I am currently using an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil to create my digital art.

But you can use any tool – a pen and paper or color pencils or Copic markers or Photoshop because the drawing method remains the same.

How to draw a kawaii corgi – Step by step for beginners

I always start with very easy shapes so that anybody of any age can draw this.

So, let’s start by drawing a rough sketch first – this will make it super easy to draw the corgi.

If you’re drawing this traditionally – make sure the rough sketch is with pencil and is done very lightly so you can erase it later!

I’m going to start by drawing a rough sketch of the head first. I’m going to use simple shapes like an oval for the head and triangles for the corgi’s ears.

Next, we are going to draw the neck of the corgi. I’m going to draw quick scruffy lines to make it look like the corgi is nice and fluffy.

Next, we’ll draw the front 2 legs of the corgi – just draw 2 sausage shapes below the neck like this.

Next, we will draw a small curve at the back and continue the curve in the front – this is going to be the behind and the back leg of the corgi – it’s okay if it’s messy. We will correct it when drawing the final corgi.

Let’s start with the actual drawing now. I’m going to lighten the sketch layer and start drawing the corgi.

We will start with a simple curve and the 2 triangles for ears:

Next, we are going to draw the sides of the corgi’s face and add some lines to make him look furry and fluffy.

Easy, isn’t it?

Next, draw 2 eyes and a nose on the corgi like this:

And then we’ll draw the muzzle of the corgi by drawing a cute “w” shape and 2 more triangles inside the ears.

Next, we’ll draw the neck and make sure it’s very fluffy.

Now, draw the two front legs – when drawing the toes, just make sure you draw a little squiggly line to indicate the paws. Don’t forget to draw the big curve between its legs.

Lastly, draw the behind and the back leg like so:

We’re done!

Let’s color the corgi now.

Add brown patches like this on the corgi’s body. The pattern usually remains the same for all corgis.

Now, color the feet white.

Next, I’ll add 2 blush spots on the corgi’s feet to make it look cute and color the inner ears pink.

Draw kawaii characters and make stickers!

My old bud Ilaria (we’ve been friends on Instagram back when I had Instagram) created this course! I’ve watched her grow from 0 followers, and I’m so, so proud of her!

And believe it or not, there is not 1 single good online course about learning how to draw kawaii art and then making physical stickers on the internet. I’ve been looking for a course like this for a long, long time.

And it’s finally here!!!

You can create your own stickers and print them and sell them on Etsy or any space! She goes into detail about how to draw the characters.

This is by far one of the best courses I’ve taken that is so cute and so educational.

The course is in English, and it’s amazing!

What do you need?

A sketchbook, Photoshop, and a graphic tablet so that you can draw the kawaii characters. If you want to make stickers, you’ll need a printer and sticker sheets.

Even if you don’t want to make stickers and just draw kawaii characters, this course is perfect!

And if you are really keen on improving your drawings or you want to create cute kawaii animals and kawaii people, check out this second course by Sara.

Sara teaches you how to draw anything in a nice kawaii style. I really love these kinds of courses because they’re so easy to learn and it’s very easy to get clients because this is a really relatable drawing style.

It is in Italian but it comes with subtitles and it’s really easy to follow.
