Ever draw a dog and think… why does this little guy look like he has zero thoughts behind those eyes? 😅 Today we’re fixing that. I’m breaking down how to draw dogs with real personality using anatomy references, behavior cues and simple expression tricks that instantly make your art feel alive.

We’ll look at dogs like Great Danes, Chihuahuas, Salukis and Bulldogs, compare their anatomy and talk about why the structure matters- but the personality matters even more. You’ll see how tiny tweaks to the eyes, eyebrows, ears. tail and mouth change the entire vibe of a dog, from shy to confident energy.

I’ll also walk you through common mistakes artists make when drawing dogs like blank expressions stiff bodies and over-rendering that kills the life in your sketch. And yes, we’re calling out Ein the Corgi (with love).
