I absolutely agree about tracing. I can absolutely freehand the basic proportions, but when I'm already going to take weeks, sometimes months, to paint a piece, spending the least amount of time on the basics just makes more sense to me.
This is actually a very smart way to learn how to paint fur and hair. Most people learn as they paint other parts of body. They are fighting proportions, shapes, value, ect, while trying to learn something new. It just becomes frustrating. While you went about it in an actually more intelligent way. You isolated the problem and worked on that specific part finding solutions that can be carried over to other paintings.
Thank you for your videos! I painted my first animal after watching how to paint fur on your channel. I have a long ways to go, but I’m very very proud of my first painting! I know it turned out so much better thanks to watching your fur painting techniques and how to do washes.
Something that may help you take your fur to the next level is that fur always grows in a certain direction depending on where it is on the animals body, Thus when you were putting in your dark hair you went in every direction rather than putting your hairs down following a direction. So on the animals back the fur will always grow towards the back as a general rule. On the sides of the animal as you progress from the back to the belly the hair grows gradually towards the back to the belly.
You are incredibly gifted and so charming. I love watching your videos now to paint like you would be a blessing. I know practice practice practice. Thank you for sharing your gift.❤
I am a beginner but am loving your videos! I tried to replicate one of your birds and I was blown away. The grid is brilliant, and all the other techniques you share. I'll be over here devouring your videos! Thank you!
Hi, thank you so much for breaking down your painting process in these easy-to-understand steps. Such a cool idea! You helped me a lot to understand the whole thing 😄
Geniooo total! Me inspira por un lado y me frustra por el otro! Pero con joyas de dedicación intentaré llegar a un buen punto !!! Un Gran Abrazo desde El Salvador y Ananda!!!!
I love the effects you achieved. It was nice to see how to do it in stages to get the desired outcome. I have a much clearer idea how to get the "real" fur look.
Beautiful detailed video ..thankyou so much for explaining this way ... for the first time I understood layers .. 😊😊😊😊 This painting of snow leopard is awesome 👌
As I’m watching this, I’m remembering your video about not drawing with charcoal that I watched yesterday…. Watching this, I realize you are working with these paints exactly the same as you did with the charcoal (with the blending, erasers, & sponges! ). It makes perfect sense now! Thank you.
Always great videos Daniel. Just finished a massive lion painting and I'm "satisfied " with it but my fur details need some fine tuning. I called it good enough and it's now hanging on my livingroom wall. Now I can watch your tutorials and stare at my painting to see where I went wrong (or at least not quite right) haha
Your work is incredible, you really have inspired me to take my paintings to the next level. This video in particular was very helpful, thank you for these lessons. By the way, the only thing better than your paintings are your charcoal drawings!
Great video! I appreciate how you took the time to break down each of the steps in painting realistic fur. I have been taking a break from painting for a little while and have been mainly working with graphite. This video has encouraged me to get back into painting! :)
Thankyou very much for your videos. I am a new to painting animals and your videos have changed and helped me alot. Lots of respect, thankyou for being there to teach❤.
Can you please tell me what surfaces you find are best to paint on ? Also, do you use any acrylic mediums? Your work is really nice.......thank you for your informative video. 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Great way of doing it and Incredible idea of showing us how! I usally work with pastels but this makes me want to get my acrylics out again. One question, what surface did you work on in this video?
I haven't gone through all of your videos yet. Can you do something with short hair, like a deer?... especially on the face area where the fur looks stippled? I'm just starting but have been tasked with painting some deer and can't figure out how to do that look without it looking too busy and weird.
Enlightening! Does this use paints that have retarder mixed in, as per your latest video - or just the water? . Which could lead to a question on when during the process you'd use said retarder. 😊
These were the same paints that I used for the latest video I filmed them both at the same time. The retarder was added at the start of the process as I was mixing up the paints. the good thing about it is I can add water in exactly the same way as I would without the retarder and it works in the same way
I'm trying to paint a smooth concrete dog I painted it all black it needs hair I want to give it a white collar nose and chest like a black and white border collie what should I do next??? Please help anyone??
I' ve used your glazing technique, but i'm a little disappointed about the color that result flat...i'd like to get more chroma but not impasto or too much covering. Could submit you the painting for some advice?

Great job! This time I understood lagers. I’m more a drawer than a painter but I will try it ones😊
Thank you
Gosh! It’s amazing .you make it look so easy ! But it’s super difficult. Thank you for sharing
This demonstration was far more informative with the various stages shown. It was like a light went on,'ah that's how it's done.'

I'll never paint like you. You're amazing 😍😍😍😍. Thank you for all your help and support
I am big fan for your work really want to learn more from you sir…
Great tutorial to get you started. I know colour mixing can be subjective, but you do give enough away to let us “fill in the blanks,”. Thanks.
Thank you for your advices! ❤
Nicely done!!!!

Amazing video. I’m really trying to create that soft yet detailed effect on my subjects. Currently working on a horse.

Thankyou for a great tutorial………will practice, practice, practice to get fur on my animals looking like this. 😊
Really well-explained. Thanks!
謝謝！
Thsnk you ,very nice
Key point color variation. But subtle
Thankyou very much for your videos. I am a new to painting animals and your videos have changed and helped me alot. Lots of respect, thankyou for being there to teach❤.
Thank you very much for watching. I am very happy that my videos are helping you with your work!
❤❤❤❤
Love your artworks the are impressive! How do you frame your large pieces (including charcoal ones)? Do you use glass?
You are incredible. Need a patreon page for USA
😲👍👍
Hiii Thankyou
Can you please tell me what surfaces you find are best to paint on ? Also, do you use any acrylic mediums? Your work is really nice.......thank you for your informative video. 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Great way of doing it and Incredible idea of showing us how! I usally work with pastels but this makes me want to get my acrylics out again. One question, what surface did you work on in this video?
Thanks, this is just some watercolour paper but it was just to demonstrate. I would usually work on canvas or wood panel
I haven't gone through all of your videos yet.

👏👏👏💯👍
Did you just wet your canvas please? Ahh I see your working on hotness watercolor. Do you do that often?
how do you get the first layer so wet on the paper?
Enlightening!
Does this use paints that have retarder mixed in, as per your latest video - or just the water?
.

@@StudioWildlife Brilliant.
Thanks -
Surprised, in some ways, manufacturers don't make a set of acrylics that have retarder already included.
I'm trying to paint a smooth concrete dog I painted it all black it needs hair I want to give it a white collar nose and chest like a black and white border collie what should I do next??? Please help anyone??
Wow … WHY even though the black is dry, why isn’t it reactivated and smearing ?!
I am not quite sure but you already said how do you manage to make acrylic transparent for glazing ?
I just thin the paint down with a bit of water
I' ve used your glazing technique, but i'm a little disappointed about the color that result flat...i'd like to get more chroma but not impasto or too much covering. Could submit you the painting for some advice?
Acrylics on hot pressed watercolor paper???
can you personally train me
1st
Pov: you’re painting on cardboard because you don’t have a canvas
Lion dominates tigers
Thanks!
Thank you! glad you’ve found the video helpful 😁
