How to draw wavy fur in graphite | Tips for drawing realistic fur

In this tutorial I'll show how to draw wavy, curly fur in graphite. I'll explain the importance of layers, pencil technique and contrast to build maximum depth and realism in our graphite portraits. Drawing realistic fur is a combination of factors that are made easier by focusing on each layer individually. Drawing the wrong layer or section of fur to soon can massively limit the amount of depth that is achieved. I hope the tips and techniques help to bring more realism to your graphite pet portraits =). - - - Pastel, Acrylic, Graphite & Tutorials: Patreon: www.patreon.com/zaratomsart Would you like to see what tutorials I have on Patreon?
