How to Draw Kawaii Cow

In this lesson, you will see how I begin with basic lines and shapes to create the kawaii cow. Starting with these foundational elements is super important because they help you understand how everything fits together. As you follow along, pay close attention to how the sizes of the shapes relate to each other in each step. This will help your drawing look balanced and cute! After we’ve got our outlines in place, we’ll save the coloring for last, allowing us to focus on making our cow look just right. Remember, there are several steps in this lesson, so take your time and enjoy the process of creating your cow in the kawaii style!

Time Needed: 45 minutes

1. Draw the Snout

   

   Begin by creating a wide oval for the cow’s snout. Next, add two tiny nostrils and a curved line beneath them for a sweet smile.

2. Outline Head

   

   Above the snout, draw a curved line to form the cow’s head.

3. Add the Eyes and Cheeks

   

   Draw the cow’s eyes above the snout. Now, add the circular outline of its blushed cheeks.

4. Attach the Horns and Ears

   

   On top of the cow’s head, draw a pair of tiny horns and curving ears.

5. Draw the Overalls

   

   Draw two upright overall straps with buttons. Now, outline the cow’s body. Then, add a large front pocket.

6. Form the Arms

   

   Attach the cow’s arms to its body, and outline its hands.

7. Add the Legs

   

   Draw the pants of the overalls. Then, add the cow’s feet.

8. Outline the Cow Pattern

   

   Create irregular spots all over the cow’s head and body.

9. Color the Kawaii Cow Drawing

   

   First, color the snout and inner ears pink. Next, fill the cheeks with red. Shade the cow’s horns and the buttons of its overalls with yellow. Fill the eyes black with small white ovals. Now, shade the hands and feet with light brown. Color the overalls with blue. Then, shade the cow’s spots with dark brown. Finally, color the rest of its head and body white.
