Drawing a Fluffy Cat with Coloured Pencils | Part 1 | Focus on the Eyes

Part 1 of drawing this lovely Fluffy Cat and we’ll be focusing on the eyes.

I’ll talk you through how to layer your colours to create the depth and detail needed for realistic eyes, the techniques I use to remove pigment to keep highlights really nice and sharp, and how to keep your darks dark while adding shadow. Plus, I’ll mention a few useful tips that I always swear by when drawing in coloured pencil.

I hope you enjoy watching!
