8. Detail your bulldog. Both the Bulldog and the Pitbull are very muscular. Draw a curved line across the chest to give him a muscular appearance. Use curved lines to enclose spots on his back and limbs. Draw curved lines across the face to indicate the snout and cheeks. Use "U" shaped lines to craft the nose, and enclose large ovals to form the eyes. Use curved lines to enclose a pointed brow above each eye.

Learn More About The Bulldog Drawing
The bulldog is a short, stocky dog bred for centuries in Britain. It has a short nose and folds of skin that give it a wrinkled and frowning appearance, earning it the nickname "sourmug."
Originally, the bulldog was a fierce predator used for fighting bulls. When these dogfighting events were banned in 1835, the breed nearly died out.
However, enthusiasts kept it going, selecting for a loveable rather than ferocious personality. Today's bulldogs are gentle pets and guardians.
Bulldogs are a fond mascot of England and the United Kingdom. During World War II, bulldogs represented Winston Churchill's firm stand against the Nazi regime. A bulldog named Venus was the mascot of one British Royal Navy ship, and Handsome Dan represented Yale University.
The bulldog is also the official mascot of the U.S. Marine Corps, and bulldogs live on many marine bases. A number of sporting teams have also adopted a bulldog mascot.
