Best of Art Gym: How to Draw Dogs 🐶

Learn the Swoop + Snout Technique

Art Gym Replay: Drawing Dogs Workshop 🐶

Are you looking for an excuse to draw dog for an hour…? Then you’re in the right place!

In this workshop, Katie Stack and Adam Ming will lead you through a series of exercises to draw dogs!

You will begin with some drills that will help you simplify dog anatomy. Then you’ll put everything together to draw a variety of dog breeds and poses. By the end, you will have a sketchbook playful pups and tools for drawing dogs anytime you like!

Plus, you’ll pick up tricks for spotting these same patterns across other four-legged animals (yes, even notoriously hard-to-draw horses).

You’ll learn the steps to go from observation to sketching a dog full of personality, like this cutie by Yumiko Kitazono :

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to simplify dog anatomy

  • How to apply what you learn to other four-legged animals

  • Two ways to draw dogs: realistic and stylized

  • Tips for drawing a variety of breeds, just like Robyn Hepburn did:

Rumor has it Robyn might open up dog commissions… keep an eye on her Susbtack, everyone!!

The Benefits:

  • Build the skills to draw dogs and other four-legged animals, like what Abinaya Kamalanathan says in her comment below!

  • Fine tune your observation skills as illustrators by recognizing the defining characteristics of different dog breeds

  • Time to connect with fellow illustrators in a supportive space

  • Sharing your work in the gallery and getting inspired
