To start with draw four different sized oval shapes and place them like in the sample below.

Step 2:

Now add four long vertical rectangles like in the sample below.  This will give us the basic guide for our piglet.

Step 3:

Now using our guide from step 2 we need to give our pig some features and also draw in the actual outline of the pig like below.

Step 4:

Now draw around the outline in a darker tone and remove all unwanted marks leaving you with a clean image.

Step 5:

Your now ready to add some shading to your drawing like below.

Sketch a small circle and an oval and place them like below.

Step 2:
Now sketch a triangular shape on top of the oval creating a guide for the birds wings.  And also sketch in a rectangular shape for the tail. (see below)

Step 3:
Now that we have our basic layout down add some legs and start to add detail like in sample 3 below.

Step 4:
Once your happy with the way your bird looks draw around him in a darker tone and  erase all unwanted lines.

Step 5:
Now for the fun part, add some color!

Start by sketching four different shapes and overlap them like in sample 1.

Step 2:

Now we need to draw in a guide for where the legs will go.  Sample 2  (below) shows how we can achieve this by using some more shapes.

Step 3:

Now that we have our basic guide sketched down we now need to draw in the actual outline of the horse.  (see below)

Step 4:

Once the actual outline of the horse is sketched in you will now need to start going around it again but with a darker tone and remove any unwanted lines.

Step 5:

Now that we have a clean image to work with we can now begin to add some shading.

Step 6:

See how a little shading can bring it to life.

Step 1:

Draw two ovals, one small and one large and position them like below.

Step 2:

Now add some more shapes like below.  This will give us the basic guide for our penguin.

Step 3:

Now start to draw in the actual outline of the penguin and add some other details like the eye and feet.

Step 4:

Once happy with your drawing begin to erase some of the unwanted lines.

Step 5:

Draw around your penguin using a darker toned pencil then clean your image with an eraser removing all unwanted lines so your left with a nice clean image like below.

Step 6:

Now your ready to do some rendering!

Step1:

A butterfly basically consists of three shapes, a triangle, oval and a cone. So what you need to do is sketch out these shapes like below and then position them like in sample 2.

Step 2:

The shapes are to be used as a guide and now that you have the basic shape down you can start to add detail. So now what you need to do is erase the lines that overlap like in sample 3, and using the shapes as a guide you can draw in your own wing and body shapes.

Step 3:

Now erase the guide and add a pattern within the wings like in sample 6.

Step 4:

It is important to have a clean image before you start to add color.  So you may want to consider drawing around the whole image with a much neater line and erase any unwanted lines or marks, like in sample 7.

We’re going to have a step by step guide first, and then a couple of videos, some for beginners and some for the more advanced drawers. So, in the end all these should help you draw a cat as you want it.

Now, there’s nothing much to say before we’ll move one, so let’s just get drawing that cat.

The step by step guide

First, you start by drawing a guideline like in the picture above: an oval and a cross over it. That will help you draw first the shape of the head and then the face elements. But before drawing those elements, you should place you cat’s years. Then, wotk on the mouth, tiny nose and eyes.

You should get something like in the first picture above. Now it’s time to continue with the body. Draw an oval just under the head and continue it with a carrot shaped sketch like above. Now, you’ll also have to draw the unseen parts of the body. As you can see in the third picture from the ones above, it’s that peared shaped thingy.

Now, with the help of those guides, draw the legs of your cat, and don’t forget about the tail… Finally, you just have to color your drawing.

You should get something like the last cat in the picture above. If you didn’t, just keep trying. And that’s about it with our step by step how to draw a cat guide (with pictures coming from here)

And now, let’s take a look at a couple of videos.

This first one teaches you how to draw a cat on your computer, with the help of Photoshop.

And this second one shows you how to draw a cat on paper, the plain classic method But it’s meant for small kids only.

And … that’s about it. Hopefully this was helpful for you and you learned something about drawing cats. Just keep practicing and you’ll get better at it.

We also had before another lesson on how to draw a cartoon dog, perhaps you would want to check that out too.

That being said, enough with the small talk; get your paper and pencil ready and let’s get drawing. Do you see the big puppy picture bellow? That’s what you’re going to learn in the step by step guide.

