in every method i was like: ok it starts to look like fur. ok now it doesnt look like fur at all aaand now it looks like fur again aaand it's gone.... annnd it's up again. ok it's finished.... is it? yes it's finished.
Suncho actually every drawing disappoints me. In the beginning it's beautifully detailed and contrasted and then she ruins everything by just making the fur being all black or brown. In the end it's beautiful, yes, but what's the point with making such an effort if she just colours everything in the end ?
It adds depth. If I draw something and use just two colours it shows. Layering and building multiple tones really makes a difference. It's the key to a good piece of work, anything good takes time and patience 😊
@@agisa123456789 actually by doing alot of steps it gives more depth, a more realistic look, and it gives more of a less grainy look. but if you want a realism/illustration type of drawing, then yes you can stop at the beggining :)
ME: 1 minute in:...no way this is going to look anything like fur.... 2 minutes in: ok its looking okay i guess 3 minutes in: ok, did she edit in an actual patch of fur????
After my last drawing, I realised I had to up my game when it came to drawing fur. This video has helped loads! Tried all 5 methods and it's been a definite improvement on what I could do before, so thanks! Subbed and will be using your tuts for future reference.
You are extremely talented when it comes to art hacks, drawing, shading, blending, burnishing, solvents, and coloring! Thank you for your technique tutorials....it really gave me the knowledge that i was lacking in some areas and much improvement on others. Can't wait to keep learning from your videos. Practice and patience! Have a good day!
is there any way you could show your reference photos in future videos? if I wanted to draw brown fur, for instance, I'd want to get out a brown pencil the exact same color. I'd be interested to see how you get from the photo to the first layer, second layer, etc., if that makes sense.
Your description along with showing your work is really good! Though I can't help but to think "What kind of sorcery is this!?" after a few layers. I never knew how to proceed passed one layer, so this was magical and so useful to me, at the same time!
I know this video is from 3 years ago but it's 2020 now during covid 19 pandemic. I love your work and this was a great tutorial and a much needed distraction. Thanks so much you lovely talented woman.
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about steps to draw pencil portraits try Skyarza Portrait Coach Star (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
Wow that’s great. I knew about the etching technique, the layering technique, the watercolor underbase. I have never tried markers underbase or the solvent techniques. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us.
WOW, this is excellent!! Going to recommend you to my mom, who has recently really started to enjoy colored pencil work. I hadn't even considered adding other media like markers or paint for an underbase. Your results look AMAZING!!
Very useful, big thank you Kristy. Sparkling Art is coming right out of you're head / hands. I did learn today a thing or two,..........again TnXs. Greetings from The Netherlands. Libbe
You have an amazing talent and knowledge about creating artwork. For someone just starting out, your tutorials are extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing!!! A few months ago your video was the first impulse I got to finally start drawing with colour pencil. Now that I've rediscovered it I realize the impact it had on my work Thanks!!! You're awesome!
Wow u make it look so simple. I think that I'd still mess up. When I was in high school I had the highest grade. I stopped drawing due to starting a family. I'm 53 and feels like I'm starting from scratch again. Anyway ty for a amazing art video I also shared with my two grandchildren who are into art in a big way.
Since I don't have polycromos, I use prismacolor scholar pencils cause they're harder than the prisma primers. Works for me ! Love what you did with the solvent. They all look excellent ! Never would have thought of or seen the etching before. Can't wait to try it ! Thanks, your awesome !
I've been looking for a good tutorial about drawing fur with different media and at last I've found a really good, informative one. Now I can draw much more realistic animals; thank you Kirsty!
I love your videos, I really enjoy your voice, also you're clear in your teaching so massive thumbs up 👍and you're a really good artist so inspiring too xxx
When i see thumbnail *it's hard i cant do it* But my heart made me to click the video When i watch fully video *oh man its easy* You made it easy. The way you explan made it super easy thank you so much "you made me to do it"
This is a very helpful video. You are a very talented artist. This is the best video I've seen yet on the subject. Thanx! I'll be looking up some of your others.
I am totally impressed with your fur!! I think what else all your technique tells us that you need patience and to keep laying down the layers and layers and eventually, it should come to life...right? Thanks so much. It helps me tremendously. I have gotten there with skin, but hair and fur well, I must not have had the patience.
Thank you Kristy! Your art and tallent inspires me. You have taught so good methods to paint and draw. I just love to look at your ideas how to create wonderful masterpieces. 😀
Thank you! Im starting a new drawing tomorrow for neighbor. He wants me to draw his 2 puppies, both mutts. Kirsty my favorite living artist today. Always so helpful and not afraid to share super awesome techniques. 😏
So fascinating! I wanted to learn this anyway, but it was a great cure for insomnia. I forgot myself trying to get the techniques right, and relaxed with focus on hand and pencils . . . and some of it actually looked like what you were aiming at. Then I got a glass of milk and went to sleep.
this is honestly really inspirational and helpful, I really like your videos, i hope i could one day become a great artist, lately I've been kinda unmotivated to draw, i have so many ideas but its like i get tired of making the same mistakes I always make in my art, its like I try too hard or overthink things because i wanna improve but if i make a single mistake I give up on drawing it. I am not exactly sure what to do, I always go back and re-watch your videos to get something out of them but I feel like I'm the problem to everything, I feel like I have to change everything about myself to even overcome the little things and it doesn't seem to work, I always go back to doing nothing and only stressing out. I'm still trying because of people like you, you seem to really care about art and helping other artists and I am grateful for that (:
Hey Kirsty! I am fairly new to colouring and this tutorial was brilliant! I am definitely going to try some of these methods when I have fur to colour. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for doing this tutorial video of how to draw realistic fur, especially using pencils. I am going to try and put this in good use by trying to draw characters I have made with realistic fur. It may take me a few days, but it will be rewarding. I will be looking forward seeing more of your vedios in the future. ^^
With all five I was like “WOW, how can this get any more beautiful” and then POOF another layer of beautifulness and I was like 😱HOW CAN YOU DO THIS!?!
Absolutely fantastic work! I learnt so much and am looking forward to using the techniques you talked about. Thank you from one animal artist to another.
I really don't understand why you would have any Thumbs down. I think you did an awesome job sharing with us how to color fur.. Thank you for sharing. Happy 4th July 2021
Brilliant tutorial, Kirsty! I'm working on a new drawing (roe deer) and struggle with getting the fur right. I'm going to try it your way. (I'm fairly new to coloured pencil). I'm using polychromos.
Hey everyone! In this video I am going through 5 methods for drawing fur! :D I hope you enjoy the video and all likes and share are appreciated :D
sorry can't see the just looks like black circle not showing up on camers
Kirsty Partridge Art
why doesn't my white primsacolor work like that? does it have to be a certain kind of paper?
Kirsty Partridge Art how long did this take you? Like how long did it take for each?
Just wondering
Kirsty Partridge Art plzzz tell me what prismacolors you used yours came out great pls tell me
I was trying to draw my brother’s leg, so I came here!
Lol 😂
Lol 😂
😂🤣😂
Lol
Sarah Hatley *wow ROASTED!!!*
finally someone has done a video on all different furs and techniques! been waiting for this for a long time thank you!
Ri but I was waiting for fluffy hair and it never came 😔
I'd tried everything I got,but my technique in color pencil is wasn't good enough, cause here I'm back to where I'm before.
in every method i was like:
ok it starts to look like fur.
ok now it doesnt look like fur at all
aaand now it looks like fur again
aaand it's gone....
annnd it's up again.
ok it's finished.... is it? yes it's finished.

