Follow me as I guide you through this portrait of a beautiful Black Labrador. I focus on creating contrast, depth and values. (Making sure the darks are dark enough and lights light enough).
 
From the initial line art, to the finished portrait; this 5.5 hour real time tutorial with my voiceover, takes you through layering and blending pastel pencils on Pastelmat to create a realistic looking portrait. 
The video is split into 2 sections so you can watch at your own pace. 
 
Suitable for all abilities, created in a manageable length of time, for you to be able to immerse yourself in the piece, without being tight for time.

Upon purchasing this tutorial, you'll recieve a PDF file containing 2 individual links to videos on a private youtube channel, the reference photo, a line drawing and a full material list. It will be available, once downloaded, for as long as you need it.
