How to Draw a Cartoon Dog

My take on Dog Bones along with a little tale of a dog named Conrad.

Dog bones make great treats for your pet plus they help keep your dogs teeth clean. You can even buy some that are shaped like a tooth brush. There are special dental bones designed specifically for keeping teeth and gums healthy. They also come in a variety flavors.. Chicken beef, fish, chocolate, you name it. I recently visited the pet store and found a buffet of dog treats. In addition to dog bones, they had dog cookies. These dog treats looked good enough to eat myself, especially the chocolate chip looking ones.

Dog bones come in various sizes. You can make a funny drawing by drawing a small dog with a very big bone in his mouth or a really big dog with a tiny bone.

Dogs have a natural desire to chew on things and dog bones help to satisfy that desire. It gives your dog something safe to chew on other than your Dad's favorite shoes or your favorite toy superhero.

My neighbor has a puppy named Conrad. Conrad loves to chew on things. He comes over to our house and takes things. My kids have already lost a couple of shoes. Conrad took a broom and a mop from our back porch and even ran off with a postal package. It contained my wife's new swimsuit. Unfortunately it had a few extra holes in it thanks to Conrad's dog gone chewing habit. Fortunately Conrad's owner is a nice man and he offered to pay for a new swim suit and despite his bad habits we like Conrad very much because he is a happy and funny dog.

Well, back to drawing a dog bone. A dog bone is a pretty straight forward object to draw. It is a rectangle with a pair of circles on each end. - This one should be easy for you to bite off!
