Acrylic Painting : Learn How To Paint Cute Little Bunny

1. Intro: There's something effortless, heart melting about Bunny's cuteness. Bunny's doesn't try to be adorable. It simply is in the most natural and pure way. Bernie acrylic painting isn't just about technique. It is about capturing innocence, warmth, and a quiet sense of wonder that instantly connects with anyone who sees it. Hello, friends. My name is Mohini Sinha, and I'm from India. And most of you know me as Mohini Art Gallery from my Instagram account. I mostly do nature related painting, mostly related to nature. So in this class, we will be learning complete bunny painting, starting from how to mix and make the perfect match of colors, how to mix the perfect color which we have used in our painting like that of the background colors. Then how to use the details of using the brushes. Then comes how to do the blocking part, how to paint with flat brush, the blocking, then the fan brush details to create some nice furry textures. Then comes the blocking of the bunny with the darker and the lighter colors using round brush, then giving some nice line textures, some nice furry textures to the entire painting. And finally, the final steps of creating some shadow effect to the bunny. So this is how we will be completing the entire painting from scratch to finish. So let's start with this cute little bunny painting, and I'm so excited to share the entire process with you guys. So let's start with it. And 2. Materials Required: Welcome back. So let's discuss about the materials first. So let's talk about the colors which we will be using here. So this is the painting which we will doing. Let's talk about the background colors, how to mix and make that background color. So the colors first what I have taken here, you can see five to six colors which I have taken here. So the first color is yellow ochre. So this is yellow ochre. And then the second color, which is the burnt umber. So this is the then comes the third one, which is black. That is charcoal black or then the fourth one is pains gray. Then white color and Alazarin crimson. So my Alazarin crimson, I'll just take it out. This has already dried because summer has started, so colors dry very fast. So you can keep some spray water spray to keep your colors wet. So this is Alazarin crimson, and the last color is white. So all these colors we will be needing for our painting. So let's first talk about the background color. So for the background color, I'm mixing the yellow ochre, paints gray and white mix to get a yellowish, grayish texture, as you can see over here. So this is the color which we will be using for our background. If you don't have Pains gray, you can use black and little bit of Christian blue you can add to it to make that color. So this is somewhat this type of color, which we will be using for our background. So you can see this type of color. So this is the color which we will be using for our background. Now, let's talk about the colors, which is the lighter color. So a little bit more lighter than the one which we have drawn. So a little bit up and down is fine, but the similar color which we will be using for the background portion. Now comes the darker one and the lighter one. The eyes is simply black, and then comes the area which is the dark and the light one. So let's talk about that first. So I'm just taking white first. Let me take out a little bit more of white because here lots of white will be used. So make sure that you have lots of white color. So again, taking white and a little bit of paints gray and a little bit of black mix to make a color, a little lighter version. So the lighter version will be somewhat like this color. Then comes the darker version, which is a dark grayish color, as you can see. This is the dark grayish color for the darker portion. All these colors we will be using for our painting, and then comes the mix of this brown and Alazarin and little bit of black. This is the color for the ears. All these colors we will be using for our complete painting. So let's talk about the brushes which we will be using for our painting. So the brushes are these which we will be using. Most of them are the rigor and the liner brush of size two by zero, three by zero, zero. So all these are different different sizes of the thin brush, liner brush, as you can say, where we will create some thin lines on entire portions. So this has to be practiced. If you're not very good at it, practice it first and then go for this painting. Then comes the round brush of different sizes like six and eight we will be using for blocking. Then the flat brush also for blocking, there are two different sizes, small and big. Then comes the Bristol fan brush for giving that details of the foreground, which you have seen, like a fur details. So this is the brush we will use. So simple dry brush and some nice textures like this we will add to the lower portion. And you can see here. So this is how we will add. So now comes the base. You can use any base, but here I'm using canvas, which is primed. I have primed it two, three times, and you can see this is around stretched canvas which I'm using here. You can use any canvas whichever you want. Now, these are the color brands which I'm using here, CambllPstro, then Windsor and Newton. So different different brands are these. You can use any brand whichever you have. Then comes the cloth, then the palette. This is a glass palette. Then comes the water jar, also. So this is a nice glass palette which I will be using here. Then the water jar, at least two cups. So here you can see it has three edges, then the palette knife also for mixing the colors. So all these things we will be needing for this painting, apart from this, the pencil and eraser. So let's start with this beautiful painting of Bunny. 3. Background Blocking: Welcome back. So let's start with the background blocking first. Let's discuss about how first we will draw this thing. You can draw using grid method, and also you can draw using the circular and some oval shape so these things I will be attaching in my recording sections. Here is my palette. And first, we'll start from top then down then this part. So like that, we will start with the painting. So let's start from the top. So first, let's take out the colors which we will be using here. So first color is yellow Ochre. The second one is white. And the third one is Pains gray. So these three colors we will be using for our background painting. So Pains gray if you don't have Pains gray, you can use black also or you can mix a little bit of Prussian blue and black to make a little bit a grayish blue type of color. So these are the colors which we will be using. So let's mix and make a perfect color like a greenish grayish color. So it's not greenish, exactly. It's a kind of gray color only, but more warm colors added to it. So just I'm mixing these two colors first and then a little bit of white. And I don't want the color to be very dark, so I'm making it a little more lighter version of gray. So just mixing the colors. And if you don't want to mix all these three colors, you can just use the gray color and mix a little bit more of white in that gray, and you can use that as a background. I mostly try to mix and make the colors so that we learn color mixing also and we get an accurate color and more opaque color. When we mix the colors, the color become more opaque than the previous colors. So this is a kind of color which I've got. Let's check if we have got the correct color or not. So this is the color which I have mixed and make it. So maybe we can add a little bit of more of yellow to it. So let's take our flat brush and let's apply it and see how it looks. So I think it's looking perfect. So we can use that color. It has a little bit of yellowish touch to it. So that's what I wanted in this background painting. So in first code, you will not get the exact background finish. You need to apply at least two to three coats when you are using canvas. The canvas which here I'm using is eight inch canvas, which I have already primed two, three times to make it a smooth. Finish. And then I'm doing this whole painting. You can use canvas, you can use paper, you can use MDF board, anything. So something like this type of painting, as you can see in the corner side, we will be painting. So first I'm just doing the background, and then we'll do the foreground where the bunny is sitting, and then we'll start with the details of the bunny. So first, my focus is to do the background and then the center bunny part. So just a little bit of coloring. You can use any brush, whichever brush you want. You can use flat brush. You can use round brush, whichever brush you feel like you can use in this painting. So just covering the entire part, leaving the sketch. So if you are having issue drawing this sketch, you can always trace it. I will share each and every sketch which I have shared here, the grid method, the shapes method, and the raw sketch, also, I will be attaching in the reference section so that you can see it and you can do it. So I'm just covering this entire portion with a similar color and leaving that sketch so a little bit of color will go inside the sketch. Don't worry about that. We will fix when we will do the painting. So this is the first coat. You can see. It is a very rough coating which has been done. There are lots of brush marks in there. So once that first coat will dry then only we'll do the second coat. Let's do the lower part. For the lower part, I will be using my fan brush which is here. So I'll wait for the upper part to dry. Then only I'll do the upper part again. First, we'll do the lower part with our fan brush. Again, a dry fan brush or a damp fan brush you have to use for this whole thing, which is at the down. It is like a cloth thing which has furs. So I'm just making a color a little bit darker. And just applying the textures onto the top area, small, small textures, filling it will look like that these are all furs which are coming out. So just applying it everywhere in the below section. Just use the tip of your brush and your brush should be dry, should not be wet. So already my base is white, so it's just I will do with this gray color because after that, we will add one more coat of white. But first, I'm just doing it with the grayish color. So all these paintings require a lot of time and a lot of patience. So don't worry about if in first coat it has not come up properly. In second coat, it has not come up properly. You can always redo it when you are using acrylic. Because in acrylic, you can always modify your mistakes and correct your mistakes. So this is how I have done the below part. Now, I'll just take a little bit lighter color that is white mix with a little gray on it. Already, my brush has that gray, so I have just taken white and applying on top of it just to give a little bit more textures to the base area. So this is how we will be doing the background. And once more, we will do the background. First, I'm just waiting for the background to dry, and then again, we will add one more coat to it. If we feel that in second coat also, it is not working fine, then again, we'll add third coat. So I'm just applying some nice light colors on top of it, just layering these textures. That's it. So this is how you have to also layer the textures. You can do with any color. I felt like gray is more beautiful. So you can use any color and create textures like this. So once we are done with the background, now we will wait for it to dry and then we'll do the second coat. 4. Second Background Blocking: Welcome back. So let's start with the second layer. Now, my first layer has dried up. So let's start adding the second layer to it. Make sure that it is properly dried, then only add the second layer. It should not be sticky. So once that first layer has dried, now, same color we will be using, and we'll apply with our smaller size flatbush this time. So if your color has finished, you can mix that color again, but make sure that a little bit of color difference will be there when you mix it second time. Whenever you mix the colors and make the colors, every time you cannot get the same color exact, a little bit of difference will be there. So don't worry about that blocking the behind part as smoothly as possible. So just taking the colors already, my brush is wet and just applying the color directly on my canvas. If you feel that your colors are getting stick to your brush, again, wash off your brush and use that color. So I'm just mixing a little bit more amount of color because I think it's very little. So just mixing it in one go so that whenever I'm applying this color, it is similar everywhere. So just mixing a lot of color, and then I will just apply it again. So I've just mixed the color, and let's apply again, the color. You can see a little bit of color differences there. It is now a little bit lighter than the previous color. So it's perfectly fine if a little bit of color differences there. So just applying it in very smooth manner. This is the second coat which I'm applying on the background. My brush is wet, and I'm just applying a thick coat of color. I haven't applied any water on my colors. It's a completely dry color. I haven't applied any water to it, and just water is there on my brush. That's it. That much amount of water is required, and rest is all the colors. When you use thick colors, it increases the drying time, and the colors will not dry very fast, and you can easily blend the colors properly. So if you feel in the second coat also, the background has not come up properly, you can always go for the third coat. But again, whenever you're applying third coat also, you have to make sure that your second coat which you have applied, it has dried completely. I'm just making alge with this white thick color so that we see the difference between the background and the foreground. Just apply slowly and carefully and try not to push the brush, give pressure to the brush. Do it with a very soft hand. Just do it with very soft and gentle hand so that there are less brush marks on your painting. So just applying the colors. Same color. I'm applying it everywhere and making a nice smooth texture. You can see how nicely now in the second coat, it is coming up, but still I'm not happy with the second coat. I will definitely apply the third coat. So whenever you are using canvas, make sure that at least two to three coats you have to apply to the background to give a perfect finish of your background. So just applying this second coat. Always remember whenever you apply any layer on the second layer or third layer, you have to wait for the first layer to dry up. So to wait very slowly, very carefully, you can use your round brush. You can use your flat brush. You can use your filbert brush, any brush you can use, it is all your choice which brush you want to use and which brush you are comfortable with. So just enjoy the process of blocking. Now, once my upper blocking is done, I will also do some layering in the below part also. Just adding some lines just to give or give a difference between the foreground and the background. Now, again, I will add some more textures to the foreground. Just a little bit of textures, and then we are done with the foreground, at least. Then we'll apply the colors on the bunny and then the rest of the area. So just taking white color and applying some white textures of white in the vertical direction, just to give a look of this as a furry cloth is there, which is there in the bottom part. So first I did horizontally, now I'm doing it vertically. So a little bit of textures above also. So that's about the textures. Rest we'll do in the next part. 5. Bunny Blocking Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with the background blocking of the bunny. My background is drying. These are the colors which I have taken out, and let's start with the blocking of the bunny