Which Coloured Pencils to Use for Drawing Black Fur | Colour Recipes

A quick video showing all the pencils I used to create a black labrador.

It's common knowledge that black fur is never black, but what colours do you use? We are often told blues and purples, absolutely - but you want your black fur to look black and not blue - so introducing other colours both warm and cool will help to create black fur but with lovely colours shining through.

I've used a range of pencils, and colours, with some unexpected ones to help tone down any areas that were becoming too single colour dominated.

Materials used:
Faber Castell Polychromos
Caran D'Ache Pablos
Caran D'Ache Luminance
Caran D'Ache Museum Aquarell
Derwent Drawings
Clairefontaine Pastelmat Board
