Hi Ed,

Yes, all of the comments are monitored and even though this course is older, it is still very active.

So I am curious how much detail I need to put in my working outline ? Right now I am still using a light board. I hope to quit using it as I draw more animals and get proportions down.
As far as details with a light board I can go down to the nares on the nose and fur direction, even small groups of furr. Should I just be doing an outline and the placement of the eyes, nose and ears or should I do more minute changes?
Glad I happend to find this site. I think this lesson is going to be very helpful for me.

Thanks Ed

What if the dog had curly hair, like a toy poodle. How would you create the illusion of texture for a curly haired dog?

We call it the indentation method using an indentation tool

I am using this video as a guide for drawing a different dog, and he is a black and grey and white dog, but you said that black is not a very naturally occurring color, do you have any suggestions on what colors I should use? Greys and brown mixed with blues to make black or something else?

Thank you for your time!

But, I’m learning SOOOO much already. I’ve done some drawing before, but am thrilled to be learning so many new things. I appreciated the earlier comment about color selection as I’ve come up with some less than appealing color combos!

Great course; I’ll be going through again

I did okay with the peppers and the apples, but I only have 12 coloured pencils as i wasn’t really sure what to get in the beginning. I also don’t have this picture so can’t really follow it. I would love to be able to draw animals but unfortunately I’ll have to skip this bit until I’m a bit more advanced.
It would have been nice right at the start to have been told more about the actual supplies needed.

Hi Peter,

There’s not a lot of science here. I typically try to match colors based on intuition. I may grab several colors and make a few test marks. It’s not as important as you may think to match colors. What matters more is matching values. Knowing color theory is exceptionally important in choosing colors and mixing them.
