Colored pencils are excellent for achieving detailed fur textures and precise work on the ear tags. Markers can provide smooth, even coverage for larger areas of the calf's body. Gel pens can add subtle highlights to the eyes or a glossy finish to the nose.
Start by coloring the calf's main body with a light base shade, applying even pressure. Use a slightly darker shade to add simple contours around the legs and face. Color the ear tags with a light neutral tone, then carefully fill in the numbers. Use a single, consistent shade for the straw/shavings in the background. Take breaks to keep your hand relaxed and prevent fatigue.
Employ layering techniques with 2-3 shades of brown or tan to create realistic fur texture and depth on the calf's coat. Use cross-hatching or stippling for the wood shavings/straw to achieve a varied, organic texture. Apply subtle shading around the eyes and muzzle to give the calf a more lifelike, three-dimensional appearance. Experiment with light sources, adding highlights to the top of the calf's head and shoulders. Use a fine-tipped tool for precise coloring of the ear tag numbers and small details.
