Wood Burning - How To Create Short Fur Using Zig Zags pyrography tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- This pyrography tutorial video will show you my zigzag burn stroke method that I use to create short fur. I will explain what zigzags are, and provide guidelines for using them. Then I will provide examples that demonstrate how to make modifications to the zigzags to get different looks in the fur. I tried to make this video pyrography beginner friendly, so let me know if I accomplished that.

You have an outstanding ability for breaking down the steps needed to achieve the best results.
We all owe you a debt of gratitude for your generosity.
Hi Gerald,
thank you for the high praise! Forcing myself to really analyze how and why I do things helps me understand or look at things in a different way. I like to think that helps me be a better artist.
Thank you again for the wonderful comment!
I agree, Gerald! It's beautiful to learn with a generous teacher💖💖 THANK YOU BRENDA!!!
Even though "this is most difficult" to achieve in creating a "realistic" fur; the rewards are great! Practice... Practice... Patience.. Slow it down! Thank you again Brenda, for your shown examples and superb instructions.
Well said!
Thank you for being a great Instuctor You explain everything so well.
Thank you for the lovely comment.
Hi Brenda, it was great to hear your voice after a long time. Amazing tutorial as you always make.
Rakhi!
How the heck are you? I've missed you! Hope you are doing well and still artistically active. Even better would be if you're creating art without using those icky paint brushes! Sorry, couldn't help myself. Well I probably could, but I chose not to. :)
@@PyrographyMadeEasy Hi Brenda, Sad but I am not artistically active. I met an accident and still recovering from it:(
Oh Rakhi, I'm so sorry to hear that! That is sad news. I hope that you recover soon!
Awesome pyrography art tutorial. It's very helpful to beginners. Keep it up. Have a great day Brenda 😊
Hi Dixit,
thank you. I always enjoy reading your comments. Have a great day too!
Hi Brenda. Amazing tutorial and technique. Even the first examples regarding the pressure and the part of the tip to use look good. Plus, you added so many variations and examples. Very impressive results.
Hi Richy,
thank you. I pick up tips and ideas from your videos that help me create my artwork and videos. Plus I have a growing list of things I want to try that because of you.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment and have a fantastic week!
Merci beaucoup pour votre tuto 👍👍
Bonjour Eve,
De rien. J'espère que cela a fourni des informations utiles. Merci beaucoup d'avoir regardé et pris le temps de commenter!
Great demo Brenda I really enjoyed it.
Hi Tommy,

Thanks for making this video! I am new to the hobby and this video has helped me more than any other. Maybe some day I’ll be as good as you
Hi Mike,
I honestly think that what I do is something that anyone can do as long as they are willing to put in the time. That's true with any hobby.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment
thank you for this video I now know where I was going wrong :) :)

Hola Brenda...gracias por mostrar los tips...y siempre admirable tu arte...te mando u gran saludo desde mi Mèxico...🌹🌻🌹
Hola Fernando
de nada. No es la única forma de crear pieles, pero es un proceso que funciona para mí. ¡Saludos para ti!
excelente ,saludos desde Colombia SurAmérica
Gracias. Saludos desde el estado de Washington en América del Norte.
👍👍👍👍Missed the music Todd, 😊
thanks. I'll let him know.
So nice work...👏🖼👍👌🙂😊🖌🧑🏻🎨❤️
Thank you
this is awesome!
Thank you very much.
Hey brenda this was really well explained and i love how you show exactly what you do behind the timelapse! This method certainly takes a lot of patience like realism usually does but this is a lot more intricate maybe because you have to get it right first time since there is no eraser aha Well done on this video it was great to watch as always :)
Hi Eve,
Realism takes patience as you well know. Pyrography is slower than drawing, but for some reason more enjoyable. There are ways to erase mistakes (sand paper), and that's good because i don't think I've ever created any piece of artwork where I didn't have to fix something. :)
@@PyrographyMadeEasy haha me too honestly the amount of mistakes i make sometimes is unbelievable
This video demonstrates my zigzag burn method to create animal fur. I use 4 different cat examples to show the ways that zigzags can be altered to create different looks. This is not a tutorial about how to create the 4 different cats. Instead it is a demonstration explaining the concepts needed to create different looks in the fur. You can then apply the concepts to your artwork.
