Drawing white fur with graphite! Silvery Marmoset

[@Arty-Zen]

very helpful. Thank you! I am drawing a Pug and you reminded me that there is a tone to the fur even though it looks "white" in the B/W version. Now I use a color and a B/W version as reference. I really appreciate you stressing the importance of working lightly. This not only helps my work but helps me be able to draw for longer periods with arthritic hands!

Hello from Colombia, as always this is a beautiful draw

I love it wow

Looks great, i’m an amateur but after doing my first couple of colored pencil drawings i actually found graphite and charcoal a lot easier. It’s like learning to gradate using different color shades makes gradating dark to light in one color a lot easier.

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Yes, thank you! It feels like a good start of the year:)

[@MarliesDraws]

You have a new profile picture! Beautiful photo!! And drawing! 😊 In the end, even though you were nervous about using graphite, did you find it easier/faster then colored pencil? I haven't used it in years either, I like colors too much, but I do find it easier because you don't have to pick colors and it blends easier...

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Yess it was about time for a new pic haha! Thank you! I do think I still find colored pencil easier, but that's just because I've had way more practice with them the past years. When I switched from graphite to color I thought color was way more difficult haha, so it's just what you're used to. Graphite is quicker though so it is easier when your don't have much patience:p

[@MichelleMoreusArt]

I've been trying to do more colored pencil but graphite I find much easier. And it erases easily lol.

[@Spanishwithjackie1914]

Hi , Leontine, the paper Canson 1557 works similar to Fabriano Artistico?

[@CarrieMHB222]

Lovely. What kind of smudging towel did you use? Microfiber? Standard terry cloth? Thanks.

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Oh yeah it's an old microfiber cloth! :)

[@MichelleMoreusArt]

I use a chamois cloth it blends perfectly.

[@JUANITO2859]

Hi Leontine would you please tell me what pen did you use to draw the white whisker? thank you,Victor

[@brookemoore6933]

What is an indenting tool you referenced saying you should have used instead of the eraser?

[@goingametameillusion3294]

👍super!!

[@ricanryker6441]

I use a stylus indentation tool for fur, you should try it
