GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper, or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.1) Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the chosen drawing. 2) From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line equally dividing the shape. 3) Draw another horizontal line equally dividing the upper half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line equally dividing the bottom half of the rectangle. 4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.

STEP 1. Mark off the width and height of the picture. Draw an oval for the head of the boxer dog. Draw a line, which will act as the center of its head.

STEP 2. Draw the shape of the dog’s chest. Divide this oval into two parts.

STEP 3. Use guidelines to define places for the legs, neck and eyes.

STEP 4. Sketch the legs and lips of the dog.

STEP 5. Add the toes, nose, lower jaw, ears and tail of the boxer dog.

STEP 6. Work on the whole figure, paying special attention to detail. Draw the eyes.

STEP 7. Add the eyebrows and more detail.

STEP 8. Contour the boxer dog, trying to vary the thickness and darkness of the line. Add more detail and add the ground. Erase all guidelines.
