How to Depict White Fur

past Peggy Osborne

White fur was e'er the hardest thing for me to draw. Then I discovered two things: It's a whole lot easier to depict on tone colored newspaper and white is non only white.

I used French greys, cool greys, lavenders, blues, beiges, and of grade white. I followed the reference picture very closely and picked the colors I saw in the reference earlier starting.

Of course as I work, I may see a color that I tin add to the collection.

Here I used a grey Canson Mi-Teintes Pastel Paper (smooth side) and Prismacolor pencils. Towards the stop of the drawing I also used Castor and Pencil Titanium White mixture for the flyway hairs and brightest highlights.

Now on to the tutorial!

Footstep ane

I start with a detailed sketch which is basically my route map. Information technology shows me where to apply the correct colors.

Step 2

I ever like to exercise the eyes first, and begin with White in the highlight, and Black and Dark Chocolate-brown for the eye. The hair around the eye was drawn with 70% French Grey and Light Umber.

And then I move on to the white fur. The shadowed fur below the eyes is done with layers of Beige Sienna and l% French Grayness blended with White.

The hair above the eyes is drawn with hair-like strokes post-obit the direction of the hair growth with 20% Cool Grey, Cloud Blue, and touches of Greyed Lavander and Biscuit Sienna. I then add White to blend these all together.

I echo this a few more times to make full the tooth of the paper.

Step 3

Onto the ears. I'll show a bit more particular of how I do the white fur.

If you zoom in and expect close you can see that I laid in the darker colors first to arrange the direction of the fur and draw the shadows. I used xx% Absurd Grey, Greyed Lavender, Putty Beige, and fifty% Cool Grey.

I blend those colors with White, then add more than layers of shadow colors where needed to requite it depth.

Once once more I keep adding layers of color until the molar of the paper is filled.

The other ear is done the aforementioned way. Just remember layer, layer, layer.

Footstep four

Moving on to the muzzle, I once more apply the same colors and method as with the ears. I add hair-like strokes of fifty% Cool Grey, Greyed Lavender, and Biscuit Sienna.

Equally always, I use a sharp pencil with a light bear on and follow the reference photo closely.

In the chin area, I layer Beige Sienna, fifty% French Greyness, Putty Beige, and White.

I go along layering and burnishing with White to make full the molar of the paper. Yous'll notice that the colors are warmer in this area than the residue of the dog.

I volition practice a tutorial on drawing a nose, oral fissure and teeth i twenty-four hour period. For now I have completed the mouth and teeth using shades of Black Grape, Peach, Pink, Greyed Lavender, White, and Black.

The fur on the shoulder is drawn as shown before on the ears.

Step 5

I finished the shoulder past layering the aforementioned colors and burnishing with White to fill the molar of the newspaper.

I used Titanium White mixture to add hairs over the pencil to create a 3D event and added depth to the fur.

Titanium White was designed for colored pencil and is archival.

Pace vi

I completed the petty jacket with much the same technique; layering the colors to get the effect I want. I will practise a tutorial eventually on cartoon fabric or something similar to prove the method.

Here I used Mulberry and Violet with White to lighten the areas in light, then deepened the color with Violet in the shadow areas.

I finished the dots and trim with Blackness.

Step vii

Once more I show the comparison photos as this is something I do with every portrait I depict to compare values, contrast and likeness. This helps me run across the differences and what I need to arrange. First in color then black and white.

Finally, I used the Titanium White mixture to pull some hairs over the clothing and a few strings of fur hither and at that place to consummate the portrait.

Here is the finished piece.

That's how Peggy draws white fur.
