6 TIPS TO DRAWING REALISTIC FUR IN PASTELS

This month I uploaded my 6 top tips for drawing fur in pastels. For those of you who also paint in acrylics these tips are also relevant to painting BUT with the exception of the last tip. Tip 6 I speak about how with lighter coloured dogs like yellow Labradors I will usually work in the opposite from light to dark HOWEVER with acrylics we don’t have to worry about filling the tooth of the paper or ‘muddying up’ the colours. So with this medium you can continue to layer even from a very dark layer. As long as the paint is dry we can add whatever number of layer we wish. 

My aim is to create more YouTube videos like this :). If you’d like to see this tutorial click the thumbnail below. For my slower, often real time tutorials head over to Patreon :). I have a Patreon library here on my website listing all of the tutorial available before you join.
