Hi Zara, such an excellent tutorial! I notice that you don't often blend while you're drawing. I'm currently doing a portrait of Hovawart but I think that my paper (Fabriano Toned Paper 120gms, 15% cotton) is resulting in a grainy appearance. I find that I'm blending often to eliminate that. Perhaps it's time I purchased decent paper and pencils 😊
Thank you =). Pleased it was useful. I often blend with the pencils themselves and find that can create some lovely smooth layers. I really don't like the gritty look that occur with pastels but the paper plays a huge role. Also layers. Not enough layers and the tooth of the paper is allowed to show through. It can be a combination of a few things.
To be a patreon is great! I learned so much of her!
Thank you so much, thats really kind. So pleased the tutorials are helpful =)
yep, work dark to light for pet portraits digitally too, only way you are going to get the right look
For sure. Certainly helps to build the depth in the fur.

How do you call that color picker help? I can't hear it 😕
