Let’s Draw!

Step 1: Draw the ears and the top part of the head. Don’t forget to draw one grid at a time. Start your grid from the left side of the head. Then work your way to the right side of the face.

Step 2: Draw curve lines for both sides of the Pug’s cheeks, ensuring that the lines gently round outwards to capture the adorable fullness characteristic of this breed.

Step 3: Draw an almost complete oval for the snout, ensuring that it is proportionate to the rest of the face for a more realistic appearance. After establishing the shape of the snout, proceed to draw the nose at the top center of the oval, making it slightly triangular to capture its form accurately. Then, draw a W shape for the mouth, curving it gently to convey a friendly expression. To enhance the detail, add some dots for whiskers on both side of the snout. This will help bring your drawing to life by adding character and depth to the face.

Step 4: Place the two rounded eyes but leave the white circles. These white circles are the glares of the eyes that give the image its cute factor. Not to worry, if you are having a hard time leaving out white circles, you can use white Sharpie or Posca acryllic paint markers. Just dab dots on the eyes and voila! You just made cutesy eyes. Draw 2 curve lines for the eyebrows too.

Step 5: Carefully follow the curved lines on each grid and draw the back legs, ensuring that you pay close attention to the angles and curves to create a natural and realistic appearance. Take your time to refine the shapes, adding muscle definition and proportions that align with the overall body structure. Consider how the legs will support the figure and visualize their movement, which will help in achieving a more dynamic pose. Remember, small details can greatly enhance the final look, so don’t hesitate to revisit and adjust as needed for the best results.

Step 6: Then draw the front legs, ensuring that they are proportionate to the body and reflect the correct posture of the creature you are depicting. Start by sketching the basic shapes for each leg, considering their angles and placement in relation to the body.

Step 7: Finally draw a curly shape for the tail, allowing your creative flair to shine through as you experiment with different curls and swirls. Take your time to refine this detail, ensuring it complements the overall design beautifully. And that’s that! Great job on completing your masterpiece! You’ve not only followed the steps but also imbued your unique style into the artwork.
