A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main forms

    Set a low rounded torso above a short ground line.

  2. Build the structure

    Attach the broad head and four short legs, allowing the far pair to overlap.

  3. Develop selected details

    Separate the muzzle and paws with a few controlled gray planes.

A small thing to tryBalance the heavy torso over the short legs before refining the face.