First steps: draw sketch-lines for you puppy’s framework

Start by drawing two circles: a bigger one for the head and a smaller one for the body of your puppy. Draw a slight-left curved cross over the big circle, that’s going to help you position face elements. It’s left curved because, as you can see in the picture above, the face of your puppy is turned right a little bit. Finally, sketch the neck , legs and tail.

Second step: draw the head

Draw two big eyes in the top corners of the cross drawn at step 1 like you can see in the picture. Then draw the big nose and the years. Add the top of the head and focus on the mouth. The picture bellow will show you better what you have to do in order to get this puppy look as it should.

Final step: Draw the body and add finishing details

In this final step you have to focus on the body: draw the legs, tail, neck, etc. And finally finish those big eyes that make a puppy drawing so expressive. And that’s it. I’m sure you’re drawing looks like the one in the pic, right?

The pictures for this step by step guide came from here.

And like i said before, you can also find two videos. Watch them carefully, i believe they’ll show you a couple of things about drawing puppies too.

Video 1 – Learn to draw a puppy

Video 2 – Learn to draw a small dog

And that’s about it for today. I hope you loved our lessons and really learnt how to draw a puppy. Remember, all you have to do is keep practicing. And stay tuned for all the guides to come on this site in the following weeks.

What we are going to do is take it one step at a time, going from basic shapes, like circles and curved lines, to a fine looking doggy, as seen here. In every step of this guide on how to draw a cartoon dog, all you have to do is follow the red lines and that’s all there is to it! Let’s get started!

Step 1: First, we need a basic shape for the body and the head of your puppy, a kidney-bean and an oval, respectively. Then draw one more oval for the snout.

Step 2: Now let’s give our puppy a chance to play around, by drawing a couple of legs on it’s near side, as seen bellow. Don’t forget the paws, just a couple of small ovals should do it.

Step 3: This step in our learn how to draw a dog guide teaches you to draw the ears with a couple of curved lines. Add two more legs(similar to those already sketched above), on the far side, then connect the head and the body through a short neck. To make the picture whole, draw a simple tail.

Step 4: Let’s animate our furry friend, by adding some detail to his face: eyes, a nose, hair and a smiley mouth. After you sketch the toes, you should draw some spots, all over the dog’s body, just in a random pattern, which is up to you.

Step 5: As you can see, by looking at your drawing so far, everything came together quite nicely. All that is left to do is trace the lines you want to keep with a pen and just erase the extras.

The example shown above is colored in shades of brown, but you can use whatever combination of colors you like for the dog you learned to draw in this guide.

The images used in this hot to draw a cartoon dog guide, were initially posted here. Now let’s have a look at a couple of videos and see how they can help us learn to draw a cartoon dog.

Well, that’s about it for today. I hope you enjoyed our 5 step guide on how to draw a cartoon dog and the videos. Come back later this week for more simple and really great drawing guides.

These simple set of images(as examples) and instructions will teach you how you can go from basic geometrical shapes, like squares and triangles, to a very lively tropical fish. So, here we go:

Step 1: First of all, draw a square and don’t worry about getting it perfectly straight. Then draw two triangles, one on each side of your square, to sketch a fish shape and the give it a tail, by drawing one more triangle, as the tail.

 Step 2: Give your fish the possibility to swim drawing some fins, one for the upper part, one for the lower part and one in the middle of the initial square. Now draw an eye and a heart-shaped mouth, as seen here.

Step 3: This step is the easiest yet(imagine that!) as it gives you the creative hand. All you have to do is draw some wavy lines up and down your new pet fish. Do this in any way you like.

 Step 4: Now it’s time for a few finishing touches. You will need to erase the corners of your triangles, square and fins, as well as the extra lines, so that the parts of the body fit together. Give your fish a chance to actually swim in the ocean!

I choose to color our fish in blue and yellow, but there are lots of other color schemes you can use to bring live to your new drawing. Do so and that’s a wrap!

The images used in this 4 step guide on how to draw a cartoon fish were originally posted here. Now, let’s watch a few videos and see how they can help us draw a better cartoon fish.

That’s about it for today. I hope you enjoyed our guide and really got an idea on how to draw a cartoon fish. Until next time: Happy drawing!
