What is the dog breed, Shiba?

Today’s drawing shows one of Japan’s famous breeds: the Shiba. The Shiba has a fox-like look and is a playful, small—to medium-sized dog.

What Is The Cute Shiba Shape?

A Shiba Inu’s unique features are its upright triangular ears and curled tail, frequently characterized as “furry and plume-like.” Their fluffy tail enhances their attractive appearance, black eyes gleaming with intelligence and curiosity. Together, these characteristics give Shiba Inus their incredibly adorable and distinctive shape.

Key Note On Draw A Cute Dog-Shiba Inu:

Use Guide Lines: Visualize your pencil as a delicate embrace from the paper. Outline the guidelines lightly. This way, if you need to draw specific shapes, guidelines will help you accomplish that.
Allow to make mistakes: Mistakes happen, and that’s fine! Even the most talented artists create them. Drawing improves with practice and patience, much like raising a lovable pet. Don’t worry if your Cute Mushroom Cute Mushroom dog’s beak looks more like a banana. Please take a deep breath, smile, and give it another go. You’re capable of handling this.😄
Use the Reference Guide: Many artists use references to help them visualize the drawing. You may print it off and have it close at hand while drawing.

Materials Needed To Draw The Cute Dog:

I drew it on iPad Air and using an Apple pen. But you can use non-digital tools to draw your art.

Non-digital tools can be used:

Pencil: To sketch the outline of the penguin before adding the face and body details.
Eraser
Paper: You can use any paper, but thicker paper is preferable to prevent smudging or tearing.
Coloring tools: To add color to your artwork, use markers, colored pencils, or any other coloring tools you prefer.

How To Draw Cute Dog? Step By Step:

Start with a cross

Use a pencil to draw a cross in the middle.

*hint: slightly tilted to the right side

Outline Shiba’s face.

Draw an oval-shaped face, and erase the line at the ears’ and neck areas.

*hint: draw the bottom part of the oval shape slightly larger than the top part

Add the triangular ears.

Draw a triangular ear on the top of the head. One ear should point toward the left and the other toward the right side.

Add the facial expression.

In the middle of the face, draw a three “∩” as a ruffle line, then draw two ovals as the dog’s eyes, add a larger oval shape in the middle as the dog’s nose, and add a “3” shape as the dog’s mouth.

Add two hands and the body.

Add the back and the feet.

Draw the neck scarf and the curly tail.

*Hint: The neck scarf is an upside-down triangle shape, but you can be creative and make it any shape you want.

Add the eyebrow and inner ears.

Clear up all pencil draft drawings.

Use a marker or a permanent pen to re-trace the drawing, then use the eraser to clean up the entire drawing.

Add the coloring

It is time to bring your cute shiba to life by coloring him.
