How to draw highly detailed fur in pastels | Tips guaranteed to make a difference

In this tutorial, I'll share my top tips for drawing realistic, highly detailed fur in pastels. When drawing fur in pastels there are a few things that can make a huge difference. Drawing photo realistic animals relies on the right layering and pencil techniques. If these are lacking then the entire portrait will appear flatter, more two dimensional. All of the tips and techniques I mention in this video are what I use in every single one of my drawings regardless of the animal I am drawing =).

Excellent vid. I’ve learned so much from watching your channel. Animals are my thing but in graphite. I may just have to go to pastels…👍
