When drawing realistic horse fur, start with a light sketch of the horse's anatomy. Focus on directional strokes that mimic fur texture. Layer different pencil grades to achieve realistic depth, using a 6B for dark shades and an HB for lighter areas. Observing real-life reference photos can enhance accuracy.
This detailed horse fur study is designed for intermediate artists looking to master texture. The complexity of capturing fur's layering and depth may provide challenges but is rewarding for skill development. This exercise sharpens observational skills and technique refinement, a must for any serious artist.
