How to Draw a French Bulldog

1. Begin by drawing a circle. This will form the dog's head.

2. Erase portions of the circle, and fill them with two curved lines. These indicate the bulldog's sagging jowls. Texture each jowl with several curved lines.

3. Draw the dog's nose. Draw a highly rounded inverted triangle, and indicate the nostrils by drawing small spirals. Draw a curved line above the nose to contour the muzzle.

4. Draw the eyes, erasing as necessary. For each eye, draw a large circle, Inside it, enclose a shape using a large and small "C" shaped line. Draw a curved line above each eye to indicate the brow.

5. Draw the bulldog's ears, erasing as necessary. For each ear, draw a long curved line and double it back upon itself. Contour the side of the ear with an additional curved line.

6. Draw a long curved line from the head and double it back upon itself to enclose the dog's irregularly shaped body. Use a short curved line to enclose the stubby tail.

7. Draw the legs, erasing as necessary. Outline each rear leg using a long curved line. Draw short curved lines at the tip of the paw to indicate the toes.

8. Draw the foreleg, erasing as necessary. Outline the leg using a pair of curved lines. Enclose the toes using overlapping "U" shaped lines. Contour the shoulder with another short curved line.

9. Draw the remaining foreleg. Outline the leg with a pair of curved lines, and draw overlapping "U" shaped lines to form the toes.
