Happy New Years Eve-Day, everyone!!

I am posting Sketch tutorial #5 today, (which first appeared on my Patreon page for my $5 Patreon members!)
 
Today's tutorial comes to you complete with supply lists, source image uploads, and even a supplemental project for you to try, should you feel bold enough to take on the Challenge!! -Can ya beat that!! -All of this courtesy of your friendly neighborhood artist-at-large.

This session is focused on working with hair, (or fur, rather, in this case), and on rendering values from life. 

I use these vids for my live Virtual sessions twice a month (please check out my Patreon Link below for more info, and reach out if you are interested.)

​Thanks for stopping in, and have a great weekend!