first. My background is drying, so I thought of just blocking this bunny and then again, I will redo the third coating on the background. Let's first mix the colors and make the background color. Let's start first mixing the colors. So here I will be using my round brush for painting all these and blocking all the background part. So let's start first with the black color. Then comes the pains gray little bit and a little bit of white just to tone down a color a little bit. And I want this color to be dark only. So if you don't have a pains gray, you can use a little bit of blue added to it. Not too much blue. It should not turn out to be bluish. It should be more grayish texture. So just grayish blue, you can make it. So just mixing the colors and you can see the color which has come up. It looks like black only, but it is like a dark grayish color. So just applying this color completely on the background. So just slowly, I'm just blocking the color wherever there is a darker part. So this color will be applied. So do it carefully, especially towards the boundaries. So boundaries we will be drawing the fur. We will be adding furs. So try to color all this darker part first. Slowly with your round brush, you can use any size round brush of size two, four, six depending upon the size of your bunny which you are painting. So size totally matters on the size of the canvas or the paper which you are using. So as you can see in the image, wherever there is a darker portion, there I will be applying this darker color. So the first step in any painting is the background color. First, start painting the background with dark. And as you layer the furs, it should become more lighter and lighter. So this is how the process goes when we are doing any fur painting. So if you have seen my for painting of cat, you must have seen I have added there also first the darker layer and then the lighter layers. So if you want to watch that, too, you can check out the link, which I have given in the description. So just adding these darker colors very carefully without disturbing the shape. So all these adding of colors is the most important part. Also, I'm outlining the edge of the face, which is also a little bit of darker when we will add the furs, you will see. So all this area is darker in color. So whenever we paint any animals or anything, it requires a lot of time because fur painting requires a lot of time. So give time to this painting and do it very slowly, very carefully. Take breaks. Don't do it in a hurry. Take your time and do this painting. So if you will follow each and every step of mine during this painting, I'm sure you will be able to do this entire painting very well. So just enjoy the process of painting and how the structure is going. If you don't feel like drawing the entire thing, you can trace it and you can just paint the colors. If you're not comfortable drawing it. That also you can do. So you can see how I am just blocking the entire thing with this darker color. And water is there on my brush, so I don't need extra water for the colors. So try to block in the entire darker area. So just enjoy the process of blocking. As you can see in the image, the ears are also darker, so I will just block in that part too. Currently, don't bother about the textures, the hairs, and anything. You just have to fill in the colors with the darker color. So just outlining the edge of the body, and then I will just fill in the colors. So here I will just make a line, and this is the area where there is a darker color which is there. So I will just block in the entire thing with this dark color. So this is a technique that you can use in any of your pet or any animal painting or bird painting. So these are the techniques which you can use in any paintings. But, yes, you have to give all these painting quite a lot of time because it requires time and patience because there is lots and lots of detailings there. So just enjoy the blocking of colors. Do it slowly, carefully one by one. So once we are done with the blocking of colors, then we'll start with the fur painting. Now, our lower part and the face has been done. Now we will be doing the ears and a little bit of the area, which is the leg area, the outlining with the darker color. So here also there are darker areas which are here. So I'm just outlining the area which is over here, just outlining so that to give a little more clear picture of how the shape is going to be Also, I will outline everything which is in the lower part because outlining will give me a clear picture of where I have to create the grasses, sorry, fur and the details of the legs and everywhere. So just adding the outlines. Also I will start doing the upper part, which is the darker area of the ears. So I'm doing so much of landscape, so every time grasses comes up. So I'm sorry about that. So let's add the colors, the darker colors. So slowly, slowly, you can see the shape is coming up. And once we do the entire blocking, you will see how beautiful it is looking just by blocking it. And then further we will move towards the details. It will look more and more beautiful. So here I'm just adding a little white area just to give a little more difference between the head and the ears. So when we add the hairs, at least we'll know where to start. Otherwise, everything with black, it will not be visible. So that's why I've added there a little bit of line. With a lighter color. So the edge here it is darker in color. So that's what I'm painting over here. And now comes the area, which is the ears area. This area is completely dark and the whole circular round thing is dark. So I will be painting. So you can see most of the darker part we have covered. Now, the lighter parts are left, which we will be doing with very light color because this is mostly white color. So here I'm just applying a nice grayish color. And as I will go above, it will be more light and light color. So this is how we have to paint the ears. So this is how I'm just trying to paint and block in the ear part. 6. Bunny Blocking Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start the blocking further. So we have done the darker part. Now we'll start with the lighter ones which are a little lighter grayish in color. So whenever we do white fur, we always use a little darker version of it. So first, I will add the gray color, which is on the eye part, on the body part, and the neck part. So all of there, it is a little light grayish color. So let's mix a nice grayish color first, and then I'll start applying it. I'm using my rigor brush here because it is a very small area. That's why I'm using a smaller size brush. You can use any brush, round brush of size zero of four, any brush you can use to fill these details. When you use the smaller size brush, it is easy for us to handle it. That's why I try to use a smaller size brush, and Brush size totally depends upon your choice, how you are comfortable. Like here, I'm comfortable using the rigor brush. That's why I'm using here the rigor brush. But if you're comfortable with round brush, you can definitely use round brush also. So this is the eye part, which is already here the white color. That's why I'm applying here gray color, the light gray color, and then I'll start doing the fur part. But first, we are doing with the blocking and then we'll start with the fur details. So slowly, slowly, we will be covering each and every part of the area. Blocking is necessary before starting any detailing. And whenever we do any blocking, we should always use the darker color than the fur color. So since my here, the fur is white, that's why I'm using here, the light grayish color. Now let's do the ear parts which are there. This is also a whitish in color. That's why here I'm applying, again, the gray color. Very thin layer of discolor is there. A little bit towards inside also. So slowly, slowly, we have to give a little shape to it so that we should know where to apply which fur color. So I'm just adding