In this guide, I’ll show you how to draw Dog Man in a running pose. The character comes from Dav Pilkey’s graphic novel series, and this version is drawn in a simple cartoon style. The drawing has 16 steps and I’d consider it easy, the pose involves movement but the lines remain very simple.
Main Features of Dog Man Running
- Head: Rounded dog’s head with long nose and floppy ears.
- Eyes: Two narrow vertical ovals.
- Mouth: Wide open smile with tongue sticking out.
- Body: Blue shirt with a yellow badge symbol in the center.
- Hat: Small police-style cap with a yellow badge, shown flying off his head.
- Legs and Arms: Running motion with bent limbs.
- Shoes: Simple rounded black shoes.
If you want more drawing practice after this one, you could also try drawing Captain Underpants, Petey the Cat, or Li’l Petey from the same series. I’m working on these guides and they’ll be posted here soon.

Now that you know how to draw Dog Man, I’m curious what you actually used to sketch him out – pencil and paper, a drawing tablet, an app on your phone? It’s always interesting to see the range of tools people work with. If you want to share your version, the pinned Dog Man post on Pinterest is a great spot to drop it in the comments.