She is doing to many steps for a result with indirections. We cant say it is wrong or right.
It is her effort.
But the result is well done.
@@agisa123456789 actually by doing alot of steps it gives more depth, a more realistic look, and it gives more of a less grainy look. but if you want a realism/illustration type of drawing, then yes you can stop at the beggining :)
ME:
1 minute in:...no way this is going to look anything like fur....
2 minutes in: ok its looking okay i guess
3 minutes in: ok, did she edit in an actual patch of fur????
Is it just me or is the layering technique good for drawing hair?
yes this technique is good for long fur and hair :D

The etching was just genius!
That was excellent. The etching tip for the white fur is so useful. I'm going to practice these five methods. TY, Kirsty.

I really like the effect you get with etching.

I love how you did the etching fur. What a brilliant idea! I will have to try those soon so I don't forget and practice, practice, practice!
Great, informative video. Straight to the point and well thought out. This is the kind of lesson I would expect from a very good art class.

Great video, thank you!
I enjoyed this very much. You're so kind to post it for free. It's greatly appreciated by me as a person coming very late to drawing and painting.
WOW, this is excellent!! Going to recommend you to my mom, who has recently really started to enjoy colored pencil work. I hadn't even considered adding other media like markers or paint for an underbase. Your results look AMAZING!!

The Etching technique would be excellent for elephant skin

Brilliant tutorial, Kirsty! I'm working on a new drawing (roe deer) and struggle with getting the fur right. I'm going to try it your way. (I'm fairly new to coloured pencil). I'm using polychromos.
NICE! Thank you Kirsty!
Oooh amazing methods on drawing fur!! The one with the markers is one I tried myself and it realy helps a lot
+Shiroichi Art thank you very much! Yeah I love using the marker one 😊
No wonder. It makes it so much faster because you have a base and don´t need to push to lose all the white of the paper
Loved watching these videos very helpful xx
Thank you. This was very helpful
Thanks so much for sharing, very helpful for beginners with colored pencils
Really useful, very detailed and helpful, thank you.
Thanks for the video. Nice skills.
Yes! I needed this! Also, I love the Prismacolor Premier pencils, I own a set myself and they're really good for layering light and dark colors
