How to Draw a Bulldog
- Draw the main outlines.
Mark the position of the head, thoracic region and pelvis. To do this, draw three circles of different sizes.
- Add the outline of the back and determine the position of the limbs.
At the top, draw a smooth connecting line between the pelvis and the thoracic region. Draw thin, straight lines at the bottom to define the position of the front and hind legs.
- Depict the elements of the muzzle.
Draw two small eyes that are wide apart. Place the semicircular nose almost at eye level.
- Sketch out the front of the muzzle.
In this step you have to draw the folds. Use smooth short lines and try to correctly depict the shape of the folds.
- Draw the ears.
On the sides of the head draw small ears, the ends of which hang down. This shape of the ears once again emphasizes the square shape of the head.
- Depict the folds.
Detail the face of the dog. Use thin short lines and add small creases on the forehead and sides of the head.
- Add the front paws.
Use the guidelines you drew earlier as a guide and give the front legs the desired thickness.
- Depict the lower parts of the front paws.
Continue the lines and draw the feet. Using short strokes, depict individual fingers and draw sharp claws on each finger.
- Sketch out the hind legs.
Draw a line of the belly, which smoothly passes into the contour of the hind leg. The hind legs have a wide base and taper downwards.
- Draw the lower parts of the hind legs.
The feet on the hind legs have the same shape as on the front, so you can easily complete this step of drawing.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Compare your drawing with our example and if you find any inaccuracies, then correct them at this stage. Carefully remove all auxiliary lines.
- Color the bulldog.
For coloring, you will need different shades of brown and black. Add highlights to the eyes and don’t forget to add shadows where necessary, this way the drawing will look more realistic.
