Then, at the junction of these ovals, draw another, which later forms the muzzle of the animal. Small ovals are also located in places where the dog will have paws.

Draw your head. To do this, divide the head oval into four parts using two lines intersecting at right angles. At the level of the horizontal line, mark the eyes. In the middle of the muzzle oval, sketch a triangle for the nose. Then from him draw a straight line down, a little short of the edge of the circle. Right and left from the end of the line draw two horizontal lines so that they do not intersect the shape of the circle. This is the line of the mouth.
