4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.
Mark off the width and height of the picture. Draw two ovals for the bull’s head and body.
Draw a line through the centre of the bull’s head.
Draw the shapes of the bull’s body and neck. Add a guideline for its tail.
Define with guidelines where the bull’s legs will be, as well as its mouth and horns.
Outline the shapes of the legs, snout, and tail. Draw its horns in detail.
Sketch the bull’s ear, eye, nose, and tail switch. Refine the shape of its legs.
