How to draw a dog standing on two legs step by step
How to Draw a Dog Standing on Two Legs · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Left ear and side
Start near the top middle and draw a wobbly line going left. Let it bump out into a round, floppy ear, then bring it back in and wiggle it down the left side, ending in a little curl.
Step 2: Right ear
Start a little to the right of where the first line began and draw the top of the head going right. Make a big round bump for the second ear, then curve the line back in and down a little way.
Step 3: Waving arm
Start at the right side under the ear and draw a bent arm that loops up and around into a rounded paw, like the dog is saying hello. Then let the line wiggle down the right side of the body.
Step 4: The feet
At the bottom, draw a wavy line from the right side of the body going left. Make two flat feet with a gentle hump between them for the space between the legs.
Step 5: Left leg
Start just under the curl on the left side and draw a wobbly line down. Connect it to the left end of the feet line.
Step 6: The little tail
On the left side, draw a skinny leaf shape that sticks out from the body for the tail.
Step 7: Happy face
Draw two tiny dots for the eyes. Below them, draw a small curvy smile, and add a U shape under it for the tongue.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a dog standing on two legs
- Draw slowly and let your pencil wiggle. The bumpy line is what makes the dog look fluffy.
- The waving arm is the trickiest part. Start at the body, loop up and around, and end with a round paw before you go down the side.
- Keep the face small. Two dots, a little smile, and a tongue are all the dog needs to look happy.
