dog mouth drawing reference

As you can see here you will begin sketching out the very long and broad dog snout which has a wrinkled bridge. When that is done draw in the forehead and brow. Remember, you are drawing a dog's head from the side view.

Draw the lip of the dogs snout and then draw the wide open growling mouth like you see here which should include the bottom jaw and cheek. Draw in the brow and shape of the eye as well.

All you will do here is sketch out all the wrinkles and creases on the dogs snout, under the eye, and around the opening of the mouth. Next, draw in the nose tip and nostril holes as well as the eyeball.

Now that you have the basics drawn in, you can begin sketching out each tooth from k-9 to the back of the mouth. Draw out the tongue and move to step six.

You are almost done with this lesson. All you have to do is draw out the rest of the teeth, and then add detailing to the middle of the tongue. When that is done draw the other side of the dog's mouth and then proceed on.

Draw the pointed ears and be sure to add some rips or tears on the edges of the ear. You will then draw out the back of the dog's neck and then if you want you can add an earring.

How I Draw Teeth.” (artist, Me) Teeth Tutorial.

Draw the underside of the neck, and then sketch in the muscle definition and detailing like so. When that is done draw the detailing for the ears, and then add some marking inside of the eye. Erase the lines and guides that you drew in step one.

Here is what your drawing looks like when you are all done. Color in your mean looking dog head and then you are all done.

Description: Hey guys, here's a lovely lesson for ya'll! I know I haven't uploaded anything cool for a while, so I decided to draw up a cool dog head, baring it's teeth viciously. This was drawn live a few days ago and I had lots of fun with the teeth and large tongue. Drawing wolf or other canine faces, especially baring their teeth is pretty entertaining. A little tip for when you draw a canine's mouth widely open such as this: be sure to draw the outer part of the mouth first before you move onwards to the teeth. A canine's incisors are very prominent and at the back of the jaw, tapers human type molars. Usually, artists tend to forget about this important aspect, and draw all teeth similar to the incisors. Anyways, I've got to get a roll on and work on other tuts. I hope this one was pretty easy and fun as I had creating it. By practicing the head of a dog, you'll find it easier to draw the animal as a whole. Have fun and don't forget to comment and rate! Let me know if you've tried this drawing yourself.

Last time we learned How to Draw Wolves. Today… we’ll be still drawing them, because dogs are actually domesticated wolves! This means you already know the fundamentals of how to draw a dog, but we need to add some more information to it. This is because in the process of artificial selection dogs have gained special features that you won’t find in wolves. By learning about dogs in general, as well as the specific breeds, you can learn a lot about evolution and creating new realistic species in creature design.

If you saw my tutorial How to Draw Big Cats, this should be easy for you. Dogs, in general, look a bit like a hybrid between a wolf and some big cat. They have muscular, proportional legs, and a harmonious silhouette. They have a well developed chest, and because the legs are not kept so close together, the paws can stay in line. Notice the head and tail position as well.

Dogs can have very different paws depending on the breed. The general rule is that wolf paws look more “bony, ” with the middle fingers clearly longer, and very long, dark claws. Dogs very often have pink claws, shorter and more hidden in fur. Because the middle fingers are not as long, the whole paw seems rounder. In many dogs the dew claw is also removed, because it’s not fully functional and thus prone to injury.

The difference is not very big, so if you don’t draw the paws in detail, just make sure to make them longer for a wolf and shorter/rounder for a dog.

You can use this simple method to draw dog paws. It’s especially useful for small breeds and for drawing the paws from distance.

Simple Dog Drawing To Follow And Practice

There’s not a single recipe for a dog’s body, but each breed is based on the same scheme. You need to start with the “bones”…

We didn’t care about the actual muscles in wolves in the last tutorial, because they’re so fluffy that this part of anatomy is not so important. However, dogs can have various types of fur, and some are so short-haired that you can actually see the outline of the muscles. You don’t need to memorize the scheme below, but it’s good to be familiar with it. Use it as a reference every time you draw a dog, and one day you’ll notice you don’t need it anymore!

You don’t need to draw all the muscles, just leave a subtle suggestion of them with seemingly random lines here and there. Muscles are also important if you want to shade the animal.

How To Draw Dogs

The biggest difference between wolf and dog lies in the face. When you look at a wolf, “pride” and “intelligence” come to mind. In dogs that most prominent feature is “curiosity.” They seem to be more open to contact with humans (which they actually are) with a couple of features:

Let’s take a closer look at these details now. The eyes are the most important here. As you may remember from the last tutorial, wolves (1) have a visibly black outline of the eye. Along with the black third eyelid (a thin membrane that covers the eye when the eyelids are closed) and a black corner of the eye it makes the eye look quite small. Dogs (2) have optically bigger eyes, with a bright third eyelid and not so dark outline of the eye.

Another thing: Wolves tend to have bright eyes with visible pupils (but never blue). Dogs very often have dark brown eyes (3) that make the pupils invisible from a distance.

The fur around the eye is very important in communication. Dogs have very mobile “eyebrows, ” often distinctively colored for a clarity of the signal.

The floppy ears may seem difficult to draw, but they’re actually pretty simple. They’re floppy for one reason: the cartilage on the base of the ear is not hard enough to support them. So just draw a pointed ear, cross it with a line on the base, and let it fall with the power of gravity!

Last thing: The drooping mouth is a very distinctive dog feature, creating that characteristic wide smile. Once you understand it, you can easily turn a wolf head into a friendly dog!

How To Draw A Realistic Dog

Because there is no “default dog” with all the doggy features, we need to take a closer look at specific breeds to learn more about dogs. Of course, I can’t describe them all, so I’ve chose ten breeds we’ll analyze closely.

Let’s start with a breed that superficially resembles wolf the most. Husky has all the dog features we’ve just talked about mixed with a classic wolf look. So this should be the easiest to draw for the start.

Let’s take a closer look at the head. For most people this is the head of a wolf, but you should be able to see the difference: the pointed, not very fluffy ears, shorter muzzle, and big eyes without a wide outline. The round markings above the eyes can be very big and distinctively colored. The lips are drooping very slightly, so huskies are similar to wolves in this regard as well.

Huskies can have similar markings around the shoulder as wolves, but their fur is usually not banded, and there’s a clear, sharp border in the pattern. Some huskies have beautiful, clear blue eyes!

Now we’re going farther away from a wolf look, but still staying quite close. German shepherd has more elongated body than husky, and it’s also been bred for a sloping back.

The head is also very much wolf-like, except the muzzle is pretty wide and slightly humpy. Notice the huge ears and
