I draw a lot of dogs, and also seeing as I run a course on drawing cartoons dogs, thought it would be useful to share some of the different types of dog ears.
V-Shaped Ears
The outside of the ear folds forward into a triangular shape.
Breeds include:
Labrador Retrievers, Vizsla, Golden Retrievers.
2. Folded Ears
The ears extend away from the face and then fold down.
You could say they’re a bit like curtains!
Breeds include:
Bloodhound, Field Spaniel.
3. Bat Ears
Upright ears that angle slightly outwards beyond the side of the face.
Breeds include:
French Bulldog, Chihuahua, Pembroke Corgi.
4. Prick Ears
Erect, upright ears similar to wolves.
Breeds include:
German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Yorkshire Terrier.
