Hi! And welcome to this new tutorial series on how to draw animal portraits.

This will be a 5-part series where we’re going to cover many aspects of drawing a pet portrait.

Because of time constraints, we are going to focus on drawing a single part of an animal’s face – a dog’s eyes.

Through out the series, we will go though step-by-step how to draw a dog’s eye and I will show you different techniques for making your drawing look realistic (like how to draw fur and how to shade the eye.)

In this lesson, we’ll start by creating the rough outline of the eye. This process is a bit more challenging than drawing a human portrait because of all the fur and small details. But I’ll go over some tricks to make your job easier.

Here’s the reference photo we’ll be working with:

So go ahead and print out the reference, watch this video, and draw along!
