Is it easier to draw a sitting or standing dog?
For beginners, a sitting dog (like in this tutorial) is often easier because you don't have to worry about the balance of all four legs in motion.
How do I draw different dog breeds?
You can change the shape of the ears (pointed vs floppy) and the length of the snout to represent different breeds.
Should I color my dog realistically?
It's up to you! You can use realistic browns and blacks, or make a 'fantasy dog' with purple fur and green spots!
