Bull Terrier coloring page
This Bull Terrier sits in profile, with upright ears and its head turned to one side. Clear outlines and plenty of open space inside the body make it a good starting point for trying markings or practicing gentle shadows. Download the drawing free as a JPG to save and print.

How to download and print this coloring page
Unlike drawings of dogs with lots of fur detail, this page lets color create much of the volume. Look at the neck, chest and curve of the back leg: a few changes in tone can define each area without filling the body with details.
- Select Download the Bull Terrier JPG and save the original file to your device. If your browser opens the image, use its save-image option.
- Open the saved JPG and choose A4 paper in portrait orientation. Select “Fit to page” and check that the entire drawing fits within the margins.
- Print in black and white. For crisper lines, try printing the image a little smaller on the sheet instead of enlarging it.
The file measures 1,200 × 1,200 pixels. The button downloads the original JPG. You do not need to take a screenshot or print the website menus.

Three color ideas for this drawing
Follow one of these combinations or mix the parts you like from each. Test your colors on scrap paper before applying them to the drawing.
White fur
Leave most of the paper uncolored. Use very light gray beneath the jaw, on the chest and beside the back leg to keep the dog from looking flat.
Cinnamon with a pale chest
Color the back and head a soft cinnamon brown, leaving the chest white. Add brown to the areas beneath the body.
Your own markings
Sketch a dark gray patch around one eye or across the back. Try its shape very lightly before filling it in.
Coloring tips
Create volume with just a few colors
Choose where the light is coming from. If you imagine it above and to the left, keep that side of the body lighter.
Build shadows in light layers beneath the muzzle, between the legs and near the ground. Blend the edges with your lightest color.
Save black for the nose and small details. A gray shadow beneath the paws will help the dog look as though it is sitting on a surface.
To practice layers and shading before you start, explore the advice in Learn to color.

Before you start coloring
Can I color a white dog without filling the entire shape?
Yes. The white of the paper can be your main color. Soft shadows in the neck folds and around the legs are enough to distinguish the shapes.
Can I download the drawing on my phone?
Yes. Tap the download button and save the JPG. If it opens on another screen, touch and hold the image, then choose save or download; the wording depends on your browser. You can then send the file to your printer.
