How to paint a Giraffe in acrylics | Painting fur in acrylics

In this tutorial I'll show how to paint a giraffe in acrylics. For this Giraffe painting I tried to create one of the most photo realistic paintings I could. I worked with building many layers, good brush technique, contrast and glazes to capture the three dimensional shape of this animal. When painting fur in acrylics these factors play an important role right from the base layers up to the final details. - - - Pastel, Acrylic, Graphite & Tutorials: Patreon: www.patreon.com/zaratomsart Would you like to see what tutorials I have on Patreon?
