Great video. If you lay down white pencil first, you can get really nice white hair when you scratch the green off.

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Ooo yeah that sounds like a great tip, I didn't think of that! That makes a lot of sense as it would prevent the green sticking directly to the paper and staining it. So it would preserve the white colour. I am definitely going to try that 😀

[@deborahjane68]

That is a great idea.

[@liztheig]

Best tutorial I've seen. Subscribed. Ty for explaining where and why color placement, including the sequential colors in layering, as well as mentioning the importance of working fur in clumps. This vid really helped me understand how to draw fur in colored pencil.

[@MM-nt7kt]

Finally a video that actually helped me on understanding the color placements. Thank you!

[@violetmartha916]

One of the best tutorials I have seen, and I've seen quite a few! Thank you! 😊

[@dragonballfan1536]

Fantastic job!! This is amazing! I am very new to using Prismacolor pencils and am hesitant to begin. I’ve seen such beautiful, realistic work that I just can’t believe is created by pencil! It’s a bit intimidating lol. You clearly have an amazing talent for it! Thanks for sharing!

[@DinoPaquette]

Thank you ... I think that with this drawing, you convinced me to buy a 150 set of prismacolor Premier, (I already have a kit of 72) ... but I will buy the 150 ;-) .... I tried luminance, procolor, colorsoft ( but not a huge amount of pencil and expensive by open stock ... then for my waxy and for quality / price I will go with PREMIER :-) ... I have my polychromos ... I know some people don,t like the prisma's but me I like them. ...So A KIT of prisma's and poly's it's going to be very good, I think! . Thank you for yours vidéos, very nice job ! :P

Rendering realistic fur takes skill. Beautiful job. You just earned a new subscriber! You asked for suggestions for tutorials; I would love to see how you paint such smooth (not blotchy) skin tones in your colored pencil portraits. Also, a tutorial on various textures (e.g., a wool sweater) in colored pencil. Thank you for sharing your talent and skills with us.

[@giannaboscolo1358]

amazing tutorial! this is surely gonna help me with my current project😊

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Yay awesome I am glad it has been helpful :D

[@StepByStepDrawingTutorials]

Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing 😘

[@gbpatriot2]

An interesting and valuable tutorial Kirsty. I needed guidance and insight before trying my first cp drawing of a wolf. I think you got the voice-over just right. Thank you. Ray

[@choochoochooseyou]

Sorry if this is a really obvious question, Kirsty, but after putting down your different colour hairs you go over it completely with the white. It seems to blur all those lovely sharp hairs. What's the reason for that? Just seems that you're having to do the hairs twice.

[@jazminvences2148]

choochoochooseyou i am not Kristy but it gives it a more realistic touch

[@Leontinevanvliet]

really nice! very realistic and well explained! a little off topic question: how do you get that outro screen? (i'm still a youtube newbie haha)

[@Icaruskid]

Yoooooo I'm subscrubled to youuuuuuuuu

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Thank you :) I made the outro picture with a free photo editor called Picmonkey... yes I still can't afford expensive editors yet aha! So I found a background photo I liked and you can find the subscribe button and social media buttons with transparent backgrounds on google images. Then I just added text and each video just use the thumbnail of the video before :) I hope that helps.

[@Leontinevanvliet]

+Kirsty Partridge o thank you! that helps:)

[@Leontinevanvliet]

+TheIcarusKid thank you very much!😁

[@amiranaval3814]

Could you do a tutorial on how to draw skin? I use prismacolor pencils and they get really waxy before I can even finish layering.

[@rosavaldes2599]

Could u do a slow video and show us how you use the tool? I have it and I struggle with fur; thank you

[@DogTrainerinLA]

Very nice video! I'm just getting into colored pencils and am wondering why you use the Caran D'Ache white and black pencils instead of the Prismacolor.

[@meganbrekelmans5842]

Caryl Wolff Cara D'Ache is much more opaque and lies down wonderfully. You just won't get the same depth with Prismacolor or Polychromos.

[@theteach9117]

THX SO MUCH !

[@theteach9117]

love the drawing BTW

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

No problem and thank you

[@JipHuisintveld]

Amazing! IT helped a lot but i am wondering what You were doing with the paint brush? Just curious but good explained i understanded it💕

[@joannetiffany8047]

she's dusting off the bits from where shes lifted of the colour with the etching tool

[@violetmartha916]

Wasn't it a blending tool rather than a brush? I may be wrong. 😑

[@joannetiffany8047]

She didnt use a blending tool or brush for blending she used the white lumiance pencil for blending. She used the brush to sweep away bits that she scrathed off with the etching tool

[@JipHuisintveld]

thank you guys im using a brush now too :)

[@maritast.537]

This was very helpful, Thank you

[@dersnok8879]

Hi, really nice tutorial! How long did it take to do this picture? Greetings, Der Snok ;)

[@jordankiepanimations5291]

umm you know your "scratching too" is an x-acto knife that, if you aren't careful, can easily cut holes in the paper?

[@jordankiepanimations5291]

Nvr mind. I wasn't at that part yet.

[@Athikan]

Thank you very much, this is awesome :)

[@leeludlowart237]

Really helpful. Great video. Subscribed :)

[@brettinnj]

[@Mariana-lh5ic]

[@shenciarayblack1822]

[@meganbrekelmans5842]
