Draw a Cute Maltese Dog Face

It really isn't hard to draw a dog if you break it down into simple, easy steps. Try this Maltese puppy.

Steps

Draw a circle.
Draw a smaller circle inside the big one. This is the muzzle. Placement depends on which way you want your Maltese to face.
Add a tiny circle inside the little circle. This is the nose.
Draw two tiny circles on top of the little circle. These are her eyes.
Draw two ovals on either side of the largest circle. These are her ears.
Erase any overlapping lines.
Draw a fuzzy line around her head and lengthen the ears with it until they go down past her muzzle.
Lengthen the hair on her muzzle by adding the fuzzy line.
Add a slightly curved line under the nose. This is her mouth.
Add a little topknot to the top of her head.
Erase the extra lines. Refine the fuzzy lines. Add pupils. Shade as desired.
Finished.

Add your own special touch.
Don't be afraid to experiment.
Add a cute little puppy body.
Color her to make other long haired breeds such as Lhasa apso, Shih tzu or Havanese.
Make sure you draw lightly so it will be easier to erase.

Nervousness and not believing in yourself are the number one causes of bad drawing. So only draw if you are relaxed and having fun. If you're not take a break and step away from the paper and pencil and think about how good your drawing will turn out.
