I want to ask one little question.....I have a sketch of a lion ready, BUT I do not know how to begin with the short fur.... Just how did you do it in this piece? It looks really really realistic, and I want to aim at realism

Sure! I used graphite here. What I do first is apply a base of graphite. I don`t work directly on the white of the paper, in otherwords. I take a tissue and smudge my pigment everywhere. Using hard pencils first isnt the best of ideas, because it dents the paper. You can use that later to fill in holes. I smudged with an F pencil. I didnt press too hard neither with the pencil, nor the tissue when smudging because again, we dont want to damage the paper. Then I used a first layer of fur strokes with the F pencil, and then went with softer leads. Sometimes its a good idea toput down your darks, (pupils, etc) to get a nice contrast. Pay close attention to which direction the fur is growing in.
Thank you for the reply

Unfurl: The empty nighttime city with the snowy sky. Desolate and lonely, yet slightly sleepy.

Good job!!!
love how you did the eye.
But i think the drawing would be even better if the contrat, between the head and the background was stronger. What do you think?
