Start by drawing a rounded shape to outline the head of the cute puppy.

To form the face of the puppy, draw two shaded circles for the eyes. Then, draw a rounded triangle and attach two curvy lines at the bottom to create the upper jaw. Attach a line curving upwards to complete the mouth.
Step 3: Add the Ears
Attach two bumpy shapes to the head of the puppy to form its ears.
Step 4: Draw the Body
Form the body of the puppy by drawing an elongated oval shape. Attach a small bumpy C-shape at the end to depict the tail.

Now, let’s add some legs to the puppy. Draw four limbs attached to the body, similar to the illustration. Don’t forget to add curvy lines at the ends of the legs to emphasize the toes.
Step 6: Complete the Cute Puppy Drawing
Bring your fluffy little puppy to life! Use a red crayon to fill in the mouth, a dark brown crayon to shade the nose, and a brown crayon to color the fluffy fur.
