how do you do your lineless drawings and how do you do your fur?... Also how do you manage to pick the perfect dark shades and highlights on animals with lots of markings?....

CobraVenom In reply to xXMacoyXx [2013-08-11 08:20:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, this one is a bit outdated but it's basically how I draw fur - cobravenom.deviantart.com/art/…
As for shading and highlights, I study photos of real animals to see how the light affects them
I hope this helps

Burdfeet [2012-06-29 10:25:01 +0000 UTC]

Very neat lighting and color! The more visible front leg seems a bit small in proportion with the head, but other than that, it's a wonderful painting!

CobraVenom In reply to Burdfeet [2012-07-13 05:55:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!

I can see what you mean about the leg. Its funny how when you go back to a picture you see thousands of flaws, yet when you first drew it everything seemed right
I'll try to avoid that in future pictures

Wow! I really love this, especially the lighting and such. But one question, which brush did you use to make your trying to pick right word fur? might be a stupid question, but thanks!
