I have selected a few sections of Staffa's portrait and as I was working on a larger scale I was able to add so much tiny detail. These details are one of my favoueite parts of any portrait =). - - - 14" x 26" pastel portrait Reference photo my own | Zara's Pet Portraits & Wildlife Art | Facebook

Rum was such a pleasure to draw ❤️. When drawing fur that has a softer, shinier appearance the use of subtle layers is vital. Jumping to the brightest highlights first will significantly reduce the depth and realism that is captured within the entire portrait. Those brightest details should be kept for the last couple of layers and preparing the portrait for those is key. - - - 14" x 26" pastel drawing Reference photo my own | Zara's Pet Portraits & Wildlife Art
