How to draw a farmyard with a cow, pig and chick step by step
How to Draw a Farmyard with a Cow, Pig and Chick · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Barn roof
Start with the top of the barn. Draw a bent roof like a wide, pointed hat, with a short little curl at the bottom of each end.
Step 2: Barn wall and cow bottom
Draw a long straight line down the right side of the barn. Then, near the bottom, draw a wavy line with a round bump in the middle that will be the bottom of the cow's body and the chick's place.
Step 3: The chick
Next to the cow's bottom, draw a small round ball for the chick's body with a tiny tuft on top. Add a little wing on the side, two tiny dot eyes and two small feet at the bottom.
Step 4: Cow's head and sides
Draw the cow's ear and the curved top of the head near the barn roof, then add a short wavy line down each side of the body. Finish with a little curly tail at the bottom left.
Step 5: Cow's eyes
Draw two small round dots for the eyes, a little apart from each other. Keep them the same size so the cow looks friendly.
Step 6: Cow's spots
Draw a big spot like a hat on the left of the cow's head, and a smaller spot by the other ear. Add a tiny spot on the tail and one on the side of the body.
Step 7: Barn windows
Add two round dots high up on the barn wall. Make them the same size and side by side, like two round windows.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a farmyard with a cow, pig and chick
- Draw the barn roof first and keep the lines straight, then tuck the cow in front of the barn wall.
- The cow's big head spot is the trickiest part. Make it a wide curved shape like a hat, then fill it in with a dark pencil.
- Make the chick much smaller than the cow, and draw it right next to the cow's side.

Questions about drawing a farmyard with a cow, pig and chick
What shapes do I need to draw a cow and chick?
You need big and small round shapes for the bodies and a pointy house shape for the barn. Dots make the eyes and the barn windows.
How do I make my cow look cuter?
Keep the body round and chubby, and give it two little dot eyes. A big spot on the head and a curly tail add extra charm.
How do I draw the chick so it looks small?
Draw a small round body next to the cow, with a tiny tuft on top and two small dot eyes. Keeping the chick much smaller than the cow makes it look tiny.
