These simple cartoon drawings of bulldogs provide good examples and outlines for beginner artists to copy easily and successfully. Notice how there is no shading or much detail to make the copying process complicated.
For some reason, I always imagine an animated bulldog to be wearing a bowler hat - maybe that comes from the television shows I watched when I was a kid.
The bulldog's solid shape automatically makes him a figure of authority, particularly in cartoons.
On this drawing, I have left out marks and wrinkles on the face so you can take note of the main lines that are required to establish a good likeness. Copying is important when you're learning to draw because your observation skills strengthen with every attempt you make.
When you practice this type of exercise, you have the freedom to add details where you think appropriate and from that experience, you are more likely to remember what works and what doesn't.
These bulldog cartoons are drawn in a basic outline style. It doesn't matter if you add extra effects or if you prefer to leave it like this, you are the artist and all decisions are based on your taste.
Drawing is a very satisfying hobby and I found I progressed at a steady rate by repeatedly practicing very basic forms like the examples shown here.
I haven't had any formal art training and I am proud to be a self taught artist.

If you have a desire to draw, all you have to do is find subjects that interest you and you won't look back.
I know that this time next year, with all the practice I am doing, that I should be able to draw with a blindfold on! Well, that's my dream, anyway.
Drawing droopy eyelids gives a sorrowful look to cartoon characters. I suppose this dude can't help but look a bit sorrowful with all that saggy skin over his body -- I don't think I'd like it! :)
Animations are easy to draw, due to the amount of white space in and around them and these cartoon drawings of bulldogs are no exception.
By white space, I mean that no shading is required and there is no busy background to distract you. We all recognize the simplicity of cartoony figures instantly so it's a real drawcard for trainees in the world of art.
Please feel free to use any of these images for your own personal projects or practice. I wish you all the very best while you explore various topics and have amazing revelations about your true capabilities.
