No greater complement on instruction than to say it was clear, well illustrated, and practically achievable in a realm where so many examples are not. Well done!
Thankyou, I appreciate it! I am really aiming to make things as easy and informative as I can, because when I first started out, I found it so hard to get a decent instructional video that made sense! I hope it helps others out as well 😊
Omg, I should agree with a girl that said this was the best tutorial! The high saturation, etc changed my perception and you can see all colours properly! Thank you
Yes, exactly! That's why I always tell people that you don't have to follow the reference exactly, just the general size/direction of the fur detail will be fine 😊
This was an AMAZING tutorial. I have watched tons and tons of them and I am very impressed with your technique and your way to make everything easy to understand and to follow. THANK YOU! I’m using this one to try and draw my Westie with color pencils. I also subscribed to your channel 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Ah I see, it looks so natural from my perspective, it looks beautiful in two ways when you blend it and when you finish it. the brush is a flat brush right? What numbering do you use to make the details? Your work is simply incredible, here in Brazil I've never really seen it done with this technique, it's very beautiful. :)
@@lizi2641 the type of brush isn't really important (I use a range of sizes/styles( but in general an acrylic/oil brush works well - I use super cheap ones because they tend to get damaged with this technique 😊
Excellent tutorial. I am debating about whether to use Pastelmat or a smoother paper for a white Samoyed. Now I'm tempted to follow your example. Thanks
Either is great, but they work differently, so it depends on the results you are after 😊 Pastelmat allows you to add more opaque colour on top of previous layers (even white highlights), but the end result tends to look a little more grainy up close in comparison to smoother papers!
Thankyou for your fantastic tutorials. You explain the techniques and process so clearly it's helped me get to another level in my own art. I've been using pastels for over 40 years but I have picked up so many tips and advice from these tutorials than I did in art school!
I love this video! The most comprehensive video on dog fur I've seen. I found this while searching for something close to my cream colored lab x terrier. I realized I'd probably have to refer to a few different videos for help but this was a great "all inclusive" video.
Awesome video. Super helpful. Love the high saturation and color study on the computer. Definitely going to use that tip. Thanks for an excellent video. ❤❤❤
Thankyou for this tutorial you have helped tremendously. I’ve been struggling with white fur, never thought to use different pencils-with pastel pencils/blocks. Love the pastelmat paper. Trying to do a picture on film paper, to try and make the picture pop off the page. Your does just that. Thankyou again, looking forwards to watching all your other videos.
Super helpful tutorial. It's given me a little confidence to try white subjects or objects. I've saved because I know I'll watch it again.... and again! Thank you
Wow! What an amazing instructional video. I don’t work in coloured pencil, but I do in acrylic paint. I hope that I will be able to transfer some of these amazing tips to that medium. Thank you very much for sharing your incredible talent with us!
You can clearly see you did a good job when you have 12 dislikes only! And almost a 1000 likes 👍❤ I liked too :) also the people who disliked are just mad that their not as talented and they just gave up and it wasent your fault their not putting hard work in their art work 👏👏 good job Edit daily reminder : don't give up , but instead try harder! Try more! Work harder, then you'll get there no no effort = no goals
Thank you 😊 I don't pay attention to the dislikes to be honest! Every interaction helps my TH-cam channel grow, even if they "dislike" my videos, so they're doing me a favour 😊
your art is amazing I am so jealous!! I have been trying to sketch my dog (she's a bichon) and this is what I found even tho it's a sketch video helped a lot!! even tho I haven't actually started yet!! I have a better idea of what to do!! 💙💙
I did my first pencil drawing and i made a few mistakes - i used prismacolours and i found using sennelier oil pastels a solution to errors in colour apllication
some great tips for taking the ref photos. My number one gripe is getting a commission that is being supplied with crappy ref images. Thankfully, I am also a graphic designer, so my Photoshop skills come to good use.
Lovely tutorial, I found mars violet (in with other colours) a lovely colour for shadows, it’s my favourite pencil! I’m glad you use the drawing pencils and softer ones first as i found that works for me too! I feel like I must be doing something right now 😂
TIP: Hy Kirsty, thank you for your super clear video lessons. I don't know if you've already tried it, but the underpainting of pastels sometimes smears like that…so I first do the underpainting with GC albrecht dürer watercolor pencils, which I blend with water (of course) then continue with pastels. Greetings Julia Bos (I wrote a question in Patreon, did you see that?
I'm so glad you said you use transfer paper for the outline! I have a projector I use for A2 size, and so many people think it's 'cheating'! I say I'm being conscientious! 🙂
Yeah I have a whole video about tracing, I have strong feelings about it haha Basically, if you don't have freehand/drawing/painting skills etc then your drawing isn't going to automatically be fantastic because you traced the outline Tracing is just a tool to get it done faster (I literally don't have time to freehand, even though I am quite capable of doing it) I feel like I'm always defending myself, but I don't know of any successful artist who doesn't trace, I've also never been asked by a client/collector/buyer if I traced my outline, so I'm not really interested in what negative things people have to say about it While everyone is arguing about whether it's cheating or not, I'm over here creating more artwork (faster) which generates more income (faster!)
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt I'm subscribe you yesterday and I'm really great full to you your videos are really dam good 👍👏👌 it's helpful to all like me who interested in art and artists great job I loved your work so thank you so much 🙏
Unfortunately, this was filmed a long time before starting my tutorials so I don't have the footage anymore to create a tutorial! All of my available tutorials inside the Academy can be found here; www.kirstyrebeccafineart.com/krfineartacademylibrary
Hi Kirsty You have given me a lot of inspiration even at 77 after watching your fabulous TH-cam sessions. Can you let me know where I can buy the OMS and what brand. Can I get it at Amazon
Hi! I'm glad you're enjoying the tutorials! It depends which country you live in - I use an Australian brand called Art Spectrum Odourless Solvent, but you can pretty much use any solvent that oil painters use (odorless mineral spirits, odorless solvent, Gamsol, Mona Lisa Paint Thinner, Zest It etc) I have a "Supply List" section on my website where you can find links to the products I use in different countries which might be helpful! www.kirstyrebeccafineart.com/supplylists

Fur detail is always changing. The dog gives himself a good shake and it changes. It is never exactly the same.
Yes, exactly! That's why I always tell people that you don't have to follow the reference exactly, just the general size/direction of the fur detail will be fine 😊
The most useful tutorial yet! Love the identifying reference photos and swatching in Ms paint! So helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
4:12 I still follow the same thing to draw animals. But I did not remember where I saw this trick. Now I remembered...
I can't see any difference between the photo and your drawing. Beautiful, amazing, talented.
Thank you so much 😀

Thanks for sharing an informative ideas
My pleasure 😊
A good photo definitely helps!
We need real time doggy tutorial of something similar to this on patreon
I will definitely add that to my (very long) list! 😊
A really incredible work, I've never seen anyone use a brush to blend and then do the details of the hair like this, it's a very interesting method.
Thank you 😊
The brush has solvent (odourless mineral spirits) which I'm using to blend the pencil 😊

some great tips for taking the ref photos. My number one gripe is getting a commission that is being supplied with crappy ref images. Thankfully, I am also a graphic designer, so my Photoshop skills come to good use.
Definitely! That's why I rarely take on commissions anymore, it takes the joy out of it when you have to work from a "less than ideal" photograph!
Amazing tutorial! Really full of useful information and what beautiful art too!
Thankyou 😊
I'm glad you found it useful!
