How to Draw a Cartoon Bulldog

Hello all and welcome back to another drawing tutorial and I am sorry to say that it is going to be on another cartoon character. But have no fear because this cartoon animal is cool, mean, and lean. I am going to show you ""how to draw a cartoon bulldog", step by step. I have two tutorials on a bulldog, one is a lifelike sketch and the other is like a tattoo type of design. This bulldog was requested by a member and when I was filling the request I had to get a mental image of the perfect looking cartoon bulldog. The only dog that came to mind was Spike, the bulldog from Tom & Jerry. So needless to say I was inspired by Spike to sketch out my own bulldog that looks like he is packed with bite and full of power. I colored him in a grayish shade and gave him some devilish looking red eyes to convey power and meanness. I think you will find that this tutorial is an excellent tool to help improve your drawing skills when it comes to learning “how to draw a cartoon bulldog step by step”. I have plenty pf more new lessons coming your way so stay tuned in for more drawing fun.

This is great. Shading is amazing. I have always been able to draw cartoon characters and such but I just in the last month started doing the kind of works i have posted. No joke - I have just learned that I am capable of it lol. I am still learning to shade and still have a hard time with faces, hands and feet. If at all possible I always hide them in my drawings lol. Love this tho.
