

Draw a rough circle for the face. Use short pencil strokes to draw the circle.

Step 2

Draw a reference point for the facial features. Drawing a rough guide or reference points is a good way to create an expressive corgi face Kawaii style.

Step 3

Sketch a rough oval shape for the body. Make sure it’s a bulky oval because of Corgi’s look cuter when they have a bigger body shape than the head shape.

Step 4

Draw two pointy ears. A corgi’s ears are kind of like cat eyes, but bigger on the head. The reference point you drew earlier will come in handy for drawing the ears.

Step 5

Draw in the legs. You can draw a line across your page to represent the ground. Then using this line draw in the front two legs.

Step 6

Draw in the back leg. Use the ground as a reference point draw in a small oval-shaped to represent the back leg for your Kawaii Corgi.

Step 7

Sketch in your Corgi’s face. Use the reference point from step 2, draw in your Corgi’s eyes, nose and upper lip in a smiley shape. For this tutorial we are drawing a winking Corgi dog, so make sure the right eye is just a curved line.

Step 8

Draw in the ear and mouth details. For the inside of the ears follow the original ear shape you drew in step 4. And then for the mouth, draw an upside down semi-circle shape with a little tongue inside.

Outline your corgi drawing with a marker. While outlining your Corgi, add some fur details on the face and body. You could also add in some cute cheeks and fur markings.
