Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Long Ears
Make two tall leaf-shaped ears with open lower ends. Add a smaller curved shape inside each ear.
Pro Tip: Tilt the ears slightly outward while keeping their tips level.
Step 2: Shape the Head
Connect the ears with a few short crown tufts. Curve outward into full cheeks and leave a small opening beneath the chin.
Pro Tip: Make the cheeks widest below the center of the face.
Step 3: Create the Face
Draw two round highlighted eyes with short curved eyebrows. Add a tiny triangular nose and two curled mouth lines.
Pro Tip: Center the nose below the midpoint between the eyes.
Step 4: Add Body and Front Paws
Extend a long curved back from the left side of the head. Draw two small forelegs meeting near the chest with simple toe marks.
Pro Tip: Keep the forepaws small compared with the broad head.
Step 5: Draw the Hind Legs
Add a large rounded thigh and front-facing foot on the left. Shape a narrower rear foot on the right with tiny toes.
Pro Tip: Rest both feet along the same imaginary ground line.
Step 6: Finish the Tail
Draw a fluffy tail peeking from behind the left side. Use several broad scallops to form its soft outline.
Pro Tip: Keep the tail partly hidden to show that it sits behind the body.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