first the lighter color. And then there is a darker layer of around the ears also that also we will apply. So taking the same dark color that we used earlier, just applying around the ears. Now, this is a time you have to create the shape. So if you feel that there is some changes you have to make in the shape of the ears, this is the correct time to change the shape. So you can see slowly, slowly we are doing the blocking of the ears. Now the ear part is left in the center part, which is normally the burnt umber and little bit of Azarin mix. So that we will do later. First, we will apply the colors which are on this pause and on this stomach area. So first, I'm just outlining it so that we'll get an idea that how the pause shapes are. Again, the other paws as well. So here only three paws are visible. The other fourth one is on the other side, so that is not visible. It's a very cute little bunny which is having a fur of black and grayish and white and brownish shade. Do it very slowly and carefully when you're drawing these shapes. Now let's do the ear part. For the ear part, I'm just mixing this Azarin and a little bit of this brown that is burnt amber and doing the nose outline. Just the outline I am doing so that when I will do the blocking, at least that part is visible. Now, again, let's mix the lighter color and do the rest of the parts which are left. So you can apply here at any strokes. Don't worry about if there are brush marks or anything because when you will apply the fur, all things will be gone. So you can do it in any direction, in any random direction. So you can see here I'm doing in any random direction. The upper part is a little darker, so I've made a little darker gray, and that I will blend with the lighter color. So this is how we have to do whole blocking. So only one layer is more than enough because when we will do the fur part, there will be so much of layerings, so it will be all gon, all the brush marks, all the lines, everything. So once we have done with the blocking, then we'll start with the for detailing. But first, we'll do one more quoting of the background because I can see there are some brush marks which are there. So after this blocking, we'll do again the background part and then we'll start with the for detailing. So you can see we have done the blocking of this entire thing. The below part, just the face part is left. So once we are done with D blocking and then we'll start with D detailing. So just enjoy the process of blocking. So a little bit of dark area is there. So we're almost done with it, few parts. So just the mouth part is left for blocking. Oh So now let's cover the ears, taking burnt umber and a little bit of white and just covering this whole part. So we're almost done with the blocking. Only the final part of the background painting is required, and then we are good to go for the detailing. Uh 7. Final Background Blocking: Welcome back. So let's start with the final background blocking. So two layers which we have already applied. Now my colors have already dried properly. Now I will use the same color which we used earlier to do the third and final layer of background blocking. So I'm just mixing a little bit of this paints gray in this white and then a little more of yellow we will add into it. So a little more of yellow we will add, and we'll see how the color comes up because I want a little more warm color, warm grayish color. So just mix it with your palette, and this is the color which we will be using again for our background. So let's check the color which is on the paper. So it's similar color, but a little lighter version. So let's apply a third got on the background. Why it is necessary to apply, we cannot apply in the last go because when we will apply furs will also go inside the background. That's why we have to do first the background properly. Then only we can do the rest of the things. So you can see this color is a little lighter version of the background which I have used earlier and little yellowish also. So you can change your color accordingly. And every time you will mix the color, you will get a different version of gray. So don't worry about that. It's like a buff color, you can say more of a buff grayish color. So just mixing and just applying the same color all over. So you can see the finish which is coming up when I'm applying the third layer. So it is important to apply layers of colors here to give a fine finish look to your background. So once we are done with the background, then we'll start with the details. So slowly, slowly, one side I have done, the other side and the top part is left, and then we are good to go further. I So do it very carefully without disturbing the bunny shape. So you can see how I'm doing it very carefully. First I'm just outlining a thick layer, and then I'm just blocking the other side. Once we are done with this blocking, once the background dries, then we can add the four texture all around. So each and every painting, if you're doing it a little realistic, it requires layers of colors, especially on canvas and MDF board. If you are applying, you have to apply layers of colors. So finally, we are almost done with the background blocking. And now we will start with the four detailings which is the main part of this bunny painting. So you can now see how the finished look has come up. It's more clear, more neat, and without any brush marks. 8. Fur Details Part One: Welcome back. So let's start with the fur details. So let's first apply one more layer on the ear part, and then we will similar color I've used here, as you can see here, fresh palette. So just first applying one layer on the ear part because I think that color is very thin. So I will apply one more layer on the inside ear part, and then we'll start further with the fur detailing. So using my round brush of smaller size, just taking burnt umber, with a mix of little bit of paints gray, applying a little darker color first below. So this seems to be a lot of dark color. So a little bit of darker color is at the edge, and as it goes above, it becomes lighter and lighter. So it's like that, the shade of the inside part of the ear. So as we are going out, I'll just take more white into this and just make the color a little bit more lighter, not grayish. So I'll just add a little bit more of burn umber and just apply a layer of this color on top of it and try to blend this color with the darker color. So just applying this layer and trying to blend with the darker layer as well. So just trying to blend the colors taking again this raw umber and pushing this color towards the top to make the color a little more lighter. So again, taking this burnt umber, making it a little more blendable and not very light in color, because the edge is a little bit more brownish than the upper part. So if your color is wet, you can easily blend the colors. If your color is not wet, it is a little difficult to blend. That's why I use thick color for blending. Now, let's do the part which is here in the body part where we will apply the fur details. For the fur details, I will be using my small size zero brush, first empties taking white and making the color a little fluid. And then I'll start adding the lines from the top. So very small, small lines first on the top. So this is how we have to go first from the top then towards the darker area. So I'm making small small lines in different directions towards the upper area, and slowly we'll move downward. So very small, small lines of the first, try to make it as thin as possible. Make your color thin and then apply the lines. You can use size zero round brush, or you can use a rigger brush, also. In this process, you can use any brush, but again, you have to use a liner brush or a rigor brush of size zero or two by zero. Try not to use bigger size brush. And we have to apply these small lines all over, as you can see, and it is a very long process of applying the lines. So try to do it very slowly, very