After drawing Bluey and the rest of the Heeler family, I couldn’t leave out their mum. So, this time, the focus is on how to draw Chilli Heeler in 17 simple steps. Her calm personality and unique Red Heeler coat make her an interesting character to capture. The process is straightforward and works well even if you’re just getting into cartoon drawing.
