If you’ve been looking for a simple guide on how to draw a cartoon bull with a kind smile and a friendly look, you’re in the right place. I’ll go over the key shapes and little details that help keep the character looking friendly without making it too complicated.
Important Details to Notice When Drawing the Bull
- Large round eyes placed wide apart, tilted slightly to look welcoming.
- Wide, smooth nose with open nostrils.
- Big, rounded muzzle with a ring in the center for extra character detail.
- Small arched eyebrows that give the face a soft and cheerful expression.
- Upward curved horns that follow a symmetrical line.
- Ears pointing slightly outwards, relaxed.
- Simple, smooth lines for the body and neck folds to keep the design light and clean.
If you want to continue practicing after this drawing, you could also try making a serious bull, a chibi cow, a fluffy sheep or a cute goat next. They share a lot of basic shapes, but small tweaks in the features give them very different looks.
How the Drawing Steps Are Organized
I kept the drawing guide simple by using a clear color code that shows what to work on in each step:
- Red Color: highlights the lines to draw in the current step
- Black Color: shows everything you have already completed
- Grey Color: lays out the basic underlying sketch for proportions
