Realistic Lion Nose in Graphite Pencil

Realistic Lion Nose in Graphite Pencil
As a professional wildlife artist, in this video I will go through the process of building up the tone and detail that goes into creating a realistic looking Lion Cub nose. I use a few grades of graphite pencil, blending stump, kneadable eraser and of course the dart to add the texture of the fur around the nose to finish.

Beautiful work! I have done that technique using the burnishing and used colored pencil to glaze over with great results. You are very talented! Thank you for sharing your technique.

Hi, Impressive work. May I ask, how did you do the fur between the highlights of the fur and the background

[@JamieBoots]

Hi John and thank you. The fur is first indented into the paper with a dart then when a blunt pencil is used over the top the indentation shows through and looks white, if the effect looks to harsh you can just brush tone down into the indentations with a blending stump or alternatively parts can be lightened by rolling a fine point on a kneadable eraser and lightly brushing tone away. It is a very effective technique but unfortunately takes a long time. The darts have to be filed down as they are too sharp to start with and could cut the paper, also a tough Hot Press watercolour paper is best around 300gsm. I use St Cuthbert's Saunders Waterford or Arches Aquarelle. Hope this was of help and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
