This A3 original coloured pencil drawing of a Highland cow captures the majestic and rugged beauty of this iconic animal. The cow’s distinctive long, wavy fur is rendered in rich layers of brown, auburn, and cream tones, showcasing the texture and depth of its thick coat. Each strand of hair is carefully detailed, giving the fur a soft yet voluminous appearance, while the cow’s strong, muscular form is emphasized through subtle shading and fine pencil work. The Highland cow's signature long, sweeping horns are captured with intricate detail, arching gracefully from its head.
The absence of a background allows the cow to stand out, with all the focus on its striking features. The simplicity of the composition enhances the natural beauty of the Highland cow, drawing attention to its gentle yet powerful presence. The coloured pencil technique adds a level of realism and texture, from the fine details of the fur to the soft, smooth shading around the cow's face and body. This drawing celebrates the strength and quiet dignity of the Highland cow in a minimalist yet highly detailed portrayal
