This tutorial covers my step by step on how to create a fluffy lemur. I've listed the colours I use below - please don't feel like you need to stick to them exactly as they are very specific and I love to use many tones. www.patreon/com/emilymeicross

This is the best video I have watched. No annoying music, incessent chat about family, or noisy pets to break concentration, just consise brilliant tuition in a calm voice. Everything used listed, thank you Emily. Dont worry about bigging yourself up, we'll do it for you.
I'm so glad you think so! I like to keep my videos nice and calming and with minimal background noise as it's definitely what I would prefer to watch :)
A huge THANKS for your help by starting with pastels. Great tutorial!
Really informative and easy to follow !
Amazing instruction, thank you. 😊
❤🎉amazing work thanks!
one of the best types of tools out there is one were you can click anywhere on the photo and it provides the swatch with hex code. There are chrome plugins for this. then you just hold your pencils up to it to get the closest match.
It’s OK to be proud of your drawings, your work is brilliant 😍
What a gorgeous piece of work! Love seeing your process, thank you!
Brilliantly beautiful. Amazing talent and hatsoff for the explanation thats so easy to follow and understand. Thank you for sharing the video
My all time favorite animal. He is gorgeous ❤❤❤❤ and yes you are a awesome artist! So toot your horn!
Super tutorial. Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time and sharing 👏👏👍
I love your work ! I also like to try and draw this lemur with this video. Do you have a outline drawing for this lesson ?
Thank you! Yes I do :) It will be in the Patreon focus tier
Beautiful
This is a beautiful drawing and a wonderful tutorial, so relaxing to watch, I feel like I’m meditating :)
I’m a beginner and I have a few questions if you don’t mind :)
do you always add blue on animal portraits that are mostly black and white?
I realized while watching your video that the movement of the hair is important with every layer, not just the final details. Is it the same with pan pastels, or you would add movement with pastel pencils over it? I am learning to use pan pastels and so far I feel it’s more like a velvety uniform result than with pastels you use but maybe I haven’t used them properly! :)
And I was wondering if you always draw the face before the eyes? I tend to start with the eyes because I’m so worried to screw them up after doing the face 🫣. Is it a better idea to do the face first?
Thank you very much!
Thank you! Yes I always like to add blues in to make the black fur more exciting - you'll find glossy black fur is never just black it has blue/purple hidden tones and even some warmth in areas. I haven't actually used pan pastels so I can comment on that but if you can try and add movement even at the base stage so if pan pastels allow you to do this which I imagine they do then absolutely go for it. In terms of what area to start with first it's completely up to you - generally I do start with eyes or nose first but sometimes when I film for Patreon I work nose upwards. Loads of other lessons over on my Patreon if you want to learn more :)
Fantastic tutorial thank you
Thats fantastic Emily, can you tell me what you use for the outline please
Thank you. the smaller works I tend to use the grid method. Larger works I use a projector
Thank you
How do you know what is a cold area or warm area?
I usually compare the area to an obviously warm or cold area or colour (like a cold blue or a warm yellow). If it looks similar to something cool based then it's cold and if it's looking more similar to the warm tone then I know it's warm. Hope that makes sense. Most of it is is eye and experience as well!
Can i use soft pastels with /over pastel pencils?
becos im looking for alternative for that soft pastels brand u used, i have seen only Faber-Castell, Prisma hard pastel and some soft pastel, im not sure what to buy
Absolutely! I recommend the Unison or Schmincke range
Emily, what size Pastelmat please as they come as single or packs of 5?
Got it, pack of 5.
Hello, this lemur is 18 x 25 cm / 8 x 10 inches (landscape). I usually buy the large sheets and then cut them down to size
@@emilymeicrossartist That was how I deduced the theory.
@@emilymeicrossartistwhat was white out line of the animal drawn with Pl?
@@ajanthakumariwijeratne6170 I use any white pastel pencils to outline, mainly my Stabilo 100
Hi. Can i mix colour pencils with pastels on pastelmat?
You can work coloured pencils on top of pastemat paper and with pan pastel but I wouldn't recommend mixing them with pastel pencils or soft pastels
