How to Draw Tabby Fur with Coloured Pencils | Top Tips

Here are a few of my tips for creating gorgeous, realistic tabby fur using the indenting method on Hot Press paper with the help of a Pergamano tool.

I’ll show you how to use your indenting tool, give you tips on layering your colours, and also how to take colour away to really add to the overall look and texture of your drawing.

I hope you enjoy and find this helpful for your future drawings!
