Many are limited to the image of a house or flowers. However, if fate has not endowed you with the talent of an artist, this does not mean that you will have to give up the pleasure of picking up a pencil or paint and leaving a true image of a dog on paper. There are several ways to learn how to draw a shepherd dog.
It is necessary
- - sketchbooks;
- - art books;
- - books on biology;
- - the pencils;

Instructions
Step 1
Find a picture of a shepherd you like and draw it into small cells. If this is a drawing from a book, first scan or make a copy so as not to spoil the image. Prepare a sheet of paper marked with the same number of cells - they should be clear, but not very bright. It is better if their size coincides with the size of the cells into which you divided the drawing of the shepherd - so you do not have to think about changing the proportions. Transfer the drawing to paper according to the resulting small details, and then paint so that the lattice is not visible.
Step 2
Find a book with lessons in the store or through the search on the Internet that explains how to draw a shepherd dog. The only drawback of this method is that you will need to start with the image of the smallest details, which will then need to be erased, gradually moving on to the very drawing of the shepherd dog. However, after several attempts, you will be able to draw a shepherd dog without performing any preliminary operations.
Step 3
Sketch all the shepherd dogs you meet - not entirely, but individual parts of the body. Spend a few days drawing tails or paws, pay attention to the head, ears - the more elements you select, the better. Gradually, you will begin to feel the patterns according to which the body of the shepherd dog is folded, and your hand will automatically begin to correctly outline the contours of the body of this graceful dog.
Step 4
Find friends who have a shepherd dog and watch her. Special attention should be paid to two points: dynamics and statics. Learn the anatomy of the animal, as well as how the outlines of the muscles change during movement, how the joints are controlled. Pay close attention to your dog's facial expressions.
Step 5
Explore encyclopedias devoted not only to the art of drawing, but also telling about the features of the body structure of animals and in particular shepherds. Start learning how to draw a shepherd dog from the image of its skeleton, muscular system, and then proceed to sketching a real dog.
