Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Head and floppy ears
Draw a big rounded dome for the top of the head. At each side, keep going down and curl the line into a round, floppy ear flap that ends in a small curve near the middle of the face.
Step 3: The ear folds
Draw a short curved line down inside each ear, starting near the top of the ear and ending near its bottom curve. This shows the ear hanging down beside the face.
Step 4: The chin
Draw a smooth, wide U-shaped curve under the face. Start it where one ear ends and finish where the other ear ends.
Step 5: The body sides
Below the chin, draw one long, nearly straight line down on the left. On the right, draw a slanted line that goes down and curves in at the bottom.
Step 6: Tail and back leg
On the right side of the body, draw a small curved loop for the tail. On the left at the bottom, draw a small rounded shape for the back leg and foot.
Step 7: Front legs and paws
Draw short straight lines down from the belly for the front legs. Join the bottoms with soft, bumpy curves to make two round paws.
Step 8: Eyes and nose
Draw two round dots for the eyes, spaced apart on the face. Between and just below them, draw a small rounded triangle for the nose.
Step 9: Smile and tongue
Under the nose, draw a little curved smile that bends up on each side. Then add a small U-shaped tongue hanging down in the middle.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a beagle puppy
- Draw the ears so they start at the sides of the head and hang down past the cheeks. Floppy ears are what make this puppy look like a beagle.
- Keep the two eyes the same size and the same height. Draw one first, then match the other to it, so the face looks friendly.
- The paws are the trickiest part. Draw the short front legs first, then join the bottoms with gentle bumps.
