No greater complement on instruction than to say it was clear, well illustrated, and practically achievable in a realm where so many examples are not. Well done!
Thankyou, I appreciate it!
I am really aiming to make things as easy and informative as I can, because when I first started out, I found it so hard to get a decent instructional video that made sense!
I hope it helps others out as well 😊
Omg, I should agree with a girl that said this was the best tutorial! The high saturation, etc changed my perception and you can see all colours properly! Thank you
You're so welcome!
The most useful tutorial yet! Love the identifying reference photos and swatching in Ms paint! So helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Fur detail is always changing. The dog gives himself a good shake and it changes. It is never exactly the same.
Yes, exactly! That's why I always tell people that you don't have to follow the reference exactly, just the general size/direction of the fur detail will be fine 😊
so talented! I love watching your videos, so informative and helpful. Thanks so much Kirsty xx
Thankyou, I'm glad you find them useful 😊
Thankyou for your fantastic tutorials. You explain the techniques and process so clearly it's helped me get to another level in my own art. I've been using pastels for over 40 years but I have picked up so many tips and advice from these tutorials than I did in art school!
Thank you, I'm glad the tutorials are helpful for you! 😊
This was an AMAZING tutorial. I have watched tons and tons of them and I am very impressed with your technique and your way to make everything easy to understand and to follow. THANK YOU! I’m using this one to try and draw my Westie with color pencils. I also subscribed to your channel 😊
Thankyou 😊
I try to make it easy to follow so I'm so glad it was helpful for you!
A great explanation on explaining the best references for an art project!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for your tutorials, they are very helpful and easy to follow!
You're very welcome! 😊
Excellent, very informative and enjoyable tutorial. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I love this video! The most comprehensive video on dog fur I've seen. I found this while searching for something close to my cream colored lab x terrier. I realized I'd probably have to refer to a few different videos for help but this was a great "all inclusive" video.
Thankyou, I'm glad it's helpful!
I try to include tips and explanations that you can use on other subjects as well 😊
Coooooool tip on the eye dropper/color matching technique! Super helpful tutorial.

I see too many video regarding dog drawing in colour pencil but this is the best one so far . Thank you for this tutorial , you help me a lot
Thank you so much 😀 I'm glad it was helpful!
Thankyou for this tutorial you have helped tremendously. I’ve been struggling with white fur, never thought to use different pencils-with pastel pencils/blocks. Love the pastelmat paper. Trying to do a picture on film paper, to try and make the picture pop off the page. Your does just that. Thankyou again, looking forwards to watching all your other videos.
Glad it was helpful 😊
You are amazing! And what an awesome, informative and thorough tutorial!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you 😊
This is the most informative drawing tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you so much for this!! P.s your work is stunning 👌🏻
You're welcome 😊
Wow! What an amazing instructional video. I don’t work in coloured pencil, but I do in acrylic paint. I hope that I will be able to transfer some of these amazing tips to that medium. Thank you very much for sharing your incredible talent with us!
Thank you 😊
Yes, you can definitely use most of these tips for any medium!

Thank you 😊
Fantastic tutorial and sooooooo useful! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Omg! Your artwork is so pretty! I LOVE your artwork btw!!
Thank you so much!!
Lovely tutorial, I found mars violet (in with other colours) a lovely colour for shadows, it’s my favourite pencil! I’m glad you use the drawing pencils and softer ones first as i found that works for me too! I feel like I must be doing something right now 😂
I agree, purples and blues make great shadow colours!
Haha as long as it works for you, that's all that matters 😊
I love so much I never used colored pencils but I would like to try. Thank you for a beautiful video
You’re welcome 😊
I love how you teach. Easy to understand. I have never used colored pencils but want to try them.
Thanks so much 😊
Fantastic ,thankyou for sharing
Thank you Kristy
Magnifique, merci !

You're welcome 😊
Just found you, wow, thank you that's so brilliant as well as being very helpful 😀
Glad it was helpful!
Very shiny! Well done :D
Thanks! 😄
Excellent tutorial. I am debating about whether to use Pastelmat or a smoother paper for a white Samoyed. Now I'm tempted to follow your example. Thanks
Either is great, but they work differently, so it depends on the results you are after 😊
Pastelmat allows you to add more opaque colour on top of previous layers (even white highlights), but the end result tends to look a little more grainy up close in comparison to smoother papers!
Thank you Kirsty. You were quite helpful
You’re welcome 😊
Oh, wow. You are a really great artist 👏👍😊
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing! ❤️
Thank you! 😄
Really It's so beautiful!!!
Thank you so much 😀
love this tutorial! its very helpful. and a eye opener. i always try to get as many details as possible in to a animal portrait. and t dont always look good. what kind of white pens are you using? the white color pens i have do not work over already colored spot with pens like yours do.
I'm glad it was helpful!
The most opaque white coloured pencil I have found is the Derwent Drawing Chinese White (you see me use that a lot in this one - it has a red barrel)
The reason my white sticks on top of the other colours is actually because of the paper I am using! I'm using the Clairefontaine Pastelmat because it allows many layers of opaque coloured pencil as it has more texture/tooth than a lot of other papers 😊
Wonderful!
Glad you think so!
You amaze me....... truly amazing, your talent wow
Thank you 😊
Excellent instructions.
Glad you think so!
A really incredible work, I've never seen anyone use a brush to blend and then do the details of the hair like this, it's a very interesting method.
Thank you 😊
The brush has solvent (odourless mineral spirits) which I'm using to blend the pencil 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Ah I see, it looks so natural from my perspective, it looks beautiful in two ways when you blend it and when you finish it. the brush is a flat brush right?
What numbering do you use to make the details? Your work is simply incredible, here in Brazil I've never really seen it done with this technique, it's very beautiful. :)
@@lizi2641 the type of brush isn't really important (I use a range of sizes/styles( but in general an acrylic/oil brush works well - I use super cheap ones because they tend to get damaged with this technique 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Oh how cool to be able to use these brushes, I get it. Thank you so much for giving me these tips, you are a sweetheart.
Thanks this was so helpful
No problem 😊
4:12 I still follow the same thing to draw animals. But I did not remember where I saw this trick. Now I remembered...
I absolutely love this tutorial. I watched it on youtube and was so impressed I joined your Patreon. Do you have this tutorial in real-time?
Hi Valerie,
Welcome to Patreon 😊

I hope you find the tutorials helpful!

Kirsty
Thanks!
Love, love, love this tutorial! So many questions that I have had were answered in this video especially with using Pastelmat. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Great tips 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video - thank you! Could the Chinese white pencil - or a Prisma - be used over watercolour to add some hi-lites?
Thank you 😊
It definitely can, just make sure you do it in that order (watercolour first - let it dry, then add coloured pencil) to avoid any archival issues!
your art is amazing I am so jealous!! I have been trying to sketch my dog (she's a bichon) and this is what I found even tho it's a sketch video helped a lot!! even tho I haven't actually started yet!! I have a better idea of what to do!! 💙💙
Thankyou 😊
I'm glad you found it useful! Good luck with your bichon drawing!
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt thanks!! 💙💙
Muy bueno el video
Thank u...so detailed....
Thank you 😊
TIP: Hy Kirsty, thank you for your super clear video lessons.
I don't know if you've already tried it, but the underpainting of pastels sometimes smears like that…so I first do the underpainting with GC albrecht dürer watercolor pencils, which I blend with water (of course) then continue with pastels. Greetings Julia Bos (I wrote a question in Patreon, did you see that?
Thanks Rebecca this was a fantastic tutorial & very inspirational. Do you have any white horse tutorials anywhere?
Thankyou, glad you found it helpful 😊
I don't at this stage unfortunately!
You can clearly see you did a good job when you have 12 dislikes only! And almost a 1000 likes 👍❤ I liked too :) also the people who disliked are just mad that their not as talented and they just gave up and it wasent your fault their not putting hard work in their art work 👏👏 good job
Edit daily reminder : don't give up , but instead try harder! Try more! Work harder, then you'll get there no no effort = no goals
Thank you 😊
I don't pay attention to the dislikes to be honest!
Every interaction helps my CZcams channel grow, even if they "dislike" my videos, so they're doing me a favour 😊
Really love the tutorial!!! I do have a question though. If I have prismacolor pencils and I have a commission to do on a dog as well, could I still use white gel pens and then finish the drawing off with a matte spray fixative to preserve it better so the gel pen does not flake? Its worked in the past, but did not know for sure if it was good to keep the pencil and pen down on the paper. (Also, what paper should I use for the portrait if I am using prismacolor wax based pencils?)
Thank you 😊
I personally wouldn't risk it, just in case. I wouldn't want my clients to come back in 5 or 10 years time because something happened to the drawing
However, if you want to do it, I'd just let your clients know that you've used products that aren't archival and it may change the look of the piece over time
You can use the Brush and Pencil products to create bright white highlights (and it's archival) if you need to! This tutorial shows you how you can do that, if it helps! czcams.com/video/F20-ST5D-k4/video.html
In terms of paper, it's totally up to you - everyone is different and prefers different papers for the techniques they like to use
I personally like to use solvent to blend, so I work on Clairefontaine Pastelmat or Watercolour paper. There are other artists who prefer drafting film, Strathmore Bristol or other smoother papers as well. I'd suggest finding an artist who's work you admire, and ask them what supplies they use 😊
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial on this dog. The dog is exactly like my dog that passed away. I will use your tutorial to draw my dog.
You're welcome 😊
Hello Kirsty, I've just found your channel and I LOVE your tutorials and technique! I just want to ask you if you use any special fixative that works fine with pastels? I used a fixative that I had for years for colored pencil pictures, however the pastels blended together and all of the details just disappeared. Maybe I used too much of it, I don't know. Thanks for the tips!
Thankyou, I'm glad you like them 😊
I have bought Spectrafix for pastels based on a recommendation from Jason Morgan but I'm yet to use it 😅
It's natural and doesn't change the colours much at all!
The spray comes in a pump bottle so he pours it into a spray bottle that has a more continuous flow so you don't end up with blotchy areas
But you can search "Jason Morgan pastel fixative" and it should come up on CZcams! He has a really in depth video where he's tested a bunch of fixatives 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Thank you!!
Hi, I'm impressed by your tutorial. What brand colour pencils & what type of paper do you use? Please advise me the same
Thank you so much 😀
All of my supplies are linked in the description!
Great love it! What did you use for the white color pencil I saw it was red on the outside ? Thanks
Thank you 😊
That is the Derwent Drawing Chinese White (most opaque white pencil I have found so far!)
love this - I am a patreon of yours - where will i find this full length tutorial as i dont see it and want to practise doodle curly fur thank you

Thankyou :)
Glad it was helpful!
This is so beautiful! How long did it take you to draw this? Thanks for this tutorilal!
Thankyou 😊
Honestly I couldn't tell you! I worked on it for a few hours each day over a week or two, and didn't really keep track of the hours 🤔 I'd guess somewhere between 5 and 8 hours!
Amazing
Thank you 😊
Beautiful Kristy what medium did say that you are using to blend your Pastel?
Thankyou 😊
I use solvent to blend the coloured pencil
There are a few different kinds of solvent (and they're labelled all different names depending on the country) but the main ones I know of are;
Odourless solvent
Odourless mineral spirits
Turpentine (or odourless turpentine)
Gamsol
Zestit
Any solvent that oil painters use that you buy from an art shop will work just fine 😊
Hope that helps!
Kirsty, this video is amazing! Could you please share the colors you used. I'm having a difficult time with the oranges not turning green!
Hi Catherine,
I didn't keep track of the colours I used for this piece unfortunately!
I do list all of my colours and talk about each colour in using in real time on my Patreon tutorials if that's something that might help you! No pressure, of course 😊
This is the link if you want to check it out www.patreon.com/kirsty_rebecca_fine_art
We need real time doggy tutorial of something similar to this on patreon
I will definitely add that to my (very long) list! 😊
You are so good at art
Thankyou 😊
This looks amazing Kirsty! Great tutorial, I have a drawing I plan on doing when I feel confident enough since it is more of a memorial piece, and I want to do it justice. It has a good amount of white fur and so this was a huge help. I was just wondering scale wise how large was the final piece? I think the level of detail is perfect for what I was thinking of doing. I was considering doing mine as an 8x10 so that I can use one of the picture frames I have.
Thankyou, I'm glad you found it useful 😊
It's 10 inch by 10 inch so the level of detail would be the equivalent to your 8x10
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt You're very welcome, I find many of your tutorials very helpful. Your videos are always very well done. Thanks so much. 😉❤
Hello Kristy have been searching for how to use colored pencil to color a white daisy. Wonder if this technique would work for coloring a daisy on white paper? This is the best video explaining on how to do white. Do not have artistic drawing ability but this is the best video on white so thank you so much.
It will definitely work!
I use the same techniques for any subject, on any colour paper haha
It's just super helpful with white, specifically 😊
It is so beautiful and I am very impressed. I am just a starter and I wonder what kind of pencil you used to highlight the white fur.
Thank you 😊
The most opaque white coloured pencil I have found is the Derwent Drawing Chinese white
Hi! On your brush for blending are you wetting it? Or is it dry?
It's solvent 😊
