Simple Tutorial: How to Draw a Cartoon Puppy in a Sitting Pose

Today I’ll show you how to draw a cute and easy cartoon puppy in a sitting pose in just 9 simple steps. This drawing is suitable even if you’re just starting out, and the puppy’s appearance is straightforward and fun to sketch.

Key Points for Drawing the Puppy

  • Rounded head shape with gently curved ears.
  • Simple facial features including circular eyes and a small smiling mouth.
  • Sitting posture clearly showing both front paws and hind legs.
  • A tail slightly visible behind the body.
  • Minimalistic details, keeping the overall drawing simple.

If you enjoy drawing this puppy, you might also like sketching other cute animals like a shark, a whale, or a French Bulldog.

How Colors Work in This Tutorial

To help make your drawing easier, here’s how I use colors:

  • Red Color: The current step you’re working on.
  • Black Color: Lines you’ve drawn in previous steps.
  • Grey Color: The basic guidelines to follow.