Great video Brenda. I showed this to a friend who has just taken up burning. You make it look so easy! At least now I understand what I am doing wrong to get that soft transition between the light and shaded areas. This video made me think about human hair, men, women and children. Would you be up for a video on that type of burning? Thanks so much for your tutorials, I love them and learn so much. Cheers!
Hi Wendy,
thank you for the amazing comment. I really appreciate it.
Doing a hair tutorial is something I have pondered, but haven't gotten around too. I will see what I can do, but please keep in mind that I don't work fast so it would be probably months before a video was ready.
@@PyrographyMadeEasy Well you work a lot faster than I do LOL. Thanks for considering it. Just one more item on your already too full plate! Sorry about that :)
Don't be sorry. I'm never really sure what people are truly interested in, so feedback helps me in that regard. Mostly I do the things I'm interested in and hope others enjoy it. Your comment planted a seed and now I'm pondering ways to approach the subject. There is a LOT of variety with hair.
I love its, thanks for sharing. From Japan
Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment.
Greetings from Washington state
awesome! i’m enjoy at this video, thank you so much for sharing, keep it up!
Thank you very much for the lovely comment.
@@PyrographyMadeEasy my pleasure :)
You are amazing.. I’m trying to do this but it doesn’t look like yours.. I’m new to wood burning.. I will watch this over and over to learn this, thank you
The most common problem is using a heavy hand pressure. This technique requires very light hand pressure.
👍👍👍
É maravilhosa a sua técnica! Muito bem explicado, nos pequenos detalhes, tutorial fantástico e perfeito do início ao fim! Parabéns pelo seu trabalho e obrigado por compartilhar sua arte.
Obrigado pelo comentário muito bom! Eu realmente aprecio que você não apenas assistiu ao meu vídeo, mas que você tirou um tempo para deixar um comentário.
Thanks Brenda. Very helpful. I love cats and I've been wanting to have a go at it. You explained it very well.I would have liked to have seen you do more of the cat,but I get the idea. Oh where is Todd's music? Just asking.
Hi Karen,
I was curious if anyone would be commenting about seeing more of the cats in work. I just didn't want to make the video too long as it takes forever to upload. Plus if they get too big they don't fit on my storage dvds.
Todd's music is only played on the time lapse videos. Tutorials you guys are "treated" to my monotonous voice babbling pyrography nonsense. :)
Once again you have created an in depth and very informative tutorial video. Do you take a long time in planning these tutorials Brenda ? I am giving you top marks and a huge thumbs up for your Zig Zagging technique ! This was a long video so made a coffee and ate a biscuit while watching, by the way, just noticed you have 4k and just about 5k subs ! You deserve every sub and a lot more Brenda QOP : )
Well if it isn't my favorite and only Dino King!
I hope you are doing well. Thank you for the awesome comment. I have to tell you that I continue to be amazed at my sub numbers. I really never expected that.
For the most part I don't spend much time planning out the videos. Usually what happens is I start working on them (like this one) and ideas about ways to help better show what I'm trying to explain start popping into my head. Then I have to create the artwork.... Fortunately that doesn't happen all that often. I do have one I've been working on for several months as I keep thinking about different ways to approach the subject, so I put it aside a little longer as I ponder. :)
Have a fantastic week!
Nice. Thanks
thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment
Hi again I love that you show how to get different fur lengths and textures but I noticed you never change your pen tip what kind of tip do you use and once again you are awsome beautiful work
Hi Lloyd,
I'm using a smaller shader pen tip. Any shader pen tip will work. I pick my shader based on the size of the area I will be burning in. Larger area I tend to pick a larger shader.
As for the specific shader in the video is by Colwood and is called the J shader. They assign a letter to each of the pen tips. Not sure what they will do when they use up all of the letters in the alphabet. :)
Brenda, здравствуй . всегда жду и смотрю твоё видео с огромным удовольствием. СПАСИБО тебе. Теперь вторник стал моим любимым днём. Всего тебе самого доброго.
