Start by drawing an oval at the left of the paper. This will form the cow’s head.
Draw a large oval alongside the first oval.
Draw a curved line from the right to the bottom of the first oval. This will help to form the muzzle. Then connect the two ovals using two curved lines.
Draw the cow’s legs. For each leg, extend a set of curved, parallel lines downward from the body. Enclose each foot using a short, curved line.
Erase the guidelines from the head and body.
Draw two curved, narrow triangular shape above the head, forming the cow’s horns. Detail the horns by some drawing short lines across them. Then draw the ear using a half circle.
Extend two short, parallel lines from the rear of the cow, forming the tail. Draw a teardrop shape at the bottom of the tail.
Draw a circle to form the eye. Within the eye, draw a smaller circle, and a tiny circle within the smaller circle. Shade between the innermost circles to form the pupil.
Draw a curved line across the face, just above the muzzle, and shade a small oval to indicate the nostril. Then draw a short curved line as the mouth. Draw the udder next to the hind leg.
Draw some curved lines and irregular shapes on the cow’s body. Sketch some grasses on the ground.
Color your cow.
