In this tutorial I show you how I break this down into ...

In this video I show you how I tackle this in a real time voice over video. Black fur is one of my favourite fur colours to replicate in pastels and acrylics. Like with all fur types its a layering process and in this case working fro...

How to draw a Tiger

Posted on by Zara Toms
 Tiger Tutorial Tigers are one of my favourite animals to draw. So when I was asked by a Patreon member to draw one for a tutorial I couldn't wait to get started. I already had the photograph in mind and it was a beautiful one! It was a cropped image which meant this iconic animal filled all of the paper. I love working with photographs like this. If the photo is of the right angle it can m...

Want to know how to draw water droplets?

Posted on by Zara Toms
Drawing water droplets in most cases is about focusing on the bright highlights and the reflections within that droplet. Depending on the shape and origin of that droplet it will vary quite a lot in terms of colour. This is because of the translucency of the water enabling the surroundings and what is behind the droplet to almost be capsulated within it.  So due to how much they can vary I...

First time painting a Dragonfly…

Posted on by Zara Toms
Background is done ✅ This painting is one that a friend of mine has been asking me to complete for maybe a good two years. Having a couple of days free in between commissions I thought I would make a start on it. For this, I knew I wanted to have a bokeh background. A background which I LOVE. I really like how it can create a magical effect and add extra depth and dimension to the painting...

🐾✏️ 💦 SWIMMING BLUE IS FINISHED 💦✏️🐾

Posted on by Zara Toms
I LOVE a challenge! First time attempting water with pastels but it was my favourite part when working on his portrait. I enjoy capturing movement of subjects anyway so creating the ripples and movement of the water was the element where I didn't want to put my pencils down. A typical Labrador - water baby - doing what they know. I have been asked to draw many of Blue's family pets so it was a ple...
