Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Labrador Retriever" 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.

Step 1: Draw two circles next to each other as a guide for the labrador's body. One circle should be a bit bigger than the other, and they don't have to be perfect. They're just guides.

Step 2: Draw a guide for the dog's head above and to the right of the bigger circle. The guide for the labrador retriever's head is just a smaller circle with an arc to the right of it.

Step 3: Draw in the rest of the lab's body by connecting all the shapes with a few lines.

Step 4: Draw guides for the labrador retriever's legs as three curved lines under the big circles.

Step 5: Draw the dog's tail as a curved line on the left side of the body.
