13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a bulldog in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.

Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: jowly head.

Step 1: Jowly head
Near the top draw a big soft egg head, flat on top and very wide at the cheeks.
Tip Leave room underneath for the body and legs.
Step 2: Ears and wrinkles
Draw a small folded ear on each top corner of the head. Add 2 rainbow wrinkles in between.
Step 3: Eyes and patch
Draw 2 big round eyes across the middle, with dots and shines. Add a soft patch around the right eye.
Tip Huge eyes wide apart make the squashed face.
Step 4: Jowls and nose
Under the eyes draw a wide snout with 2 droopy jowls at the bottom. Add a big black triangle nose.
Tip Rub out the patch line inside the snout.
Step 5: Chin and teeth
From the nose draw a line down to the jowls. Below, add a U chin with 2 teeth pointing up.
Tip Rub out the jowl lines inside the teeth.
Step 6: Stocky body
Start on each cheek. Draw a wide C down to near the bottom, bowing out a little. Join them below.
Step 7: Collar and tag
Under the chin draw 2 sagging curves from the left side across to the right. Hang a round tag below.
Step 8: Front legs
From the collar, draw 2 legs down to round paws, with a gap between them. Add toe lines.
Tip Rub out the body line inside the legs.
Step 9: Back paws and tail
Draw a hill paw at each bottom corner. From the right hip, draw a short stub tail.
Step 10: The ground
Start at the left. Draw a long line under all 4 paws across to the right.
Step 11: Cream fur
Colour the fur cream, around the ears, snout, chin, patch and collar. Leave the eyes and teeth white.
Step 12: Red collar
Colour the collar red. Go over all your lines.
Step 13: Brown patch, grey snout
Colour the patch and both ears brown. Colour the snout and chin grey, around the nose and teeth.
