Which colours for drawing black fur

In this video I go through all the colours I used when drawing Ryan, the gorgeous black lab. From the usual suspects, to those more unusual colours, like yellow ochre and pink!

It's quite common to see a lot of blue dogs rather than black, and I was very guilty of doing this, because of course we are always told black fur isn't black!

But how do you get a range of colours into you drawings, but still have them look realistic.

Hopefully this video will help you choose colours to complement your usual blues and reds :)

Great, thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™ve noticed you have a few โ€˜staplesโ€™ that crop up a lot (like the cool greys and the light cobalt for glazing) so think Iโ€™ll add to my collection with those as I only have the Polychromos 24 set plus a few extras.

I would say that as I've progressed I've added far more. I would suggest as someone starting out you choose the colours you see and stick with those. As you do more you will start to see more :)

Thanks Bonny, really useful. Going to make a table with โ€˜makeโ€™, โ€˜colourโ€™ and โ€˜how/why youโ€™ve used itโ€™. Would you say have a smaller range of colours when youโ€™re just starting out and gradually add to your toolkit? Itโ€™s a bit overwhelming for beginners to have so many to choose from ๐Ÿคฃ
