How to draw cat paws in graphite | Tips for drawing fur
In this tutorial, I'll show how to draw cat paws in graphite. The way I break this up and make this section of the portrait easier to draw can be transferred across to any other animal paw. By focusing on one toe at a time and then the individual layers, it makes it much easier to end up with a realistic looking paw.
Like with all realistic portraits, the layering process and pencil technique are crucial especially when drawing fur. It's about building up these values gradually and refining each layer as we work. This will achieve more depth and end up in a more 3D drawing when finished.

WoW 🙀
@dariebruneau7086 thank you 😊
hola quedo hermoso ,pregunto lo que usas para dibujar lo pelos de la pata es una plantilla me gustaría verlo mejor gracias desde argentina ruben...
i don't believe you included your tools.
@madelyn7521 all of the tools are in the real time tutorials on Patreon.
☺️What paper do you draw on?
I have well I used to have a poodle. He was supposed to be a toy miniature poodle, but he came out to be sort of medium size. We got him when I was six years old and he just passed away on Saturday so I’m just trying to think of like Christmas ideas because I love doing art I’m not professional, but I just love to do it for fun, I’ve known him my whole life pretty much I mean my mom has had a couple dogs before but this winter longest dog she’s ever had. I’m just trying to think of ways to keep them around. I’ve seen people create their pets in art, but I don’t know how.
Awsome Miss. ❤
How did you draw the original outline so well? I struggle the most with the outline and proportions.
At precisely 13:34, you use a black tool with a silver base and a spongy looking black tip for the spaniel's ears. What is that? Is it a smudger or a type of pencil?
@@22cyndi22 it's a pastel stick holder with a black pastel stick inside.
Beautiful thank you
@leelanandaihalagamage8005 thank you 😊
how do you sharpen your pastel pencils? I can never get mine long enough to make such fine fur details
@@rachellobb6904 I use a Stanley knife to sharpen my pencils.
Che meraviglia.
what is that big black pastel pencil youre using for the darkest largest areas?
I am left handed so things the way you do it I struggle sometime with the angles
Superb creation, thank you. I adore. 🎨👍
Multumesc pentru prezentare. Mi-a fost de mare folos. Mult succes in continuare!
This is the color of eyes that a cat painting has, that 8 am working on...I needed this ..exactly the same color... Thank You 🙏
So to glaze a painting i need to use water? Or what? 😭😭
@@artist7509 I just use water.
@@zaratomsart okay thanks, but one question. I'm like using an art kit with instructions and I don't understand. It's like a canvas with a grey drawing I have to paint with acrylics. It's says that color glaze means "the application of transparent color to the canvas allowing the grey scale design to remain clearly visible". Does this mean I have to paint the canvas in transparent color? 😭 The kit doesn't have any transparent color so I don't understand
@artist7509 is it paint by numbers? Without seeing the kit it's hard to say but that glaze may be more like a wash where you put a colour down but transparent to see the guide lines for then painting on top of?
@@zaratomsart it's not paint by numbers, it's like a canvas with a grey scale drawing and then a instructions kit that tells me how to apply the colors ect
What medium are you working with?
@@dellajful pastels =)
VERY BEAUTIFUL, AND VERY HELPFUL IN MY PAINTING, THANKS
Wow, amazing painting. Thank you for sharing your talent..
@@gabbylauko5502 so kind, thank you 😊
Really useful video 😊
Which Liquitex colors did you use?
How do you sharpen your pencils? I keep breaking the tip 🤷♂
@@815donalduck I use a Stanley knife. I find that makes the pencils last the longest and doesn't break the lead like normal sharpeners.
Thank you Zara for another wonderful pastel tutorial. Portrait looks fabulous, well done, so realistic. Really appreciate your tips and hints. You are so talented, one of my favourite pastel artists. ❤❤
@Lizziebird-pg4gj thank you so much. That's so kind ❤️. So pleased the tutorial was helpful 🥰
Excellent vid. I’ve learned so much from watching your channel. Animals are my thing but in graphite. I may just have to go to pastels…👍
@@tomfielder8973 so pleased to hear my tutorials are helpful 🥰🥰
woooooooowwwwwwwwwwww, te felicito por tu gran trabajo, excelente técnica. Te ganaste un seguidor
Great video. What mark of pencils do you use?
Please spanish subtitle. Gracias.❤
Thank you

Hi Zara! I have followed several of your lessons to date and have found them extremely useful as I try to come to grips with pastel pencils. However, I am experiencing a problem that is marring the finished work. I do not seem to be able to 'lose' the tooth of the paper in some areas. Is it simply that I am not applying enough pastel, not blending it sufficiently, or what? I would welcome your advice.