Привет, Алекс,
Вау. Спасибо за этот удивительный комплимент. Я польщен. Я надеюсь, что вы отлично провели неделю!
Бренда
Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe tutoriel . Très bien expliqué ! I love it !
Did you made any books on techniques or anything ?
Je suis content que vous ayez aimé la vidéo. Merci d'avoir regardé et d'avoir laissé un merveilleux commentaire.
Je n'ai pas de livre. J'ai un site Web qui a beaucoup de tutoriels écrits. Les tutoriels incluent de nombreuses images. C'est aussi proche d'un livre que j'ai.
Merci encore pour le merveilleux commentaire.
Thank you for a wonderfully detailed explanation of fur shading. I learned quite a lot. One question do you have a example of a all white animal/cat?
Hi Dena,
I'm glad the explanation helped. The only white fur tutorial I have is for a dog with curly hair.
What I will tell you is that the techniques for a white furred animal does not change. The only thing that changes is how dark you burn in the fur.
All of the fur needs to be burned to a tan color. Light tan in the highlights and dark tan to light brown in the shadows.
Then darken the background (not pitch black) and that will make the cat's fur still seem white.
Hope that helps.
Hello brenda.....how are you beautiful voice..and face hhh ......always talented ..thanks for sharing
Hello Kalil,
been a long time. Hope you have been well. Thanks for the comment.
@@PyrographyMadeEasy oh thanks ..alot ....my friend....we ll stay in touch ...keep it up ..and good luck.🥰
What tip did you use a on them (letter/number)? I use Colewood so that would be nice to know
Most likely I'm using their J shader. Any shader with a thin edge will work. So will a writer pen tip, or a calligraphy tip.
Flawless tutorial Brenda, I hope you're staying safe. How is it where you live?
Hi Dennis,
thank you.
So far I've avoided the virus, and if all goes well I will completely avoid it.
I'm in Washington state and we're on 'stay home' orders for a couple weeks. Most businesses have been shut down for a bit (restaurants, etc), but now even the big businesses (like home depot) have to shut down.
How are you doing?
@@PyrographyMadeEasy haven't been using social media much recently, but I replied on my video earlier. I'm glad that you are ok Brenda.
Btw, thanks for the tip on uploading ahead of schedule, but now I ran out of videos :D I will have to do some watercolors or inking soon. Or maybe I will film my pencil sketches.
Other than YT, I don't use social media at all. You're welcome. The schedule feature is awesome. I load all of my time lapse videos that way and then move them around as needed when I get tutorials done. Works out quite well. Plus YT gets to store my videos for me as I don't have infinite storage. :)
lovely tutorial Brenda, how long you do phyrography,just curious❤🌹💐🌻
Hi Lenny,
I have been doing pyrography since the summer of 2014, so I'm coming up on 6 years.
@@PyrographyMadeEasy wow, quiet long, super👍have great weekend Brenda🌻🌹💐❤
Sto imparando molte cose anche se non comprendo la lingua, ma, vorrei farti una domanda..
Cosa spruzzi al minuto 7:57 del video, che liquido c'è in quel botticino? Forse acqua per alzare il pelo del legno? Grazie se vorrai rispondere.
Ciao! Sì, la bottiglia ha dell'acqua che appanna leggermente sulla tavola. Solleva le venature sul legno e le carteggio dopo che la tavola è asciutta. Il produce una tavola super liscia. Inoltre questo aiuterà a prevenire l'aumento del grano se si tratta di un cambiamento di umidità.
Whiskers?
Hi Collen,
The Bobcat tutorial explains a way to create whiskers. ruclips.net/video/SAvI8LfBjkU/видео.html
Also, I'm working on a concept for creating whiskers 4 different ways. I'm still in the planning stage and haven't started burning, so god only knows when it will be ready.
Yeah really they will have to use letters and numbers lol thanks again
Very true. You are most welcome. I think a common misconception all pyrographers have when they first start is that a different pen tip is needed for each texture. I bought a LOT of pen tips because of this.
Fast forward a few years and many projects later and now I know that only 2 are needed; a writer and a shader.
I sware u should like Helen brail
