Drawing a Border Collie: Step-by-step a happy dog on paper
Animals
Hi young artist! Today we are going to draw a Border Collie, one of the smartest dogs there is. With a few circles and lines, you'll conjure a furry friend onto your paper in no time. Grab your pencil and eraser, and let's get started together!
1
Draw a small oval for the head and a larger oval for the body, with a guide line through the face.
2
Connect the head and the body with smooth lines and sketch a long, curved line for the tail.
3
Draw straight lines for the legs and make a cross on the face for the eyes and the snout.
4
Make the legs thicker with ovals and draw a square shape for the snout.
5
Draw the triangular ears on top of the head and give the tail more shape.
6
Draw the toes at the bottom of the legs and finish the shape of the snout roundly.
7
Draw the round eyes, a little nose, and make the belly and legs more detailed.
8
Give the dog a hairy appearance by drawing small strokes along the lines.
9
Trace the final lines with a black marker, erase the guide lines, and draw the ground.