carefully. Try not to do it in a hurry. And if any mistakes happen, you can recover it by using the background cover. So any mistakes can be solved here when you are using the color. Suppose if I have applied a lot of white here and I don't want it to be very dark, so I will reapply the background color, and then again, I can reshape that thing. So this is how we can always redo the things. These are nothing but just small lines which are in sections. So this is how we have to move on till the down part. So now here I'm applying with my liner brush of size zero. This is a rigor brush which I'm using here because it holds quite a lot of color. So you can easily use this brush and you can do it in one go. So, yes, you can use any brush, whichever brush you feel like. Now, this is another liner brush which is of size two by zero, which I'm using here. And you can see the hair of this brush. It is quite long. So it will hold quite a lot of color. So every time you don't have to pick the colors and do the same thing. So in one go, you can do quite a lot of furs in one go. So a little bit of white hair, I'm pushing it towards the black area as well. So you can use any brush but the liner or the rigger brush. So you can see how I'm changing the angles when I'm going the outer side. So it is more towards the outer side. When I'm moving inward, it is more towards the inward side. So this is how we move the hairs in parts in small, small parts. So again, one more layer. So first, second, now this is the third row which I am doing here. So you have to change the rows, and then accordingly, you have to add the hairs like this. So we have to cover this whole area with this type of texture. This is just one layer. We have to apply at least two, three layers. Then only that for reality will come up. Currently, it is looking like a line, but when we apply two, three layers on it, it will look more realistic fur. So you can see I haven't made it like speed up the process because I want you to do it along with me. And so that each and every process of mine is visible. That's why I haven't speed up the process because I want you to do it along with me. So try to do it slowly, carefully one by one and small small lines And slowly, slowly, you will see the shape is coming up. Whenever we do any painting, the initial process is, like, very boring. We get stuck into it. We feel like it is taking a very long time. We should stop it here. But the end result when you see how much effort you have done to paint this whole thing, and the end results, when you see the end results, you feel like satisfying. It was worth doing it. So that's what I feel when I do these types of paintings because it is very, like, mind relaxing. You are focused on one thing. You don't have to do any other thing. You don't think of any other thing. So this is the main thing when you do such type of painting. You are into it and you are just doing like just focusing on one thing and rest of the things are just blank. So that's what here this painting is about, patience discipline and how slowly and very patiently you are doing such task. And if you follow each and every step of mine, I'm sure you will be able to do this painting as I am doing. Anyone can try this painting out, even the bigners. It's not like very tricky. Anyone can try it out. It's just that you have to make the lines a little bit thinner. That's practice you have to do when you are doing such type of painting. So you can see we have almost covered the below part. You can see already it is looking very beautiful just by applying one single layer. Now when we apply more layers, it will look more and more stunning. So just taking a darker color and just making a darker fur all around the body part. Now, this will give a little edge to the curved area. 9. Eyes Details Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start with the eyes detail. So for the eyes detail, we'll mostly be using black color. So let's start with it. And I'm using my again, round brush of size zero. Try to use a smaller size brush because these are very minute things which we have to do. So try to use a smaller size brush. Just taking some nice thick color and applying it all over the eyes. So a nice black color. Thick black. So first, I'm just outlining it how the shape will come, and then I'll start blocking the colors. So outlining first, take a little liquidy color because we are doing outlining here. Try not to use very thick color, and then we have to just fill it with black, leaving the area, which is the white spot over there. So just doing it very carefully, very slowly. So let me zoom in a little so that you can see it more clearly because these eye details are the main thing, which we have to do it very carefully and very carefully because this is the main thing in the painting when the painting looks more beautiful and more attractive, it's because of the eyes, I feel. So leaving the white spot, I'm just covering the entire area with black color. So this is like jet black color. You don't have to mix any color in here, the black color. So just taking a little bit of brown and black mix, and I will just outline the area which is on the outside. Outside, it is a bit more brownish color, especially the lining. So I'm just taking out a little bit of Azarin also. I will mix Azarin and this burn tumble together. And just make a nice light brownish color and we'll apply it all over the outline. Do it very carefully, make your color a little thin and then apply the lining because we need a little thin color over here, not very thick color. Otherwise, you will not be able to make thin lines. So once that lining is done, then we'll just cover this entire area with, again, the black color. So whole area, I'll just cover it with black and a little bit of grayish. I will add it over here. Just a light grayish color, not very light. It is just more darker only. So this is how it looks when we apply the color. Now we will add the eye details which is there. So there are a very soft light grayish line which is there inside the eye, so that I'm just trying to add. My color is wet. So when I apply this line, it will not be very dark, so it will be very dull line. So that's what I wanted. I don't want a very dark line. Also, there are three dots in the eyes, which I will be applying it on top of it. So very light lines. Just like the shape of the eyes, some reflection which is coming on the eyes. So now let's add the dots over there. So there are three dots which are there, one big and two in the below side. So just the three dots. So this is how we make the eyes. It's very simple, especially in the bunny part. But when we do the cat painting and all that, the eyes part is much more difficult. So this is a very simple eye painting. So now let's add more brownish touch to the eyes. As to the outside part, the outside of the eyes is more towards the brownish, reddish side. Does the outline. So try to do it very carefully and slowly. Now, once we are done with the eyes, now we will start doing the hairs which are around them. So first, I'm taking this liner brush which is of size two by zero and trying to outline the eyes. So if you feel that your size zero brush is thick, you can always switch to a different size brush. So here, mostly we have to use a very thin size brushes, like very thin brushes. So we cannot use thick brushes over here. So now you can see the eyes is done. Now the hairs are left, which are all around the eyes. So let's start adding small, small hairs. Just adding one more layer to this area, which is the highlight inside the eyes, as you can see. So again, taking some grayish color and trying to fill and add some hairs all around. Try to add very tiny, tiny hairs all around the eyes. Don't use very long lines, very small, small tiny, tiny hairs you have to add in a slanting shape just across the eyes. So let's zoom in a little again and see how this hair details are going. So again, taking white color, make Ola color thin. Take