More Dairy Cow Illustrations! Jersey heads and Bursting Udders

I recently completed three more illustrations for the same client who commissioned the five during the summer. (Go here to see the previous five) There is now a total of eight(!) in the series.

I always end up learning about the subjects I draw, (apart from generally being interested I also find it helps when I understand the subject better) - but during this project I have quite simply learned that I LOVE Jersey cows, they are so beautiful!!

 Two of these three are slightly more educational  illustrations, but are still in-keeping with the same style of the others. One includes a vet checking the cow over with a stethoscope, and another shows a detailed view of the Dairy cow's udder full of milk.

Dairy Cows Illustrations series for packaging

Recently I have been working on a series of very content-with-life dairy cattle! These illustrations were commissioned via a design agency for who are producing print advertisements and packaging for their animal-welfare company client. One of the requests was that I incorporate a touch of blue and purple into the colour scheme - it was really nice to be able to add in such lovely rich colours.

I wanted to really show off their kind characters and sweet, curious personalities.

For this next one, I worked on three seperate pieces before bringing them together digitally to create the composition of the final illustration.

To accompany them, I also created some extra buttercup meadow/grass patches. These are a lot of fun to do!

Here are some of the work-in-progress sketches from them:
