How to Draw a Sleeping Puppy

Map the sleeping silhouette with one long oval for a stretched puppy or a near-circle for a curled one. Add the head where it rests against the paws or flank, then check that the spine flows smoothly into the hips. Hide the far legs when the pose overlaps rather than forcing every paw into view.

Relaxed details sell the nap: use gently closed eyes, a loose ear lying against the floor and a soft mouth line. A bent forepaw under the muzzle creates weight, while a tail tucked beside the hind legs keeps a curled pose compact. Add coat texture sparingly so the restful shape stays readable.
