In the sixth of our tutorials we are creating a colourful pet portrait.
Before you start
You will need pencil, rubber, and your own set of soft pastels. From your art pack use the muted colour pastel paper, chalk, charcoal, and colour shaper.
In this tutorial I am drawing my Cockapoo, Cosmo. However, you are welcome to choose a photo of your own pet. This photo needs to be clear, well lit, and large enough for you to see real detail in the face and eyes. In the time that we have it is better to concentrate on these details, which is what I do in the video.
Or you could follow my steps drawing Cosmo and implement these doing your own pet another time – a couple of different options to choose from. Download the reference photo here: pastel-pet-ref
