How To Draw Fur: Pencil Shading Techniques For Drawing Animals

In this class I’ll share a simple process for drawing animal fur or hair. I’ll show you the pencil techniques needed for creating realistic looking fur and then we’ll practice drawing three different kinds of fur.

You’ll learn:

• mark making techniques for fur
• shading techniques for fur
• an easy to follow process for drawing fur

This lesson focuses on developing pencil shading skills rather than on finishing a final drawing. We wont be drawing a full animal but instead we’ll practice key techniques to shade swatches of different kinds of fur. You can then take the skills and processes you’ve learnt and apply them to your own drawings!
