This guide will walk you through the simple steps of creating a Border Collie outline drawing.
Materials
- Paper
- Pencil
- Eraser
Step 1: The Head
- Start with a circle: Draw a circle for the head.
- Add the nose and muzzle: Below the circle, draw a small triangle for the nose. Connect the nose to the circle with two curved lines to form the muzzle.
- Draw the eyes: Place two small circles for the eyes above the muzzle.
- Outline the ears: Draw two slightly curved triangles for the ears on top of the head, extending out from the circle.
Step 2: The Body
- Draw the neck: From the bottom of the head, draw a curved line connecting to the body.
- Form the body: Draw an elongated oval shape below the neck for the body. The oval should be slightly wider in the middle.
- Add the tail: Draw a long, curved line extending from the back of the body.
Step 3: The Legs
- Front legs: Draw two curved lines extending downwards from the chest area, forming the front legs.
- Back legs: Draw two curved lines extending downwards from the back of the body, forming the hind legs.
Step 4: Detailing
- Add details to the face: Add small details like the mouth, eyebrows, and a small line for the nose.
- Define the coat: Draw a few lines along the body to suggest fur.
- Add the toes: Draw small circles or ovals for the toes at the end of each leg.
Step 5: Clean Up and Shade
- Erase any unwanted lines: Carefully erase any stray lines or mistakes.
- Shading (optional): You can add shading to your drawing to create more dimension and depth. Use light strokes to add shadows under the neck, ears, and legs.
