Let's start drawing from the head, for this draw a circle and auxiliary lines that go in the middle. Next, draw a big nose from the intersections of the lines down and the muzzle.

Step 3. Outline the body and paws of the bulldog.
We show the body of the bulldog in a circle, which is much larger than the head, and schematically draw the front paws.
