How to Draw Dog Paw Prints

Here are six easy steps for drawing your own dog paw prints:

Step 1:

Start by drawing a curved line across your page. Don't make it too curvy, just a nice light curve.

Step 2:

Draw circles for the base of your paw prints. This will also act as a reference point to make sure your paw prints are equally shaped and sized.

Step 3:

Draw oval shaped fingers for your paws. At this point you should have a very basic paw print outline to work with.

Step 4:

Curve the base of your paw prints. This is important to make your paw prints look natural.

Step 5:

Point out the paw fingers. This makes your paw prints look like they have claws similar to realistic dog paws. Now you got the perfect trail of dog paws going across your page.

Use a marker to colour in your dog paw prints. You can use a brown felt tip pen to make it look like muddy dog paw prints or black – It's up to you!
