Smile! This giraffe in colored pencil just might be the cutest at-home challenge yet! Using Faber-Castell and Derwent pencils along with an embossing tool, you will master techniques for animal hair and subtle backgrounds.

The clear and detailed instruction by artist Alan Jones will guide you through every step, color choice, tool and method.

What you'll learn:

Embossing: How to use it to bring texture like hair and ridges to life.

Short and Long Hair Strokes: From the size and direction of your pencil stroke to layering colors step by step, Alan walks you through perfecting realistic animal hair.

Derwent Coloursoft: These buttery soft pencils enable you build up strong vibrant layers with ease and they blend well. Using these with the Derwent Studio and Ploychromos for finer details you will achieve optimal results.

Focus: Learn how a simple blurred background can make the subject just pop!

About In-Depth Tutorials:

Created by master colored pencil artists, each In-Depth tutorial features 30+ steps and focuses on teaching you why and not just how the artist applies their technique. No book or video comes close to the amount of instruction in an In-Depth tutorial. Art instruction books typically contain 4-6 steps per demo. That just scratches the surface! With large images and 30 or more steps, In-Depth tutorials truly show you exactly how the artist works, making it easy to truly learn new colored pencil techniques and achieve success.

Note: Drawing paper and colored pencils are not included. See list of supplies needed in the images. Polychromos pencil name changes can be found here.
