Love the “Tom and Jerry” cartoons? Ever wanted to draw the characters yourself? Spike, the hostile bulldog always after Tom, is one of the trickiest characters to illustrate. Here are the step-by-step instructions for drawing a neat picture of Spike. The instructions can also come handy if you need to draw a cartoon dog for an art class project or a holiday craft.
Step 1

- Start working by drawing the outline of Spike’s head as shown in the first picture. It is a vital step as a wrong or uneven head shape can ruin the whole drawing.
