How to Draw a Border Collie
- Prepare the base.
With the help of several round shapes, indicate the position of the head, thoracic region and pelvic region.
- Add other guidelines.
Use thin lines to define the position of the limbs and tail. Draw connecting lines between the main parts of the dog’s body.
- Start detailing the head.
With the help of smooth lines depict the front of the head, draw the nose, the wide open mouth and the protruding tongue. With the help of jagged lines draw the outline of the fur on the dog’s head.
- Draw the rest of the elements of the head.
Depict the pointed ears that point in opposite directions. Draw the eyes in the form of two ovals and add the outline of the fur on the sides of the head.
- Sketch out the fur on the chest.
Continue adding the fur on the dog’s body, just as you did in the previous step, and with the help of small lines draw individual spiky strands of different lengths.
- Depict the outline of the rest of the body.
Sketch out the hair on the back with uneven lines. Draw the fluffy tail and add the strands of fur on the belly.
- Draw the front paws.
Focus on the auxiliary lines and depict the front paws. Please note that the lateral parts of the paws have thick hair. Draw the fingers at the bottom.
- Add the hind legs.
With the help of smooth curved lines draw the outline of one hind leg and draw the visible part of the second hind leg. Draw the fingers at the bottom.
- Sketch out the fur.
On the dog’s body, draw curved lines of varying lengths to depict individual strands of the fur and give the drawing a more realistic look.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Look carefully at the drawing and if you notice mistakes, you can immediately correct them. Carefully remove the lines of unnecessary lines, while trying not to affect important lines.
