Today I’ll share a simple but clear guide on how to draw a running puppy. This drawing isn’t complicated, making it suitable for beginners or anyone looking for a quick, enjoyable sketch. I’ll help you easily capture this little pup’s joyful pose and playful expression.
What Makes the Puppy Look Realistic?
- Rounded head with floppy ears
- Playful eyes
- Small muzzle with short whiskers
- Short legs with clear paws
- A tail pointing upward, showing motion
If you’ll enjoy drawing this puppy, you might also want to sketch other similar guides. There’s a comprehensive dogs drawing guide which includes different styles and poses. But if you’d like to make some stylized pup sketches, check the guides for a chibi and a fluffy cartoon pup!
Colors and Lines: Guide Explained
- Red Color: This shows you the exact step you should draw next.
- Black Color: Highlights the lines you’ve already finished.
- Grey Color: Indicates the initial sketch and helps you position each feature.

Ilnur, i know you’re busy right now, but would it be possible if you could draw some
more hello kitty characters for me to try out, please? I’ll only request 3 or 4 of the
characters 🙂
I’ve been meaning to add all the main Sanrio characters for a while now, but it totally slipped my mind 😊 So I’ll start with Hello Kitty and gradually add the others. I’ll get to it as soon as I’m back at my workspace.
