A way into the drawing

Establish the main shapes
Place the head above a larger oval haunch.
Connect the structure
Connect the ears, front paws and broad rear foot.
Develop the drawing
Refine the clear outer contour, add only the most useful interior details and place a few small local shadows. Leave most of the paper open.
