Use dark colors and firm pressure for the darkest fur, while leaving the lightest areas white. Horse Take note of the many textures in this horse’s profile: the shine on the mane and body; the prickly whiskers; and the smooth leather and metallic rings on the bridle. Lory Using multiple shades of red for this lory, learn to create highlights and depth with subtle blending and shading techniques. Very sharp pencils will allow for the crisp detail around the eye and in the definition of the feathers. Leopard Pay close attention to perspective when drawing this leopard’s facial features, as the head is turned at a three-quarter angle. Draw curved guidelines in the earlier steps to remind you of the leopard’s body position. To look natural, the spots must follow the form of the body.
