Please PAUSE the "How to Draw an Dachshund" video after each step to draw at your own pace.
For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.
strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw two circles as guides for
the dachshund's body. They don't have to be
perfect. They're just guides. The circle on
the left should be smaller. Also pay close
attention to the spacing of the circles. The
farther apart the circles are, the longer your
dog will be.

Step 2: Draw another circle on the top
left side as a guide for the dachshund's head. The circle
should be slightly smaller and floating just
above the dog's body.

Step 3: Draw a vertical line that
splits the dog's head in half as a guide for the
ear. And draw an arc on the left side of the
head as a guide for the dachshund's muzzle.

Step 4: Draw a series of curved lines
that connect the major shapes to form the
dachshund's body. Draw a straight line on the right side
for the dachshund dog's tail.

Step 5: Draw two lines under the dachshund's body
(one below each circle) as guides for the dog's
legs.
