German shepherd puppy
How to draw a German shepherd puppy? When breeding this breed of dogs at the very beginning it was supposed to be used as shepherds. Then this breed began to be used mainly for the border service or in various rescue operations. Let's look at an interesting and original way of drawing a German shepherd puppy in stages with a pencil. To do this, we need to prepare a sheet of A4 paper, a pencil and an eraser. This method differs from the usual one in that for each image element we will have a special place on paper.
Take a ruler, a pencil and find the most extreme and highest point in our drawing. These will be 2 cm indentations from above and from the side. From this place, down the sheet (vertically), draw three segments of 6 cm. Horizontally draw 6 segments of 4 cm. Divide the topmost square again in half in width (2 cm 2 segments) and in height - 3 segments 2 cm.
Next, we look at our drawn grid and clearly see where and how much of the dog will be. With this method of drawing, all the puppy's elements (head, trunk, paws, tail, eyes) will be proportional to each other.
When drawing a German shepherd, we remember its distinguishing features, such as color, high growth and ears in the form of standing triangles. Also consider the peculiarity of drawing ears in dogs. They should be slightly higher, closer to the crown, at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the head.

With an extended mouth, a doggie usually looks sad and sad, and vice versa, when shortening the upper lip, it becomes more cheerful, in a better mood.
