Invent and draw your superhero!
In how to draw a cow step by step you'll follow ten simple steps to learn to draw a beautiful and lovely cow. we won't use an anatomically detailed approach but will start from the main shapes that constitute the caw body and will proceed from there adding detail and using reference images to finish our drawing.
The tutorial is in two pages so do not forget to click to the part 2 link at the end of the first page to learn how to complete your drawing.
Start by drawing a large oval s shown in the picture below. As usual here at the drawing factory we split the drawing in easy to follow steps and this first one shouldn't be difficult to draw.
Now we'll try to position the head (a circle on the left) and the posterior part of the animal. Spend time here positioning these two elements at the right distance from the central shape. See how the two red arrows have approximately the same length and are distant the same from the midline?
Now that we have positioned these three elements try to draw a line that includes these elements and give it a shape similar to what you see here. This bigger shape represents the body of the cow.
Before adding the legs and the rest of it it's necessary to focus on the head a little. See how easy is to draw the shape of the head from the circle you have drawn a few steps before? Remember that cows tend to have really straight heads so keep that line pretty straight.
To complete this first part of the tutorial now just erase the constructing lines, the big oval and the circle and you should have something approximately like this. Do not worry is going to look very much like a real cow in our next steps. See you after the break.
