Beginner malinois

6 steps

A circle and an oval, simple legs, tall pointed ears and a tail, then the face and the dark muzzle markings. Six steps.

What you need

A pencil, an eraser and a sheet of paper are enough. Draw lightly at first, then trace the lines you want to keep when your malinois is finished.

  1. Step 1 of 6

    Draw the Malinois head

    Begin with one circle for the head. Leave room in front for the long muzzle and behind for the athletic body.
