Same here

[@Temerityofficial21201]

U must not have the blending stumps and mono eraser and those pencils

[@spongebobspinkytoe8869]

@@Temerityofficial21201 for the blending stumps, use a q tip or tissue, for the mono eraser, use a normal cap eraser, and for the pencils, just use a HB pencil and press down hard when you want to it be dark and press down lightly when you want it to be light :/

[@Temerityofficial21201]

@@spongebobspinkytoe8869 HB pencils will give grey look when u press down hard U know what An HB/half pencil is giving the same amount of darkness as a 12B pencil and 12B pencil graphite will break with little bit of pressure

Can you also make video on the lines you draw before this video...? How to draw that side by side to the reference picture... It will be more helpful... 😊

[@pressplay1072]

Exactly!!!!!

[@lilymcardle2967]

Yesss

[@medhadeodhar286]

My God how beautiful I am going to try this drawing love the drawing soo realistic

[@powerobxxx]

I do so love your videos Kirsty, every brush or pencil stroke is narrated in a way that I can understand and it all sticks in my head. So much better than a lot of tutorials on KZbin that are more someone drawing and music playing with no narration, not that the artists are not good, it's just better with narration, I am still trying to work out your accent ? Midlands maybe but a touch of Southern, great though, every word is clear and informative, thank you for making these tutorials they have brightened up my days no end and re - ignited my determination to be able to draw.

[@michaltheninja8135]

Thanks a lot for this sort of tutorial. It’s helped me a lot and I’m really satisfied with my result. My friends now acknowledge me as an artist, lol

[@ThePelicanPhotographer]

Hi Kristy, i am a bird photographer enthusiat and want to start drawing birds of prey, i wanted to havr uour opinion on the drawing itself , as i wish to start learning the black and white amazing drawing of yours, but i wonder if i should not start with drawing proportion first ? As if feel that copying the reference is not the full drawing …if u know what i am trying to say. What do u think about this concern as an artist?

[@jessrowley2058]

Thank you, this has been one of the best drawing videos.

[@cutetiger5]

Do you trace your initial lineart to help save you time? Or do you draw freehand for your drawings or does it depend on the drawing itself? Awesome video by the way :)

Just on Time,I wanted to draw an eagle as a gift for somebody that I really appreciate instead of a cat,because I think that an eagle has more personality than a cat...thank you Kirsty.....

[@motoraptor5306]

Love this Tutorial, Animals are so awesome to draw 😎❤❤👌

[@Ngchan2000]

can you show us how to draw a rooster? find it is more mixed up of different textures (fur, feathers, goosebumps like crown skin), and you look at a pic of a rooster, you see layers but cant see where to start

[@hanogluhaydar]

Who new subscriber like me? Now. I love this woman

[@ThatArtTeacher]

Looks amazing, great tutorial!

[@iamalwaysgodschild4840]

does anyone else have trouble using the Tombow eraser? i suck using it. i feel like it doesn't erase very well, and i constantly have to clean the end.....i end up just quitting wiht it, and using a carved up eraser. i've even tried cutting the end of the tombow eraser with a utility knife, so it has a clean edge. I still suck using it. I'd welcome anyone else's comments on this. i'm very frustrated with it

[@artbyevangelos]

Just beautiful art!!!

I love my pencils but I'm left handed which always gets my hand covered in graphite making it black

[@MissNeverending]

Hi Kirsty! Love your work! 😍 I was so inspired by this eagle drawing, I would like to try for myself. Do you mind share the reference photo you used on this one? Best regards, Lilla

[@paleboatworld9688]

wow ... this is spooky. I wanted to work on drawing a red tailed hawk. Thank you so much for this!

[@EiRA-hiE-x]

OMG 😍😱

[@FoxIord]

I have a Tombow Mono, and I love it, but it doesn't erase even close to as cleanly as yours. Do you have any idea why this is?

[@Nick-ng3kd]

Fox Lord maybe you're applying too much graphite and burnishing the paper too much that the eraser can't pull off that graphite of the paper, try adding less pressure with softer pencils and it will erase just fine

[@HolySparda00]

Amazing as usual 😍

[@carolferguson5467]

Wish this technique could be use with pastel pencils?!
