How to Draw a Great Looking Easy Cartoon Cow for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

Easy Cartoon Cow step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 1

1. Begin the easy cartoon cow outline by drawing the animal's cute face. Draw a large curved shape for the snout. Inside it, draw a wide "U" shaped line for the mouth and shade two small ovals for the nostrils.

Above it, enclose two partial ovals for the eyes. Inside each eye, draw a smaller oval and shade around it.

2. Above the eyes, use connected, curved lines to enclose a cloudlike shape. This is a tuft of fur on top of the cow's head.

Connect the fur to the snout with curved lines. From the sides of the cow's head, extend curved lines and double them back on themselves to form the horns.

3. Below the horns, extend another set of curved lines and double them back on themselves to form the cow's ears.

Draw a curved line to contour each ear. Draw a partial circle beneath the head and draw two pairs of lines from it to the snout. This will become a collar with a bell.
