How to Draw Odie The Dog From Garfield (Step-by-step)

Firstly, you need to draw a trapezoid shape fo the head. The rectangle shape with the top end narrower than the bottom of the Odie the dog.

Then you divide the head in to about 3 parts, draw an ellipse shape for the mouth overlap on the head. The ellipse should take up about 2/3.

You will find the intersection point between the mouth’s ellipse and the head. Then draw two ellipses to outline the dog’s mouth edges at these points.

You should create two rectangles forming a V shape with one long side and one short side. Then drawing two overlapping ellipses on top of the rectangles.

You should create two rectangles forming a V shape with one long side and one short side. Then drawing two overlapping ellipses on top of the rectangles.

In this step, you draw a trapezoid for the body featuring a smaller top and a larger bottom of the Odie dog.

Then you draw two ellipses for the front legs and make sure it overlap with the Odie body.

In step 7 you determine the intersection of the front legs and the body. At those points, draw two large ellipses and then draw 2 small ellipses for back legs. Make sure it overlap the body and the front legs.

In this step you draw a triangle for the tail of Odie the dog.

Finally, you follow the outer contours of the shapes. Noting the lines that need to kept and the skipped lines. Soften any corners to keep the shapes organic.

Then you erase original lines and add facial feature for Odie the dog.

Add a line between the intersection of two front legs.

In this final step, you color Odie the dog with him color.
