Step 15 (optional): For a cleaner look, erase as much as you can of the initial guide lines. Don't worry about erasing all of the guides.
It's okay to leave some behind. Also re-draw
any final sketch lines that you may have
accidentally erased.

Final Step (optional): Add some shading
to your dachshund dog drawing to give it more dimension and
volume. Pick the direction of the light source
when shading so that the shadows are
consistent with it. Vary the pressure on your
pencil to get different degrees of tonal
value.
Add a cast shadow underneath the
dachshund dog. This helps ground the dog so it
doesn't appear to be floating.
You can add more
value throughout your drawing for extra
detail. It's a good idea to use reference to
be as accurate as possible. Remember to PAUSE
the video any time you need help along the
way.
