Both a child and an adult will be able to portray the symbol of the coming year.

How to draw the head of a bull or cow

What do you need

• Paper;
• black marker.

How to draw

Start drawing the head of the goby with two arches in the middle of the sheet.

Outside, draw two more rounded lines, and inward add oval pupils. Draw two loops under the eyes - the nostrils - and circle them with a curved line in the shape of an inverted Z, for the bull's nose. Draw an arc from the nose downward, as shown in the picture. Using simple lines, draw the upper and lower lips and tongue, similar to the number "3" lying on its side.

Draw L-shaped horns and ears tapering upward, similar in shape to water droplets and mirroring to each other. Add shaggy bangs with zigzag lines.

Using curved lines, sketch out the outlines of the head to the right and left of the muzzle. Paint over the horns.

Circle all the contours brighter, at this stage you can slightly correct the inaccuracies of the drawing. Paint over the bangs, nostrils, tongue and eyes (leave white highlights inside).

This cow head is more difficult to execute, but it looks very impressive.

Even the smallest ones can easily draw such a bull:

This determined bull is perfect for both t-shirt decoration and tattoo:

How to draw a standing cow or bull

What do you need

• Paper;
• black liner or felt-tip pen;
• colored markers.

How to draw

Draw two slightly diverging lines from top to bottom. Draw a cloud-like shape below them: this is the cow's nose and the smile that is visible from behind it on the right. Mark the upper and lower lips with two connected arcs, put a bracket in the upper corner of the mouth to make the smile even more fun.

Draw oval nostrils closer to the upper border of the nose, inside with brackets add volume. From the top of the head, draw the curved loops of the ears to the left and right, mark their upper borders with strokes. Draw curly bangs above your head with a wavy line.

Draw horns to the bangs with corners and put a hat on the cow. It consists of a base lying on a bang, a fluttering cap and a round pom-pom. Draw oval eyes with black pupil circles inside. When painting over the latter, leave white highlights. Use strokes to mark the lower eyelids and eyebrows.

Draw the cow's side with a line strongly curved to the right. In its upper part, right under the muzzle, draw two horizontal lines, denoting the front paw, add a square hoof.

Draw the other side with a curved arc to the left. In the middle of the calf, lower the felt-tip pen straight down, drawing a leg. To it with another line on the left, add a second leg, tapering towards the bottom. Add some square hooves. From the side on the right, release a playfully curving tail with a leaf-shaped tassel at the end.

Above the left side of the cow's nose, draw the oval crown of the tree. Sketch the entire tree with smooth wavy lines, in tiers from top to bottom. Add a rectangular trunk at the bottom and some round Christmas tree decorations. Contour different sized spots on the cow's body.

Color the horns and nose with an orange felt-tip pen, and the ears inside, nostrils and mouth with pink. In gray, mark the shadows on the cow under the bangs, around the muzzle, on the tail, along the border of the abdomen, legs and where the tree is adjacent to the body.

Finish coloring the picture as shown in the picture or whatever you like.

The process is shown in more detail in the video:

How to draw a sitting bull

What do you need

• Paper;
• thin black felt-tip pen;
• thick black marker;
• colored markers.

How to draw

Stepping back slightly up and to the right from the center of the sheet, start drawing a spiral, make it oval and finish just below the point where you started. Draw on the resulting figure two ovals and lines above them. These are the nostrils.

Under the nose, draw an arc for the mouth. Draw the contours of the head: the left one (in relation to you) starts just above the nose and smoothly rounds the cheek and goes under the mouth, repeating its contour. The right one begins approximately above the center of the nose and descends in a slightly curved line towards the nostril.

Draw the ear on the left, it looks like two leaves, one inside the other. Add an L-shaped rounded horn above it. Note that the horn starts from the head contour, and the ear is displaced closer to the nose. Draw in the missing contours of the head and make bangs in an arbitrary zigzag.

Draw the second horn and the second ear in the same way. It will start from the head contour, because it is visually slightly behind.

Draw a smooth line from the right cheek of the bull to the left and down, it consists of three bends: body, thigh and leg. Mark the hoof with two strokes and draw a line from it to the right, completing the outline of the right leg.

Draw the front legs with four oblique lines from top to bottom, mark the hooves on them with lines.

Add with two horizontal and two vertical lines the left back leg, which is visible from behind the front. Draw a tail over the right hind leg, it looks like a thin cord and ends with a forked tassel.

Move on to the muzzle. Draw oval pupils above the nose on both sides, paint over them, leaving white highlights. Circle them on the outside with ovals, indicating the outer contours of the eyes. Draw triangular brows. Draw an arc around the left eye; here, when coloring, you will need to make a gray spot.

Draw some more spots on the body of the goby. Circle the drawing with a thick black marker.

Color the drawing with felt-tip pens at your discretion or as shown in the video:

How to draw a bull in motion

You can start with a pencil sketch, but if you are confident, then draw immediately with a felt-tip pen.

What do you need

• Paper;
• felt-tip pen.

How to draw

On the left side of the sheet, draw two horns, similar to elongated and slightly curved triangles. Underline the bottom of each with a short stroke.

Mark with a short stroke to the right upwards the future outline of the head, leave a gap and draw a curved line that looks like a mirrored question mark, this is the hump of a bull.

Continue the line in a light, long arc to indicate the back of the bull. Then bring it up, passing into the S-shaped tail.

Under the tail, draw a wave downward on the hip line. Under the hump, draw an obtuse angle pointing to the left and ending in a forked stroke, this is the front outline of the leg.

Draw a short forehead line from the lower border of the horns down. Bending it slightly to the right, continue in the same direction, drawing the face. Round the stroke up to the right and add a mouth and chin. Together they look like a 3 with a long upper ponytail.

Mark the bull's nostril with an upward comma. Draw a round pupil with a white highlight at the beginning of the forehead, circle it with a loop of the eyelids, outline an eyebrow with a stroke. Place a leaf-like ear above the eye. Add a vertical stroke inside.

Draw the scruff behind the ear, connecting the head and hump. With a zigzag going from left to right, mark the line of the abdomen. Draw the back leg as shown in the picture.

Connect the chin and front knee of the bull in a W-shaped wave. Leave a small gap for the leg and continue a wavy line all the way to the left edge of the belly. Use three slanting strokes to mark the coat on the chest.

With an arc, convex to the right, outline the upper part of the front paw, stop at knee level. Similarly, outline the top of the hind leg, it should start over the belly and taper strongly towards the knee.

Draw a line from the knee of the front leg down to the right, and from the knee of the back leg to the left and down. Both end in small bulges and pass into pyramidal hooves. On the hooves, sketch out the bifurcation with strokes.

Similarly, draw the third and fourth leg of the bull with hooves. The back right leg starts from the beginning of the thigh and, bending at the knee, goes down to the right, and the front right leg starts from the middle of the chest and goes down to the left.

Draw the tail with a line parallel to the one already outlined. Decorate it with a large brush at the end.

You can add short, rounded strokes to the bull's hump, thigh, belly and leg joints, as shown in the video below. This will give dynamics to the figure.