very little little color on your brush. Don't take too much color and start adding small, small hairs across the eyes. First, I have done on the lower part, now I'm doing on the upper part. These hairs will also add the hairs of the eyebrow and the eyelashes. So all these hairs are very small tiny hairs which are across this eyes. Also now we will add the hairs all over the light part of the area which is here. So big hairs also, as it is going above. So some big, big hairs across the cheek area and the lower part. So wherever I've added the lighter color there, I'm just adding these hairs. So very small tiny, tiny hairs which are coming out to the darker portion also. Again, on the upper side, it is a little bit of slanting lines which I'm adding. These are not straight hairs, some slanting hairs which are moving upward in the upward direction. So hair should also go according to the shape of your body if your body shape is going above upward, the hair shape will also the lines shape will also go upward direction. This is how we use the directions of the hairs. So you can see, I'm just adding some small, small tiny lines, very thin lines are these. Try to make it as thin as possible. Also, we will add some hairs across the nose part where there is a white patch over there. Now, here it is a straight line because the face is a little flat. So that's why there are some straight lines which are over here, some straight, tiny lines. So this is how this whole eyes area is covered. We'll do more layering over here. 10. Fur Details Part Three: Welcome back. So let's start with the more for details. So we have done the lower part. Now, let's start with the face part now. So face part also we have done the eyes part. The extra side parts are still left. So let's start with that first. So again, taking my same brush the liner brush or rigor brush of size two by zero. And just making the color a little bit of thin and applying to the face area. Now, how the direction is in same direction, we have to move the brush. Now, you can see the direction is a little bit towards the sides. So our firm also will be towards the side. So like this, we have to fill this area, which is there on the side part. Now, this part is more in the upward direction, so it will be more towards the upward direction. Starting from small hairs, it will end towards the bigger hairs. So we have to make sure all the rigid lines which are there, it should be a little blurry with these feather lines. So what I'm doing here, you can see there's a half curve line, and I'm making small hairs around it just to make it look like those are all hairs which are around that shape. So very small, small first, we'll start adding the textures, and then as we will go above, it will be a little bigger in size. So this is how we have to move the textures, very small, fine details and make sure your color is not thick. It should be fluid. Then only you will be able to create thin lines. Otherwise, there will be thick lines. So again, here, the moustache part where I'm making the lines a little bit towards the sides, little bigger lines because there are spaces which have a bigger area. There is lines which are the moustache is coming, the hairs are coming. So that's why the area is bigger in size. Now, let's take another darker color that is a grayish color, and let's add some more grayish lines in between just to mix and make the colors. So this is how we mix and blend the colors using darker, lighter mix of colors. So again, I'm adding a little more darker version of gray and starting to add more hairs around it. Try to make the color thin and then add all these details. Try not to use thick colour. Try using thin colour. Thin colour doesn't mean that the color should be like watery. It should be a liquid color. So try to use that and give a very fine lines. So if you have done my cat painting, this will be a little bit more easier than the cat painting. But if you have not done the cat painting, you can try for this and go for the cat painting. So small small hairs, I'm adding around this whole head face. So very small small hairs, just to give a little bit more depth to the face area. So slowly, slowly, we have to build up a shape just by using hairs. So this is how we build up the shape, actually. So again, taking more of this pains gray and a mix of black so that it is not totally black in color and adding some more hairs around it. So if you don't have pains gray, you can directly use black. Don't worry about that. You can use black. I feel that a little tone down the black. I have used that pains gray. But yes, if you don't have pains gray, you can directly use just black color. So this is the neck region, which I'm giving a little depth to that area. These are very small, small lines. Try not to make very big lines, especially around the nose. A. These are very small and minute hairs which are there, very small and minute lines should be there. Just add some darker lines and then we'll start adding the lighter ones too. Similarly, adding some lines to the side parts with a grayish color. So dots, just to add some more lines to give the moustache section which is there. So this is how we have to give a little shape one by one to the nose area, to the mouth area, a little bit hairs which are coming outside the whole area which is there because the hairs are also coming outside the background. It's not like stiff. So you have to make the hairs also outside the area, which is the shape. So a little bit hairs, I'm just adding to the sides, just to look more furry. Now, you can see here I have done a little bit of mistakes, which I will fix it by using the same background color. You don't have to do anything. You just take your same background color and just apply a thick coat over there, and your mistakes will be fixed. So this is how you can fix your mistakes also if you have done any. 11. Fur Details Part Four: Welcome back. So let's start further. So we have done the nose part. Now we will move ahead with the head part, which is there, the darker portion, as you can see over there. So let's start adding more fur details using the same brush. Same liner brush I'm using that is size two by zero, making a little more lighter grayish color, and I'm starting to add very tiny hairs around the nose part. And as I will go above, it will become bigger and bigger. So mostly the direction of the lines are in a straight form because it is going upward. And as it will go upward a little bit hairs, I will start adding to the nose area which is here. Try to add very small lines because this area has very small fur details, not big hairs. So try to add very small, small lines. So as we are moving above little bit bigger lines, we will start adding. All these steps take a very long time, so have patience and do it very slowly. Don't do it in a hurry because this is a time consuming process and a very repetitive task. So sometimes we feel bored that, Okay, we are doing these same steps again and again and we feel like to complete it in a hurry, but don't do that. That will ruin your painting. So take breaks, do it very slowly. Take your time. Don't do it in one day. Take breaks, take a week if you want, and do it very slowly one by one. The parts. Try not to do in one go. So just adding all the hairs. So this is just a small advice that I also do. I also don't complete my painting in just one go. I also take breaks. I also do the paintings in chunks. This is a small painting, so I have done in two days. But if I do a bigger size painting, I always give time to that painting so that it doesn't look like that you have just completed. It should not look like that you have done in a hurry just to complete that painting. Because when we see that painting, we know like, yes, we have done it in a hurry. This could have been much better. So try to give time to your painting and do it slowly carefully. If by mistake, some of the colors go darker, you can always redo it by using the same background