I looked at the left and thought, "huh. It's not so bad." then I looked at the finished product at the right and thought. " Huh. My standards are really low."
I know it’s been a year after your Shepard passed away but I can tell you loved him to pieces. Sorry for your loss, dogs are too good for this world ☹️💕
Jeff DeLuca so sorry for your shepherd... I know it has been more than a year now, but loosing a dog is always very difficult, even more difficult than loosing a human sometimes... They’re always there for you and they don’t care about what people think of you or anything like that, they just love you and want to make you proud of them... people don’t seems to understand how difficult it is to loose a dog...
Ahahaha if it works for you then keep on going, but if you aren't getting the results you want then maybe this is something that you could change and see if it helps you improve :D I am glad you found it helpful!
Kirsty Partridge Art I don't really like when it's shiny, I just can't help pressing. Actually, as I do more traditional art, I begin to press lighter, so I guess I'm going in the right direction. Also, never-ever thought of using that cotton stick for blending, I might try it out next time :)
@@amplebourne8255 You need drawing pencils or animation pencils with soft lead(B) or light shades (H). Softer is darker, comes of easier and lighter is harder composite but it keeps you from going dark quickly. If you are practiced, you can just straight up use a dark pencil lighly and gradually darken each pass.. No 2 pencils wont give you the same result. Hope it helps.
My problem (one of quite a few in truth) is that I keep the drawing too light and don't go dark enough with the heaver pencils. I'm so afraid of spoiling it. I suppose it's as much about building confidence as it is about building layers. Great video, thank you.
commit one drawing to going dark. make it something small and nothing you would be too upset about if you mess it up. maybe redraw something you've already done. do this one drawing to the side and do NOT let yourself feel bad about "messing up" because only learning can come from this exercise. good luck and have fun!
MadHatterDJ just go for it. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. When i draw i dont always get it the first time. Learn from the mistakes from your failed drawing. Sry for late reply
Hello everyone! In this video I am going through my method for drawing realistic fur using graphite pencils and some common beginner mistakes :D I hope you enjoy the video! All MATERIALS are linked in the description :D Any subscribes, likes, comments and shares are really appreciated
I just finished drawing a wear wolf in London yesterday ,but due to my busy schedule it took me three weeks and four days to complete the drawing ,but when I did finally finished, the wear wolf body fur & the hair on his head was perfect! The portrait looked so real when I completed it that I asked the wear wolf to growl.
I bet you are, it's hard for us artists to notice our own progress. Compare a few works from various years. Try 6, 4, and 2 year old photos beside a recent one. You'll see many small or even maybe large changes! Keep working, precise art takes time. ❤️❤️
The thing is you don’t see the progress, if you keep going you will get better! Try keeping your old art look at the old drawings you made, you’ll be able to see how much better you’ve gotten! Good luck!
Thank you 'fur' doing this I'm sorry. Edit: please just ‘fur’get about this comment I’m so funny *top ten most horrible jokes that made people commit suicide*
This is makeing me realy wanna cry. I’m useing alll the same graphite’s as her, AND drawing as light as I can, AND I’m still MESSING IT UP. HOW DID SHE DRAW SO LIGHT!
I'm 16 and rlly into drawing animal portraits and I've never considered alot of this!! I'm pretty confident in my art skill but I'll definitely apply alot of these in the future because I've always felt stuck while drawing realism :) thank you for this
This was very helpful! I’m drawing my service dog and I’ve never drawn a dog before so learning how to get the detail in the fur is very important. Thank you!
I was drawing yesterday to entertain my artist friend, it was my first time actually attempting and she was laughing at how mine looks like the left xD Imagine when I visit her again and suddenly bam right side fur.
I really don't like drawing realistically but as of recent I've gained an lil interest in it. Although my cartoony knowledge brings me down when attempting realism. This video has helped.
I love drawing wolves and I am amazing at drawing fur but this gives me a bit more of a realistic drawing and a LIT look to it. So after the video I subscribed.
Oh perfect! I wondered why there were so light of graphite/pencil lead shades, I'd think "this is useless, can't see it well!" Glad you showed an alternative blending object for fingers. Will have to remember how useful Q-tips are for shading/blending. Wonderful tips, this was super helpful!
Thank you so much. This video helped me a ton!! I was probably between the both and now I know that I've to spend more time on the rendering and studing the references. ❤️
As Usual, Well Done Kirsty!👏👏 Your explanations of why are perfect, and your demonstration takes Any guess work out! Thank you for Awesome Instructive tutorials, they are Greatly Appreciated!
I love using my own dogs for reference whk have very different fur (Labrador and husky) but I cant thank you enough this helps so much for my portfolio to get to art school
I’m thrilled you answered me: thank you! Have been looking at/contemplating this video a fair bit. A friend in art school, like you, could draw what looked like every hair on a cat. Will subscribe! Thanks again 🙏
We have the same technique in drawing but your more knowledgeable. Thanks to your video, I learned something that will make my drawings more realistic. 👌👍
Wow, that was AWESOME!!!!! Thank you so much. I don't often leave comments (I should, I know) but I am just so happy and grateful for this video. I am working on the first cat drawing that I've halfway liked and I nailed all the markings and features, but the FUR! UGH! So now I feel like I know what to do! YAY! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I think that it takes more than looking at a reference picture - it takes a huge amount of talent!!! I could look at the picture until I'm 90 but I guarantee at the end it wouldn't look anything as realist as your lion -beautiful. I would have liked to see your reference photo to have some idea where you are seeing the darks and lights..
You can still use references and put it in your own style, for example I boldly outline my drawings because I like it more and it seems more cartoony which is what I love
Use pieces of multiple references to create a single piece and work on developing “your style” instead of trying to copy each individual line. Look for what sticks out most to you if you don’t have a particular vision and then create your focus on those points.
My grandmother ALWAYS gets that ad, It’s probably because she watches a lot of videos to learn English. Every morning she sings that stupid song to me- it’s so annoying but I still love her 😂
I love watching your tutorials, however, this has me puzzled- you start with hard graphite and gradually get softer but Other (also very good) tutors always say to put darks in first as softer grades will not adhere to the harder, purer graphite. What paper did you use.
I think thats mainly with layering charcoal ontop of graphite, as it won't blend and will just sit on top. Softer graphite pencils will blend nicely with harder graphite pencils if you're not pressing hard on the paper. She says to start light because it helps to get a good outline and layered effect, without smudging or having obvious erase lines if you make a mistake.
Wow a self taught artist? Spectacular!! Your videos help me, im still practicing my realistic drawings which are really amazing but its the shading and tone i struggle with but i have been practicing i can see im improving a little bit.
hey thanks for the advice . I've been started sketching since 3 years ago and i only draw an anime ( Japan Animation character) and due to my curiosity i started trying some new style of art which is Semi realistic .. I quite often love Semi realistic but Since i want to improve and want to draw realistic ... i found your channel and this helps me alot .. Thank you :) You got a new subscriber ... Continue sharing your Awesome advice 😍
Wow, thank you, Kirsty, for your expertise. I am new to your channel. I'm working on a lion portrait and i did exactly the "dont" side but i will go back and redo it with your "do" lesson tutorial advice and this time, I will carefully take my time. You're amazing! Thank you kindly for helping me/us all.

