How to draw black fur in pastel pencils | the basics

[@myapinion7532]

Watching this really makes me appreciate just how much work goes into those lovely doggy portraits that pop up all the time on facebook. People just write pastel pencils or something on pastel mat, but the amount of work, patience and skill that would go into drawing a whole animal is incredible. Until people watch this video or something similar, they're not going to really appreciate just how much time and effort goes into one piece. I'd love to try it, l have a professional photo of my much loved pooch (who died 20 years ago) but having never lifted a pastel pencil or whatever, l doubt if l could do it. Don't know until you try l suppose. Anyway, thankyou so much for taking the time to show this. Very enlightening!

Thank you for your beautiful comment. I think you should give it a go. It's like anything else. Practice, but what is the worst that can happen. You can do it. :)

Bonjour, Je commence à dessiner avec des craies ou crayons pastel sec et je suis autodidacte. Aussi, je veux vous remercier pour vos tutoriels car vous êtes le seul artiste qui nous enseigne les bases pour commencer. J'aimerais dessiner une chouette harfang, mais comment mettre en valeur le plumage blanc ??? Encore un grand MERCI pour votre talent et votre générosité à nous le faire partager ❤❤
