Colored pencils are excellent for detailing the animals' fur and the various textures of the grass. Markers can provide smooth, even coverage for larger areas like the sky. Fine-tip gel pens can add subtle highlights to the wildflowers or define smaller details on the animals.
Begin by coloring the larger areas like the pasture and sky with broad, even strokes. Use a simple palette of 3-4 complementary colors for the cow and calf. Outline the main shapes first, then fill in carefully. Take your time and enjoy the process, focusing on one area at a time.
Achieve realistic fur textures by layering multiple shades of browns, creams, and grays, building depth with light pressure. Use subtle blending for smooth gradients in the sky and distant hills. Add intricate details to the grass with stippling and varying greens. Create soft shadows under the animals to ground them.
