How to Draw a German Shepherd – The Right Looks

Drawing German Shepherd puppies can be very easy if you know exactly what to look for. German Shepherds are large dogs. They usually have large double-breasted jackets, large thick coats, round heads, and drooping ears. A female German shepherd (typically) is bigger than her male counterpart by up to 6 inches in height. To understand how to draw a German Shepherd puppy, it helps to have some idea of what makes these dogs unique.

The most basic element in the drawing of German shepherd drawings is that of the double chin. This gives these dogs a very imposing appearance. It helps to remember that a German Shepherd is not a small dog when you consider the size of its head, so you should keep that in mind when drawing its facial features. You should also consider that the double chin is actually a congenital trait. This means that while most dogs will grow out of it, some may never. There is not much that you can do with this feature in the drawing of German shepherd puppies.

A popular element in German shepherd drawings is the flowing mane.

This is actually a double strand of hair that starts on the top of the neck and flows down the back of the neck. A regular German shepherd has straight hair all the way down to his shoulders. This is not the case with the German. They naturally curl their manes, adding an extra dimension of thickness to their hair. This thick hair also tends to stand up at the front of the face, giving the appearance of a pointed muzzle.

The eyes are also a consideration when learning how to draw a German shepherd. Their eyes are larger than those of other breeds. They can seem to have a bulge out at the edge of each eye. The expression on the face can be very cute or very scary. It’s just a part of the personality of this breed.

The chest of a German Shepherd is wide and flat, looking for a very proud and strong dog. In addition to the broad chest, there is a bit of a wag in chest. When learning how to draw a German Shepherd dog, you must pay special attention to this characteristic. While dogs like the Labrador and Doberman Pinschers will have a wide chest, the German Shepherd has a pronounced chest too. This is a very attractive feature, especially when you combine it with the wagging of the mane.

Of course, all of these physical attributes are secondary in drawing a German Shepherd.

Most of us look at her as a sort of aloof, statuesque pet who simply enjoys being the center of attention. This isn’t the case though, and a true German Shepherd can be surprisingly energetic and fun to be around.

One other detail of how to draw a German Shepherd that is important to note is that she has really long legs. In general, German Shepherds have short legs, but this one is particularly notable. They stand on their toes for a very good portion of the time, and their long legs make drawing them that much more difficult.

A final, but important detail to consider when looking at how to draw a German Shepherd is the kind of coat they have. Her coat comes in many colors, and they come in a variety of sizes. At the show level, the smallest and blackest coats win out. If you are trying to get your German Shepherd to look like something she might have been used to seeing in the wild, this can make a big difference. Take a look at your German Shepherd’s coat and you’ll likely agree.
