Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Cow" video after each step to draw at your own pace.
For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw two
circles as guides for the cow's body. They don't
have to be perfect. They're just guides. The
circles should be right next to each other, and the
circle on the right should be a bit smaller than
the one on the left.

Step 2: Draw a very
small circle (about the quarter the size of the
first) on the upper left side as a guide for the
cow's head.

Step 3: Draw two
lines across the head to help you place the facial
features later on. The vertical line should extend
outside the circle a bit.

Step 4: Use the
extended line as a guide to draw a U-shaped curve
under the head as a guide for the cow's muzzle.

Step 5: Draw a sideways arc on
either side of the head as a guide for the ears.
