Lots of Dogs

Want to fill your screen with a bunch of goofy, fluffy, silly, and super cute dogs in Procreate? In this tutorial, I’ll take you through every single step. We’re doing the same fun process we did in the “screen full of cats” video—only now it’s all about the dogs. We’ll start with loose blob shapes, turn them into fun little characters with big noses, weird ears, derpy eyes, and then bring them to life with colors, patterns, shading, and highlights. It’s super relaxed, no pressure to be perfect. Just have fun, get creative, and fill your canvas with personality-packed pups!

Brushes used:

  • 6B Pencil
  • Studio Pen
  • Round Brush

Canvas Size:

  • 2000 x 3000 pixels

Skills Learned:

  • Start with loose, simple shapes
    You begin with overlapping blobs—some tall, some round, some peeking from behind. No need to think too hard, just fill the canvas!
  • Build quirky, expressive faces
    Mix and match ears, eyes, snouts, mouths, and fur to create a fun variety of dog personalities—from confused to mischievous to full-on floofball.
  • Inking with style and pressure play
    Using the Studio Pen, you trace over your sketches while playing with pressure to get dynamic, playful line variation.
  • Organize colors and patterns in layers
    By using separate layers for different dog colors, you can easily add spots, patches, ears, and snouts with freedom and control.
  • Add depth with shading and highlights
    You’ll use multiply layers for shadows and a screen layer for those subtle bright touches—perfect for snouts and shiny eyes.
