Step 1: Outline Basic Shapes
Dog’s Body and Head: Start with an oval shape for the dog's body and a smaller circle on top for the head.
Ears: Draw two floppy semi-oval shapes on either side of the head for the ears.
Legs: Use four small rectangles attached to the body for the legs.

Step 2: Add Facial Details
Eyes: Inside the head circle, draw two small oval shapes for the eyes.
Nose: Draw a small upside-down triangle for the nose near the bottom center of the head circle.
Mouth: Draw a small line extending from the base of the nose for the mouth.

Step 3: Add Legs and Tail
Feet: At the end of each leg rectangle, add small ovals for the feet.
Tail: Draw a curved line extending from one end of the oval body to represent the tail.

Step 4: Refine Shapes with Details
Ears: Add a few lines on the ears to show creases.
Body and Legs: Smooth out the connection between the legs and body for a more natural appearance.
Fur Texture: Sketch short lines along the body and head to depict fur texture.

Step 5: Add Shading and Final Touches
Shading: Lightly shade under the body and inside the ear edges.
Eyes: Add small highlights within the eyes for a sparkling effect.
Tail and Feet Shading: Add slight shading to the tail and feet to give depth to the drawing.
