Introduction:
First of all thank you for choosing this eBook as your guide in Pastel Art, This is the Second eBook for the Pastel Art Series The first one is – “Learn How to Paint Portraits of People Using Pastels For the Beginner”, for this Second series we will be drawing and rendering animal fur and it’s specific texture using Pastel.
I remember as a kid I admired people who could draw and render animals, with just a pencil strokes, but as years goes by, my love and curiosity for art alone are not enough, so I seek for more ways to inspire me and appreciate art by immersing myself to some other medium, and I found out that pastel can really add something to my animals artwork as it has colors which can give life to your drawing aside from contenting myself from pencil alone. I can assure you that if you try this, you will be amazed with it.
So read it from start to finish, the first part is about what to expect in Pastel art, styles and techniques, and a discussion of colors, tips to remember, and how to render Pastel using Brushes, which is the key for rendering and blending Pastels.
