HOW TO DRAW
How to Draw Dogs’ Eyes
from cartoon to realistic
When drawing dogs the eyes are the most important part.
Add a pair of speaking eyes to a barely sketched picture, and the whole thing has meaning.
Sometimes I start with the eyes — after the initial shapes of the whole composition have been drawn in — and sometimes I leave them until last if I’ve not quite decided exactly what overall effect I wish to achieve.
But the eyes are always the bit I’m most uptight about because they’re the part of the drawing it’s most important to get right, and if I mess up that bit then I might have to start the whole thing again.
However, with a bit of practice, and thinking about how they work, they’re not that difficult.
In ‘How to Draw a Dog’ we started with a circle, which is always a good place to start when drawing anything.
Circles for eyes work, too.
