How to draw a realistic cat in graphite. This cat tutorial will share some tips, techniques and tools for drawing fur in graphite. Drawing black and white fur in graphite is all in the layering process. I have a new video on how to draw realistic fur in graphite with voice over. If that's of interest I'll link it below :)

Wonderful video, I much prefer the voiceover videos as well :) This is really wonderful work, I love working in graphite just don't do it enough. It's automatic for me to reach for my coloured pencils, I need to do some more work with graphite. Thanks for sharing :)

@zaratomsart 3 года назад

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm enjoying creating the voice overs. Super busy working on my 1-3 hour Patreon videos which I am hoping to launch soon. I agree, I love graphite. It's the first medium I used and I love it more now. I know what you mean, I grab my colour based mediums first and I have made a plan for 2021 to work more in graphite so that's something I am looking forward to :D

Hi Zara, If you want an easy way to make the graphite powder just break a block into chunks and put it in a pepper grinder (preferably an old one!). For larger quantities I have done this with a NutriBullet. Both ways make a fine powder with a minimal amount of mess. Hope this is also helpful. Thank you again for a great video.

@zaratomsart 2 года назад

Great idea! I usually sand off my graphite sticks to get points and tip that into a pot so I dont waste it haha

This picture is amazing! I'm working on my son's cats and I wish I would have seen this video before I started! I almost want to start over after seeing this, but I'll just crack in with with what I have and try to improve in it. 😁 Thank you for this!

Hi Zara, i love your work and tutorials! How do you put your drawing onto the paper? Do you work freehand or use other methods? Thanks for sharing your work and expertise 😊

Super god video. Jeg er selv vild med graphite

@uniqueartbybernadette Год назад

Such a fantastic tutorial. it's fast, but the way you explain things makes it very easy to follow. One question... do you have a tutorial on how to actually draw cat fur and how to draw the individual hairs if that makes sense . Thankyou x

@zaratomsart Год назад

Thank you. So pleased it was helpful =). I created this tutorial well before I did Patreon but I do have graphite tutorials on Patreon that are all in real time with a voice over whilst I'm drawing so every part is explained thoroughly. I don't have a cat as yet as a tutorial there but that will be the next domestic pet subject which will be March's tutorial =)

How long did this drawing take? I know it’s speeded up but wanted to know as a friend has ask me to drawing a cat portrait and it’s not something I’ve done before so have been procrastinating

@lt6502 3 года назад

I have never used a colour shaper. What size is the one you use? Thank you for this great video suggestion.

@zaratomsart 3 года назад

I like the size 2 and the rounded point as seen in this video =)

@lt6502 3 года назад

@@zaratomsart Thank you that's super. On the hunt for one now.

@lottielouiseart 3 года назад

what microphone do you use to record your voiceovers? It sounds really clear! :)

@zaratomsart 3 года назад

Thanks. It's only the microphone that comes with the webcam I use. I am looking to upgrade my webcam to a camcorder but I will probably still use this for the microphone cos as you say its not to bad. Thw webcam is the Logitech C920 pro =)

Hello, I’m a new subscriber 🙂 what’s the ‘soft tool’ you mention? Looks like an eyeshadow sponge? (!) I’ve just bought a set of colour shaper tools to use with graphite so I arrived here after a search and see you use those too. I mostly do botanicals but I have the idea I might draw a decent stag or dog one day. Perhaps😀

@zaratomsart 2 года назад

Hi, thank you for subscribing =). So those tools actually called 'Sofft Tools' they are made for pastes but work really well for graphite. They blend the graphite beautifully. They come in a few shapes but these small make up shaped ones are my favourite for graphite =)

@herbcroneart 2 года назад

@sarahb.3157 Год назад

Which paper do you use for your graphite artwork?😍😍

@zaratomsart Год назад

I like the Strathmore vellum paper =)

@asksuelondon 3 года назад

You are a fantastic teacher. You should be looking into becomes a teacher on skillshare. One question...when you use the graphite powder does it easily smudge. I mail customers my drawings. Thanks for your help. Xoxo

@zaratomsart 3 года назад

Thank you so much. Thats really kind. I do offer online pastel tutorials on Patreon =). No I have never found it smudges. I never use any fixatives. I ship them with a sheet of glassine over them and then mounted if needed. Never had an issue with smudging =)
