The Beagle as a child-friendly hunting dog

It always fascinates us how diverse the world of dogs is. Today we have chosen the Beagle to draw. These dogs are considered lively and exceptionally friendly. They get along well with other dogs as well as most people. Especially children are very fond of them. However, since the Beagle was bred as a hunting dog, it has a strong hunting instinct and would prefer to immediately pursue any exciting scent.

How to draw the dog

First, take a look at our drawing instructions from start to finish before you begin. Then start with three circles. Pay close attention to how big the individual circles are and how close together they are. This is important to capture the stature of the Beagle. Also, in the next step with the feet, make sure they are neither too close to the body nor too far away. Otherwise, your Beagle might end up looking more like a Greyhound (very long legs) or like a Dachshund (very short legs). Go through the instructions step by step and add the new, red elements with a pencil.

Making the Beagle recognizable

There are so many different breeds of dogs and an even greater number of mixed breeds. It’s not a big deal if your drawing ends up looking a bit more like another breed, because who says there couldn’t be a dog exactly like that somewhere? If it’s important to you that your dog is recognized as a Beagle, pay attention to the following features:

• the hanging, short ears
• not too long legs
• a short, dense coat – unlike the Border Collie, you shouldn’t draw the Beagle with jagged strokes to make it fluffy
• a typically speckled coloring of white, brown, and dark brown/black
• muzzle, legs, and tail tip mostly white

Enjoy drawing!
