Figure 15-27. Light source determined and initial shading added

Step 7.

Now that the shaded areas have for the most part been designated, go back over these areas with hatching to add a fur texture. This hatching can be somewhat random but should be generally aligned in similar directions. The hatching in the chest, shoulders, and arms is generally directed down the arm towards the hands, and the hatching below the chest and into the legs is directed towards the feet.

The direction of the fur is only the starting direction. Remember that wind and gravity are the main forces acting on the fur, the longer the hair or fur, the more these forces affect it. This means that regardless of the starting direction, these forces may act on the individual furs to bend them. Many of the hatch marks are not going to be straight but will be slightly curved.

The last thing to note about the fur hatching is that the hatch marks aren’t a constant thickness. Greater pressure is applied to the beginning of the stroke and decreases across the stroke. This makes the mark fade to a slightly tapered point. To do this, don’t allow the pencil tip to touch the paper over the whole stroke. Start with the pencil firmly on the paper and with a bit of a flick in the direction of the fur, move the pencil up off the paper. The result is a line with a solid base that fades to a thin point at the tip, similar to fur.
