The techniques make so much sense watching you do it. But when I go to practice, my mind blanks and I am so lost! I still really appreciate these videos, as they've been exactly what I've been looking for to improve. Hopefully one day it clicks for me!

It’s all about adding layers these exact technique’s I use with colored pencil and at first when you add the first few layers it looks like my 4yr olds art but you have to be real patient and just keep adding those layers then you step back and can’t believe what you’ve created.

Honestly I'm the same way. It's about studying the video while you are working. Sometimes I slow it down and have it right next to my painting
@PleasantLeech2 жыл бұрын
It's all about having the discipline to put the time in. It's important to find fun in it and not everyone can work at the same pace but sometimes you just have to force yourself to practice even when it feels like it's not working or you don't have the motivation. Just always be careful not to burn yourself out.

The best way to remedy this is to start by drawing fur first. Master drawing fur with all its shades and textures, paying attention to direction, length, clumps, contours, directions, etc. using pencils, charcoal, colored pencils or ballpoint pens. Then, when you've done a sufficient number of such drawings (you'll know when you've attained the level of realism you're after!), keeping in mind all these aspects of fur will then be second nature and you won't have to think about it much when you start to paint fur, leaving your mind to focus on the overall lighting, composition, color, etc. of the whole piece. And, as always, good reference photographs will be of tremendous help here! Hope that helps! ====================================================================================================================================================

Fur is something I've always struggled, with, this will help so much! I started teaching myself to draw at the end of 2019, I started with just pencil, the slowly moved onto coloured pencil any then onto soft pastels and pastel pencils. Fur has always been such a nemesis of mine and using paints so I've avoided both until more recently. I started my first Acrylic painting a few days ago, and he's been going great, however I'm now starting to try and add some detailed fur and after 3 layers it's still not right, this video though has really helped me! I need to go back out today and darken down my layers then add the lighter on top and then add shadowing etc. I'm going to watch your other fur video first to ensure I get the right colours etc. I don't paint for anyone else, just me. My dream would be to paint endangered and at risk animals and work with animal charities and to sell my paintings to people to bring some happiness to their life. Art is so important to me, I always drew as a child but stopped when I hit teenage years, however after a long hard battle with cancer that began at age 29, after beating the cancer and a tumour I thought life would go back to normal, working, hiking, rock climbing, dog walking, motorbike pulling etc. But not for me, because the cancer had spread and I had an inoperable tumour I had 2 different kinds of radiotherapy as well as chemo. Thankfully this worked and stopped the cancer dead, and the tumour has been dormant since too, however the radiotherapy caused massive internal damage and slowly overtime I started to struggle with a number of debilitating symptoms. After numerous operations and ridiculous amounts of medication, I have been left in a wheelchair, with no bladder and no bowel, and 6 discs from my spine disintegrated and my vertebrae damaged in the area of the treatment. So for a few years I sat in a wheelchair in the corner of a room waiting for life to end, then one day I thought why not try drawing? So what I've done is instead of focusing on what I can no longer do, I'm now focusing on new things that I can do. This video and other fur videos have helped so much! Id show you how my painted dog is coming along, however I can't do that here sadly. Please keep your videos coming, they're such a huge help to me as you explain things in terms I understand 😁 a huge Thankyou 🐸 Dee 🐸

Hey. What would you use as your base layer when painting a white dog?

I'm not a expert, but start with a darker base like this teacher did, but use more lighter greys for the base. Once you get to the outer layers before you get to the whitest whites. Maybe not use straight black for the base.... this is just a guess it may work 🙂

Make sure you stand back as well, as a digital artist when working close it may not look as great causing you to keep making changes but once you zoom out or pull back from what you made, your eyes will see it differently. Instead of seeing the individual strokes, you see fur/hair - it's almost like magic.
