  For the final part, of this Photoshop tutorial to draw a dog, we're going to draw his body. So to start off, make a new layer and path and then create 2 points, making the line have a slight curve. Drag the bottom half of the directional line upwards, using the convert point tool, as shown in image b).
   
 
a)   b)
   
Step 5.
Create the points, shown in the images below, to form the left foot.
a)   b)
Step 5.
You should end up with a path like this.

Step 5.
Next, make a selection, using the path, and then fill the layer with black. Contract the selection by 1 pixel and then delete the contents. Use the rectangular marquee tool to delete the right hand line, as shown in image b)
a)   b)
Step 5.
Duplicate the outline, flip it horizontally and then merge the two layers together. Use the magic wand to make a selection inside the outline and then fill it with white. To create the hind legs, make a new layer and path and then make the points shown in images b) and d).
a)   b)   c)
Step 5.
Continue to create the hind leg under the front leg layer.
a)   b)    
Step 5.
Next fill, as we did with the front leg, the selection with black, contracting it by 1 pixel and then filling it with white. You might need to nudge the layer to the left a bit to make it more visible.
a)   b)    
Step 6.
 
Finally duplicate the leg for the right hand side and then you're done! A dog drawn in Photoshop!
