How to Make Spots on a Cow Pattern

How to Make Spots on a Cow Pattern thumbnail
Cows are generally depicted as white with black spots.

A typical cow pattern, no matter what it's being used for, has to have spots on it. Traditionally, cow patterns are white with black spots, but if you have a cow pattern that is just one color, you'll have to make the spots yourself. Making spots on a cow pattern is not terribly difficult and doesn't require much artistic ability.

      Draw a rectangular shape on the center of the pattern, or on the edge of the pattern. Use a pencil to make the drawing.

      Color in the rectangle and any added shapes using a black marker

    • 4

      Draw distorted circular shapes and teardrop shapes in the corners of the pattern as well.

      Color in the shapes drawn in the corners of the pattern using the same black marker as before.

      Draw as many distorted circular shapes and tear drop shapes as you want randomly throughout the pattern and color those in with black marker also.
