Drawing a dog or basically any other animal seems kind of difficult. But in this beginner drawing course I'll be showing you it's far from the impossible. I will break down the dog drawing process to 5 easy-to-follow steps, so every beginner at drawing can follow along easily.

No previous drawing knowledge is necessary. This drawing course is for beginners.

Content

We'll be going through these phases:

• preparation: you need some office papers and a regular graphite pencil

• identifying the base structure of our subject: we will observe our subject and learn how to identify simple basic 2-D shapes as building blocks

• copying the base structure: we will copy the structure identified in the previous step

• block-in our subject: this intermediate step will help us to form the real outline of our subject

• refining the contours: in this step we improve the shape of our subject further

• adding shadows & texture: in this phase our drawing is getting 3-dimensionality

• blending & adding more details: by using a blending technique will create a more realistic look of our dog

What drawing tools you need

If you have just a traditional graphite pencil and some copy papers, that's perfectly enough to begin this course. In the blending part you will need one or two paper tissues or paper towels, but that's something that probably every household have.

You can be an absolute beginner at drawing, but by the end of the course you'll be surprised how easy it is to draw your favorite pet with a simple graphite pencil.
