      DRAWING THE DOG

      When drawing dogs, first make the outside oval line to get the swing of the head. Then draw the cross line for the swing of the eyes. An oval or a circle may be used as a guide for the dog’s muzzle. When drawing any animal, always start with the eyes to catch the desired expression. Then block in the nose, mouth and chin, forehead, and swing of the ears. Next block in the forepaws, body, hind paws, and tail.

      The ears occupy a large area on the side of the head. Study carefully how the shape, size, and placement of the ears differ with each breed. The ears revolve on an axis: forward when at rest, upright when alert, and often backward when angry or frightened. The hearing apparatus is inside the skull, the outside of the ear being a protection and a decoration as well. Dogs’ ears are most interesting.

      The tip of the nose is smaller in length than the distance between the eyes. Again, dogs’ noses vary with the different breeds. Some are small and deep-set, and some are long and broad.

      Dogs’ eyes also vary with the breed. As there are now registered with The American Kennel Club 105 different breeds of dogs, all points are most variable. Dogs’ eyes have many changes in expression, and the shapes of the eyes vary according to the breed. Each particular dog’s eyes must be carefully studied. The rim around the eye is definite in its design.

      The muzzle of the dog is soft and flexible and