Can't wait to watch your other videos you explain things quite well. I'm just getting started with painting water colors and it seems I need to be able to draw first then go over with the water color paint. Got to get the supplies guess I need those type pencils and eraser...I'm excited to be learning something new🤗 Thanks so much for sharing your tips and techniques with us all😊🤗🌻
Thanks Kirsty! I love drawing wolf and I usually manage to draw them pretty good, but I always mess up when it comes to the fur... This video will surely help me improve my drawing skills when it come to fur!
I surely use the don'ts for my ... usual semi-realistic art XD or when I'm messy and just not familiar with how to make hair. xd I did improve it with human hair, but animal is still a practice. I know it doesn't differ too much but for some reason, I need to work on it more. xd as in: don't be a lazy frick LOL
I looked at the left and thought, "huh. It's not so bad." then I looked at the finished product at the right and thought. " Huh. My standards are really low."
Exactly this
LOLOL
Same XD
Thorn'Tooth I really agree
Just like me
Kristy I learned a ton just in this one tutorial! Lost my Shepherd 3 months ago and want to draw him so this will help the realism!
I know it’s been a year after your Shepard passed away but I can tell you loved him to pieces. Sorry for your loss, dogs are too good for this world ☹️💕

How to draw fur:
1. Draw some circles
2. Draw the rest of the fur
lol
So helpful.
You are a genius

What kind of eraser was that that you used it was a little white thing. But what brand?
I already use needed erasers. But I need something for finer details.
Please let me know.
May your day hold joy.

Jillian Lillie Hawk if u need a eraser for finer details , u can buy the tombow mono zero eraser
kneadable eraser for highlights
The fur on the left is also good as you are so talented, and can't draw that bad♥️
I swear these vids are like this
"Dont draw bad, draw good".
😂😂😂like I swear to god it just became funny tbh

Absolutely brilliant teacher and a great artist. 👍
Ah I’ve always been too impatient to be good at fur
