Cow Pencil Drawings
Cow drawings in pencil: a spotted cartoon cow, a cute cow with heart-shaped spots, a cow in a flower crown, a cow waving hello, a cow looking over a wooden fence, a sleeping cow, a calf in the grass, a mom cow with her calf and a cow jumping over the moon. For more practice there is a shaded cow in side view, a realistic cow head with a bell and a shaggy highland calf.
Start with a light outline in an HB pencil: simple shapes for the head and body first, then the legs, ears and horns. Add the spots and fur at the end with a soft pencil.

Questions and answers
What is the easiest cow to draw in pencil?
A cow face or a sleeping cow: both are just a few rounded lines. Then try the cartoon cow with heart spots, and save the side view and the realistic heads for later.
How do I draw cow spots in pencil?
Draw the whole cow as an outline first, then trace the spots with uneven wavy lines. Fill them with a soft 2B pencil in even strokes in one direction, or leave them empty like on the mom cow and calf drawing.
How do I draw the fur of a highland calf?
Start with the shape of the head and the nose, then draw the bangs with long curved strokes from top to bottom. Use short strokes for the fur on the sides and darken the areas around the eyes and nose with a soft pencil.
