Ever hit a snag while sketching a Schnauzer?
The odds are they you’ve never drawn a Schnauzer before.
If that’s the case, it’s time to pick up a pencil and try doodling this most distinctive of dogs that lends itself very well to cartooning.
Before we go any further, what do you think are three features of Schnauzers?

There are three different breeds of Schnauzer:
miniature
standard
giant
Key Features
Schnauzers have a powerful, athletic build. So aim for a square or rectangular shape overall.
Don’t stint on the eyebrows! Make sure your Schnauzer has a splendid pair of brows.
The whiskers and beard also help to set a Schnauzer aparts, so be generous with the penstrokes.
Along with other breeds such as Dobermans, Rottweilers etc, Schnauzers used to have their tails docked. Not anymore, so don’t forget the tail.
The ears can be either cropped or uncropped.
I drew this recently to help illustrate an article on dog walking posture. Feel free to use it as a reference while drawing your own Schnauzers.