color. So here you can see I'm making the hairs like a little slanting because this is the area where the hairs are little slanting. So that's why I'm adding the hair a little bit more slanting this side and a little bit more bigger. So this is how we have to go one by one in the different directions of the hairs because all the directions are not same. So it depends upon how the curve and the shapes of the body is. That's how we decide the shape of the hairs. And whenever you are doing such type of painting, try to use if you're using any picture, try to use a good quality picture which has good pixels so that you can see the exact hair and the directions where it is going. So just doing some small hairs on the top. So this actually area is more white than the area which is towards the other side where there is a darker portion. So above also, I'm adding the hairs with white color just to give the depth of the shape of the head because all these area which is on the above it is more it has more lighter hairs than the one which is on the sides. So slowly, slowly, I'm just overdoing the hairs where I feel that there should be more white color. So a little bit of black color. I'm just taking black and paints gray mix and just adding some more hairs to these sides. You can see the side is very stiff. It should not be very stiff. It should have hairs which are coming out, especially the structure area. So I'm adding small small hairs on the outside part also, just to show that there are small small hairs which are coming out also. That's why I'm doing it with a darker color first. If you will directly do with lighter color, it will not be visible. So try doing it first with a little darker color and then you can overdo it on top with the lighter color. So all over this area, I'm just adding small, small hairs which are also showing up in the background. And very small haze. Again, I'm adding with the lighter color. So the more and more you will do layering, the more beautiful it will look. So it's all about layering how much layering you are giving to your painting. So a little bit more lighter colors I'm just adding. So slowly, slowly, you can see the shape is coming up and the hairs are coming up and it is looking more like a real bunny. So that's what I think of doing while doing this painting. I want it to be look more real because I like doing a little realistic painting. So just adding, again, this grayish lighter color to the area which is near the nose and the mouth. So white hairs across the whole chin area and the whole bottom area of the head. Again, taking this light grayish color and adding some more hairs to the sides, making it towards more towards the darker area which is there. Even if my background is dark, I'm using a light grayish color so that the hairs are visible. So most of them are light grayish color. Again, I'm taking this darker color and adding some more lines which are going outward. It should not look like a patch. It should look like that this darker color is also mixing with lighter color. It's a sort of blending which we do with these textures. So slowly, slowly just adding some more hairs. Just adding a line which joins the eyes actually through hairs. So you can see this line is joining the eyes also. Again, adding some more lines towards the area which is joining the dark and the light portion. 12. Fur Details Part Five: Welcome back. So let's start further. Now we have done the head, we have done the body part. Now let's start further with more hair details. We have just done the one layer of the fur. Now let's first make the nose which is there a little bit more visible. As you can see, it's a very light color, so it's not visible completely. I'm just making it a little bit more dark just by adding one more layer to it. So a little bit more colors I might need, especially the Azarin because it has already dried. So I'm just taking a little bit of yellow ochre also and giving a little highlight around just to make that area look more yellowish, highlighting that area because my yellow ochre is already very transparent color. So it is easily highlighted over there. And then I will add the lines. I'm waiting for that first this yellow ochre to dry. Then only I will add the lines. So now let's first do the more fur detailings in the below, and then we'll start with more details on the mouth and the nose part. So just adding some more thicker lines and some more white lines across this area across the nose and the mouth area. So just adding some more white lines. So that's what we have to do here. The more layers you will add, the more real and more furry your furry friend will look. So just adding some more hair, bigger hairs around the eyes, around the cheek everywhere. Especially when we are doing this type of painting, blending is done with textures only. Here, with textures only, we are blending the dark and the light color blending in the sense that we are mixing the two colors. I should not look like that this dark color is a patch. It should blend with that lighter color. So that's what we have to do here also. So just adding some more darker lines. So more and more lines, you will add more realistic it will look. It's just like that. And try not to use very thick color of white, use milky color. Then only you'll be able to draw the lines. If you will use thick color, you will not be able to draw the lines. If you have liquid white color, you can use that also so that you don't have to mix every time water in this. So just adding some more hairs around the area which is the head area. Because this hair area has maximum number of hairs. So this is how we're adding very small small hairs are these. So now you can see the shape is coming when I'm adding more white hairs around it. I will also add some small hairs around the nose part. Especially around the nose and the mouth part, the hairs are small. In the rest of the areas the hairs are much more bigger than the areas, which is the nose part. So just adding more and more hairs because this area is quite white. M. So even if you have white bunny or something, it should not be completely white painting in the background. You should always first do with gray and then use white as for detailing. Now, I'm just taking my, again, this brown color and just adding more darker color to it. Already, my raw umber has sorry, yellow ochre has dried, which I applied earlier. Now I'm just highlighting all this area, which is the mouth and the nose area. Giving a little more proper shape to it so that it is more visible. My Azarin crimson has already dried, as you know, acrylic dries very fast. So I'll just take a little bit more of Azarin and I will mix to this brown Azarin crimson. And then, again, I will add a little bit more outline to it. So this is how you have to do a very simple nose and mouth details. So this is the whole mouth and nose details. Now again, let's start with more of the fur details now, taking the darker color and again, applying towards the area which is just below the head part, that is the chin part. As to the sides to give a little more depth to that structure. Adding also to the hairs around the leg part. And whatever we are doing here is just giving a depth. Here, I'm just painting it with black where the two legs join, painting that area with black because that is a shadow which is totally black in color. So that's what I'm doing here and adding more and more hairs around. So this is how you can see I've added all to the sides, the hairs. So this will give a little depth to the below part. Now I will add some shadow also to the side, which is falling with my different brush. That is the round brush. So making a light grayish color first, mixing brown and a little bit of black and grayish texture it is actually. It's not brownish color. So just mixing it with the same color and adding a little bit more of black and pains gray, whatever you feel like you can add and make it a grayish color and just add the shadow