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

How to draw a Dog in a Christmas Stocking – Step by step for beginners and kids

Let’s draw the face of the dog first.

I’ll draw its round head with a nice semi-circle first.

Now, I’ll draw the bottom part of the dog’s face.

Next, we’ll draw the 2 paws of the dog. Draw 2 circles and then 2 lines in the paws.

Now, we’ll draw the dog’s cute face.

Just draw 2 eyes and a small nose and a mouth like this:

Now, we’ve finished drawing the puppy.

Let’s draw the Christmas stocking.

I already have a post on drawing a full Christmas stocking here. But let’s start with the rim of the stocking.

To complete the stocking, we’ll draw 2 patches.

And finally, draw a small Santa hat on the dog to make the dog look more Christmasy.

Next, I’ll color the dog.

You can color the dog any color, I’m going to color it brown.
