In this tutorial I'll share some tips for drawing white fur in graphite. When drawing white fur on white paper in graphite the contrast and values are really important. The biggest tip is white fur is never truly white and each tonal change from light to dark is what will make our portrait more realistic. As white fur is never actually white graphite can be a effective medium for this type of portrait. We don't have to have a dark background or paper colour to make white fur stand out. I hope the tips and techniques shared in this video help to add more realism into your own pet portraits =).
