I'm not sure, but if you don't want him to look fat, make the circle a little bit more slim, like more of an oval shape.

Snoopy has many friends and takes on many pursuits in the Peanuts series. If you want to add embellishments of his doghouse or Woodstock the bird standing next to him, it would help portray him even better.
Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
Be careful when you erase so you don't erase your drawing.
Use a soft, white eraser.
