Drawing a Yellow Labrador in Graphite 🖊️

How to draw lighter fur like this yellow Labrador is all in how we layer. I'll share the process of adding and subtracting detail to build more depth and capture more realism in our graphite portraits. Drawing fur in graphite will depend on the fur texture and colour of the animal but the fundamentals are the same... Subtle layers and contrast are key.
