The 3D form is really important-fur changes its shape depending on its position and perspective, so you need to know the curves of the surface you’re putting it on. Instead, it’s better to create a sketch focusing on the 3D form of the body.
Are you ready? What to Do Before Adding Fur Step 1įirst, it’s not necessary to draw a perfectly clean piece of line art, if you intend to have all the lines covered in the end. To make the body look fluffy, and not simply “covered with a photo texture”, you need to put much more work into the whole process. Unfortunately, no matter how realistic a single stroke looks, it doesn’t simply translate to the whole body. What Not to Doīecause these brushes are colorful, you may be tempted to use them on their own-just paint over the whole body, and then add the shading to make it less flat. I’ve created a nice brush set with fur textures as an example, and you can download it in that tutorial for free! This is exactly the set I’ll be using today. Recently I’ve published a short tutorial on Envato Tuts+ on how to import brushes into Sketchbook Pro. So in this tutorial I’ll show you how to use such a fur brush pack in your art process. However, while they make drawing fur easier, they still don’t make it easy. Realistic fur is very difficult to draw-that’s why digital artists often use custom brush sets for this purpose.
