Your class project is to draw a highland cow!

Highland cows are lovely, big shaggy creatures with tons of character (and hair!) and are one of my favourite animals to draw.

When uploading your project I not only want to see the finished drawing but I also want to see your illustrative explorations on the different textures you see within the cow as well. You will learn more about that in Lesson 2. I recommend completing this part of the project before moving onto to drawing the animal as doing this will help ‘loosen’ you up and get your creative juices flowing!

By the end of the class you will have a completed drawing of a highland cow and some loose hair/texture illustrations that you can keep in your sketchbook or journal.

The picture I used to draw my highland cow from is from iStock photo - there are tons of images on Google but I just loved this one so much, you can download yours here

So, to recap I want to see:

Your textural explorations from Lesson 2
Your main drawing - feel free to add any close up images too!

Happy drawing!
