How to draw fur | BEGINNER tips | pastel pencils

How to draw fur with pastel pencils and make better art! If you're a beginner, practice these techniques to start drawing realistic fur with pastel pencils.

Common mistakes I see are:
Patchy underpaintings
Not enough tone and depth
Thick fur markings
No direction to the fur!

We can fix all of these issues and get you drawing realistic fur (with a bit of practice, of course!). You can find full drawing tutorials from start to finish on my Gumroad channel:
