How to Draw a Hound Dog

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Start by drawing circles of various sizes in the same proximity to one another as shown here.

   These determine where the head, chest, and hips are going to be.
2. 2

   Step 2: Connect the circles with curved lines.

   Add the banana-shaped tail.
   
   Make sure your lines are smooth and even. , Draw the legs of the dog.
   
   They are squiggly, teardrop-like shapes that connect to the main body--they look too frail to support such a sturdy dog, but once you've shaped your hound a little more they'll be more in proportion. , These should be a little thicker at the top, and the back leg should be positioned in such a way that it looks like your dog is leaning forward. , They are shaped like rounded triangles over the ends of the legs, almost like horses' hooves. , For the other ear and the nose, draw two more rounded triangles. , To make your dog look realistic you can use grey, brown, white, or black, but be sure to use different tones throughout.
   
   And don't forget to add toes to his feet!
