Draw the Head
First, draw a rounded shape to form the shiba inu’s head. Then, outline the snout near the base of the head.

Form the Face
Create two circular eyes. Now, draw a small triangle nose in the center of the snout. Then, add the curved shape of its smiling mouth.
-
Add the Ears
Draw short, curved ears on both sides of the top of the shiba inu’s head.

Outline the Fur Patches
Create small ovals above the eyes to outline the shiba inu’s fur patches.

Form the Front Legs
Form two upright front legs and outline the paws.
-
Add the Hind Legs
Behind the front legs, draw the shiba inu’s hind legs and hind paws as shown.
-
Draw the Scarf
Wrap a scarf around the shiba inu’s neck and add the tied knot. Make sure to erase any overlapping lines.
-
Outline the Body
Outline the shiba inu’s furry body in between the front legs.

Color the Kawaii Shiba Inu Drawing
Use black to fill in the eyes and nose. Now, add a small white oval inside each eye for some shimmer. Color the inner ears pink and the mouth red. Next, use green for the scarf. Then, use a cream color for the snout, cheeks, chest, paws, and fur patches above the eyes. Finally, shade the rest of its fur with light brown.
