How To Draw An Angry Dog

Step-by-step guide on drawing an angry cartoon dog:

Step 1:

Draw a rough circle for the head. Then draw a reference grid, which will come in handy later on when you draw this dog's angry face.

Step 2:

Add two circles for the body. A smaller circle for the front of the body and a bigger circle for the back part of the body.

Step 3:

Draw a bump in the head. This bump is actually the snout of your angry dog.

Step 4:

Outline the angry dog's mouth. This mouth looks slightly smiley, but it's actually an angry mouth.

Step 5:

Draw a circle for the eye. A pretty simple circle just above the mouth for the right eye. Then join the body and head up.

Step 6:

Draw two big eyes. Your angry dog's ears will look like two wide, rounded triangle shapes.

Step 7:

Sketch a heart-shaped nose. Your dog may be angry but it can still show love through a heart-shaped nose.

Step 8:

Draw an angry-shaped eyebrow. Now your dog is starting to look really angry.

Step 9:

Round the mouth up. To make the dog's mouth look realistic give it some extra curves.

Step 10:

Add some sharp teeth. An angry dog only looks scary with some sharp teeth in its mouth.

Step 11:

Draw in the tongue. The tongue is like a semi-circle shape inside the mouth.

Step 12:

Draw the dog feet. You may want to draw a reference line to represent the ground. This will help you draw the right sized legs.

Step 13:

Outline your dog's legs. Start by drawing curved lines for the legs.

Step 14:

Bulk up those legs. Give those skinny legs some meat and then add on a nice collar.

Step 15:

Add in some facial details. This includes the little eye dot and rounded up the face a little more.

Step 16:

Draw in the ear details. This means adding in some ear fut and drawing in the inner ear shapes.

Step 17:

Sketch the tail line. This will help you draw a nice shaped tail for your dog. You can also add some hair on top of your dog's head.

Step 18:

Give that tail some fur details. Thicken up your dog's tail with fur.

Step 19:

Draw the paws. The paws are just small balls on your dog's feet.

Step 20:

Give your dog some sharp claws. A scary, angry dog deserves some sharp claws on it's paws.

Step 21:

Sketch in the final details. These final details include whiskers, nose details and more fur.

Step 22:

Outline your dog using a marker. Then use your eraser to rub out any extra pencil lines. You can even colour in your dog or leave it alone in black and white:
