RE: Mechanical Pencil Drawing - Ran Art Blog
Beautiful, especially nice to see the sketch and then the final result when your created the texture, fur and hair are the most difficult things for me to draw. But when it is well done, then it looks really great!
I agree, fur is tricky, especially because each fur is different (same with hair).
I go with the direction of the hair, working in layers, and mostly I pay attention to the structure and values.
The texture comes with mileage.
In addition, fur and hair are soft, so they do have softness to their edges.
You can use a synthetic brush (small one) to gently soften the fur or hair, but do not overdo it, so it won't look too smudgy.
In this article, I mostly showed sketches, which are much faster than drawings.
Meaning, you can draw fur and hair if you mostly focus on values, and transitions in values, with a bit of suggestion to the texture.
Sometimes, the texture is like small abstract triangles, if that makes sense.
