How to Draw Border Collie
Step 1:
Start with a simple outline of the dog’s head. Sketch a curved line for the top of the head, a semi-circular shape for the cheek and jaw, and a curved line for the snout.
Step 2:
Add tufts of fur by sketching jagged lines around the head outline for a fluffy appearance.
Step 3:
Outline the key facial features, including the inner ear fur, the eye patch, and the mouth. Draw a rounded triangle for the nose and a line for the mouth, with the tongue peeking out if desired.
Step 4:
Draw the eyes, and nose details. For the eyes, sketch two circles and add smaller circles inside for the pupils, leaving a small white dot for the glint.
Step 5:
Enhance the fur’s texture with more detailed lines to create the fluffy look typical of a border collie.
Step 6:
Sketch the body starting from the neck, making sure to continue the fluffy texture. Draw the chest.
Step 7:
Sketch the back, extending into the hind leg as depicted in the picture.
Step 8:
Continue the body drawing by adding the front legs, making sure they have volume and the fur texture matches the rest of the drawing. Proceed with the hind legs and the tail, paying attention to maintaining the fluffy texture.
Step 9:
Refine the details of the fur, adding depth and layers to the coat. Sketch the fur direction according to the body’s shape.
Step 10:
Add color to your border collie. Border collies typically have distinctive coloring with white, black, and sometimes brown fur. Start with the darker colors for the patches around the eyes, ears, and back. Then, use lighter shades for the rest of the body, blending the colors to create a natural look.
