🐶 How to draw a dog

For a dog the head shape is decisive: a round head with two drooping floppy ears is almost always recognised correctly.

Step by step

  1. Draw a round head.
  2. Attach two long, oval floppy ears left and right – pointing downward.
  3. Add eyes, a round nose and a mouth with a small tongue.
  4. Add an elongated body and four short legs.
  5. A tail curving upward completes the silhouette.

Tips for high recognition rates

Why these features matter is explained on the About the AI page: the neural network looks at the typical shape, not at clean lines.

Common mistake

Drawing upright pointed ears instead of floppy ones – that tips the sketch straight towards a cat or fox. Let the ears hang clearly downward.
