Art TRADER m a g a z i n e Step 5: The fine details Now add in fur - density and markings. Look for the direction in which it runs and distinctive patterning. Don’t forget the hair in the ears! Hair can be depicted in a series of strokes - long extended “V”s for long furred creatures and neck ruffs/manes, short “l”s for short furred creatures or just a flat coour for the very short furred animals, like horses. Also note that most mammals have whiskers. These are more pronounced in the smaller prey animals, but even large ones like horses have bristles about their lips and nostrils. DO NOT feel you have to draw EVERY single whisker. About 3-5 on each side should be sufficient. Gel pens work well for whiskers - try silver or white (on dark-furred animals). Color If using coloring pencils, choose a range of colours. Most animals have a range of shading in their fur - especially brown or grey ones. Note: these colors pertain to the Faber-Castell Polychromos, my preferred pencils. You can find the chart of colors here: http://www.faber-castell.de/ (under “color chart”). Black Black, purple or indigo, dark (paynes) grey, medium grey, light purple or blue for highlights. Grey Light grey, medium grey, dark grey, black. Use indigo for added emphasis of shadows. A light blue-grey can be useful but use it carefully and don’t get into the bright blues. -62- White White, ivory, cream or pale blue, light grey. Be careful about overdoing the blues.

Try to avoid using red or extremely bright orange as this looks unnatural. Now it’s your turn! Here are some photographic references taken by Yours Truly. See what you can make of them. Try and work out what lifestyle the animal leads! Good luck and happy drawing!
