Smiling Under the Mask Cartoon Dog Design for Shirts, Mugs and Totes

Smiling Under the Mask is a single quote design of a cartoon dog figure wearing a light blue face mask, delivered as a PNG file for sublimation, DTF and print-and-cut projects. The artwork pairs the lettering “I’M SMILING under the MASK HUGGING you in my HEART” with three red paw prints and a black collar, drawn in black outline strokes. Its main colours are light blue and teal blue on the mask and dog, with coral red for the paws. You receive one PNG at 300 dpi with a transparent background, so the dog and lettering sit cleanly on any blank. The mood is cheerful and affectionate, with a light pandemic-era feel that suits dog lovers. It works well on t-shirts, mugs, totes, stickers and scrapbook pages. Because the file has a transparent background, you can place it over a coloured shirt or mug without a white box around the design.

Design breakdown

The design is built from flat colour fills under black outline strokes, in five colours: black, white, light blue, teal blue and coral red. The cartoon dog wears a light blue face mask, a black collar and carries three red paw prints, with the quote set in hand-lettered sans-serif capitals. It is cut in 6 layers, which means the file separates into distinct colour areas for layered printing or cutting. The lettering reads “I’M SMILING under the MASK HUGGING you in my HEART”. Fine details in the lettering and outlines are best cut at 4 inches or larger.
