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 😊
@@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 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Oh good! Well, I really enjoyed your video. I'm going to try to draw my daughter's dog, Ruby, using your information! Thank you!
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!
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 😊
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. ❤❤❤
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
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.
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 😊
You can use hot pressed watercolour paper (the cold pressed would be too rough) The light colours may not work as well on top of darker colours on the watercolour paper, however all of my techniques are the same 😊
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 😂
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
Hi Valerie, Welcome to Patreon 😊 I just replied to your message on Patreon Unfortunately as I only started Patreon 6 months ago, my older drawings are not available as real-time drawings on Patreon You can check out all of the available drawings here www.kirstyrebeccafineart.com/patreontutoriallibrary I hope you find the tutorials helpful! Regards, Kirsty
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!! 💙💙
love this tutorial! its very helpful. and a eye opener. i always try to get as many details as possible in to a animal portrait. and t dont always look good. what kind of white pens are you using? the white color pens i have do not work over already colored spot with pens like yours do.
I'm glad it was helpful! The most opaque white coloured pencil I have found is the Derwent Drawing Chinese White (you see me use that a lot in this one - it has a red barrel) The reason my white sticks on top of the other colours is actually because of the paper I am using! I'm using the Clairefontaine Pastelmat because it allows many layers of opaque coloured pencil as it has more texture/tooth than a lot of other papers 😊
How long did this take you roughly? Amazing artwork BTW, I'm gonig to use your techniques as I'm trying to draw my nans dog for her ahd this is the best tutorial I've found for white haired dogs!

4:12 I still follow the same thing to draw animals. But I did not remember where I saw this trick. Now I remembered...

Thank you 😊
I see too many video regarding dog drawing in colour pencil but this is the best one so far . Thank you for this tutorial , you help me a lot
Thank you so much 😀 I'm glad it was helpful!
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 😊
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 😊
@@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?

@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Oh how cool to be able to use these brushes, I get it. Thank you so much for giving me these tips, you are a sweetheart.
you’re that youtuber who makes tutorials for the problems i have that are too specific to search up anywhere else, thank you❤

This video is immensely helpful. Thank you.

Hey, I meant this money to go to Kirsty Rebecca, the dog painter. Somehow it went here. Bad TH-cam.

This tutorial has really helped with a commission I'm currently working on. Your drawing skills are amazing 😁
Glad I could help!
Beautiful
Can you use hot or cold press watercolor paper for your techniques?
You can use hot pressed watercolour paper (the cold pressed would be too rough)
The light colours may not work as well on top of darker colours on the watercolour paper, however all of my techniques are the same 😊
Let me just follow you and voila...you explain so well
Thank you 😊
Amazing! ❤️
Thank you! 😄
Seriously the most helpful tutorial I’ve found!

I agree, purples and blues make great shadow colours!
Haha as long as it works for you, that's all that matters 😊
Amazing
Thank you 😊
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
Very interesting! There are so many ways to do things, I haven't heard of that 😊
Can’t believe this shit is FOR FREE. THANKYOU SO MUCHHH
You are very welcome 😊
Thanks this was so helpful

It is so beautiful and I am very impressed. I am just a starter and I wonder what kind of pencil you used to highlight the white fur.
Thank you 😊
The most opaque white coloured pencil I have found is the Derwent Drawing Chinese white
what was the size of the canvas/paper ?
10" x 10" 😊

Would the solvent break through normal cartridge paper
Probably (it's best you do a test piece to find out!)
What white pencil do you use? Is it the red pencil one?
I used a variety of white pencils but the most opaque white I have found is the Derwent Drawing Chinese White
