How to draw a cow step by step - Let's get started!

 

At this point you should have a solid shape representing the body of the cow. It's time to add the legs (not in full detail yet!) and start sketching in the position of the eyes and nose of the cow on the head. To do it draw some very sketchy legs first. remember the posterior ones that are away from you are smaller than the front ones. So draw them accordingly.

 

Also use construction lines to schematically position eyes and nose on the head.

If you have followed the steps you should be able to see your cow emerging clearly from the sketched lines.

 

Draw the horns and ears and sketch in the tail and udder. Please use reference images to learn how these anatomical parts are. Also it's important to position correctly the knees. At this stage just draw a couple of circles in the sketchy legs to have an idea of where the knees will be.

I think the cow is coming out really nicely now. As you see we haven't moved dramatically away from the original sketchy figure, just refined it a little bit along the way with small adjustments.

 

Refine a little bit the head and the legs. Google the world cow and look for images of this animal as we approaching the final steps of this tutorial.

After a bit of refining and after removing the remaining construction lines your cows should look similar to the one drawn underneath. Doesn't it?

as a final touch to this drawing we are going to add just a bit of shadow here and there to emphasize muscles, the torsion of the head and the relative position of the legs. Think before dropping your lines and add them only where they contribute to a final rendering.
