In this exclusive realtime tutorial, we’ll draw a hyper-realistic kitty portrait on A3 drawing pad paper with an 11×14 inch area, focusing on building soft yet detailed fur textures. Using a combination of B, 3B, 5B, and 8B pencils along with blending tools, kneaded erasers, and the Mono Zero eraser, you’ll learn how to layer base tones, add curved hairlines with natural fading, and balance light and dark contrast for lifelike depth. The lesson also covers realistic treatment of the eyes, nose, cheeks, whiskers, and neck with both sharp and blurred details to match focus. References are included in the Materials section.
