Description Tutorial for painting a close-up of a Wolf (or any other furry creature).

WARNING: large file. It might take a while before the tutorial shows up on your screen, so please, be patient. I was too lazy to add a preloader...

Use the buttons at the top of the tutorial to navigate through the slides. I have no idea why the text has turned out jagged and hard to read, so I apologise if you have difficulties reading it.

ARTIST'S COMMENTS



Thank you ever so much for my second DD ~AnimalLover345 and ^shelldevil !

EDIT: Due to popular demand I re-named the tutorial more appropriately "How to Paint a Wolf".

EDIT 2: Fixed all known spelling mistakes.


A tutorial I pulled together of my last Wolf piece. I don't know if it will be of help or use to anyone, but there's no harm in making one anyway! Please bear in mind that this is the first time I've drawn something this furry this close up, so I'm sure there are other ways of doing this too.

If you have any problems with viewing the tutorial or any questions or problems in general, please let me know. I'll be happy to help as much as I can Other than that, hope you enjoy it and maybe even learn something from it!

NOTE: The tutorial explains functions and options available in Adobe Photoshop CS2. Any older or newer version of Photoshop should still work just as well. I have no experience in any other digital editing program (such as GIMP or Corel Painter) so I have no idea to what extent you can follow the tutorial there. If anything, it might just give you an idea of how to draw similarly, but you will have to find out on your own I'm afraid.

Can you please help where the hell to select "Airbrush Pan Opacity Flow"?

ahillesus In reply to ahillesus [2011-11-09 21:35:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh I`ve found, thanks. IN Adobe CS3 "transfer" box is called "Other dinamics" option.

cerona In reply to ahillesus [2011-11-07 13:46:43 +0000 UTC]

The Airbrush is a brush from the list of brushes available in CS2. I'm not sure if it's in the default list of any of the other Photoshop versions however. If you hover your mouse over the different brushes in your list, it should show you the name of the brush. Alternatively, you can just select a normal hard brush and enable airbrush mode individually (a button next to the "flow" and "opacity" options). In order to get opacity and flow set, go to the brush menu (window > brush) and tick the "transfer" box. In the "transfer" menu, you can then set opacity jitter and flow jitter to pen pressure and you'll get the same effect as you would from this brush. Hope that cleared it up!

Fantastic Tutorial! I plan to use this when I get my tablet, doing all those hairs with a mouse might drive me crazy >.<

Thank you Yeah it's probably best and easiest to use with a tablet compared to a mouse - I can imagine it would get very manic after a while
