3. The next step is to draw two small triangles that are located at the top of the previously made circle these triangles will serve as contours for the ears.
4. After that, it is necessary to draw two straight lines, which are located at the bottom of the circle. These straight lines will be the contour of the neck of our animal.
5. Under the straight lines we should draw a large ellipse, which is located vertically. This will serve to further depict the torso.
6. Draw another smaller ellipse in a vertical position that partially intersects the bottom of the figure obtained in step five. This will serve to draw the bottom of the torso and the abdominal area.

5. To the upper right of the large circle, draw a vertical line downward.
6. To the right of the vertical line, draw a sloping line that extends beyond the large circle.
7. Draw an oblique line that connects the two straight lines drawn in the previous two steps. This will be the right ear.
8. To the left of the large circle draw a sloping line.
9. Connect the previous slanting line and a small circle. This will be the left ear.
10. Under painted left and right ear curved lines depict the contour of the neck.