below. Just adding some shadow. Giving a little shape to the shadow and then just blocking it simply. I feel that this color is little dark, so I'm just adding a little bit more of white to this, and I'm just adding some shadow part over here. Some darker shadow around the pause which is there. And again, redoing it. Also a little bit shadow to the behind pause, which is there. So this is it for the shadow part, not much we have to do. 13. Fur Details Part Six: Welcome back. So now let's start with more of the fur details. So now we have done the shadow, the whole details. Now, let's start with the paw details which are there. So first, we will add some darker highlights over the pause just to give a little bit more depth to it. So let's start first with the first paw which is there. So taking again, my same brush, and here the hairs will be very small, very small size. It should not be very big. So try to make very small, small hairs. I'm just making a dark grayish color and starting to add some small tiny hairs around around the paws, around the lines. So just filling first outlining it with dark color and just adding some hairs around. Similarly, I will do the other finger section also first outline the line and then just add small, small tiny lines around it. This will look like that there are hairs which are around the paws and in the center part as well. So you can see I've filled it with entire small, small tiny hairs. Similarly, I will be doing the other paw as well. Also, I'm adding some lighter colours that is the light grayish color around this paw just to blend it with a darker color. Try to add very small size lines. Don't try to add very big size. Just adding some more hairs around the area, which is the body portion. And try to make the depth of that area more darker so that it is visible clearly the poor shapes. So this is the area which has the darkest shadow. That's why I'm making it very dark inside. So now let's do another paw which is there, adding some more brownish shade as well and blending it with the color. That is the darker color. Okay. Now, let's add more of the lighter color to the first paw which is there, a little bit more brownish hairs around it. So there are more brownish hair which is around the neck portion in the middle side of the body. A very light brownish colours are there. So just adding that in the center part especially. So mostly the bunny is not totally white or gray. A little bit brownish color is also there in some of the areas. So just adding all these hairs here. Now, again, taking this white color and adding some more small small hairs around this paw Similarly, we will be doing other two paws also, but this paw is more of a darker color as compared to the other paws. Adding some more lighter lines across the paw section. Similarly, we'll be doing the second one also. Same color, same technique we will use here also for the second one, making a color little dark grayish color. And then first, I will add the darker hairs. I'm also outlining it and also adding small hairs around it. Just to look that there are small hairs which are around the fingerline. And then we can add the hairs in the center part of the paw. Very small, small tiny hairs here and there with darker color, and then with lighter color, you can add with similar technique, which we have done for the first one. So everywhere we have to use the same technique and the last pi is also left. Same way we will be doing the last one also. So we're almost done with both the paws, adding the lighter and the darker version of hairs. Very small small hairs are these. 14. Fur Details Part Seven: Hello all. Welcome back. So let's start further the fur detailings. So the third paw is left. So let's start with that. So again, same brush, the liner brush of size two by zero, and just making some dark textures around the area which joins the paw and the upper area. Just small small hairs around the lines. So slowly, slowly, I'm just adding very small tiny hairs around the lines which I have made. And making it more dark so that it is visible more taking again the same color and adding some more textures of the darker fur and just outlining the edges also. Same technique I'm using here like we did in the previous two paws, same technique, adding some nice hairs and then some lighter ones also. So grayish texture also inside the paw area, then some light textures. So slowly, slowly, you can see the shape is coming up. So this is how we have to create small, small textures, and one by one, we have to add the fur textures. So we have just done one layer of the fur details. Somewhere we will be requiring some more layering of the fur. So currently, I'm just focusing on the first layer of the fur details. I'm making this area more white just by adding more white fine lines. The more and more lines you will add, the more and more it will look like a real for thing. It's all about layering and overlapping of the details. So again, taking some white thin color and just adding some more layers around the area, which is the curve area, adding some more lighter lines. Adding some more white lines across the pause area. So slowly, slowly, I'm just adding more and more layers to it so that it looks more like fluffy and more dense. So just adding some more lighter colors to the sides. So in each and every painting, the more and more layers you add to your fur, the more realistic it looks. This is the idea behind it. So again, I'm adding the lighter layer that is the white color around the nose. Above is a straight line, and as it goes to the sides, so it becomes the side lines. So like this, you have to move your brush. Um, the more and more you will add the layers, the more it will look real. So again, I'm taking this flat brush. Here it is more white area. That means more grayish and whitish patch is there. So I'm just taking my flat brush and adding more thicker details around over here just to make it more visible. So you can use any brush. Here I am using my flat brush which I used earlier. But you can use any brush, whichever brush you feel like, giving a nice textures of white around this area. So this area is actually having a white patch. That's why I've added extra white layers around it. Now let's take again the darker color and start adding more for details around the neck region. So slowly, slowly, we'll move towards the ears also because ears we haven't touched yet the details. So ears also we'll start doing. So just adding small small hairs around the sides. And then as we go above, we will add more smaller hairs around the ears, which is also showing up in the background. Try to make it as small as possible. This can only happen if your color is thin. Try not to use thick color whenever you are doing such layering thing, such layers and fine details, try to use a thin color, then only those lines will become thin. So first I just layering the outside part, giving small hairs outside. And then we'll start the inside part also. So you can see, just taking the darker color and adding some nice fur details outside. So similarly, I will be doing the other ears also. So this area is quite dark. That's why I'm adding more and more black details to it. Then comes the other side of the ear. Now, this time is the time when you can fix the ear shapes or anything. So try to fix it and then do the detailings. Some more hairs which are coming outside. Also some hairs around this grayish area. 15. Fur Details Part Eight: Welcome back. Let's start further with the ears detailing, which we are doing. We have already done the darker details. Now let's start with the lighter ones. So taking my white color and adding very small small textures first around the ears. Now, this is a shape of, like, a eyebrow type. So I'm just making it more thick and more repeating the same color that is the white color and giving a little shape also to it. Just adding more white to this area because this area is quite white in color. So and bright also. So just adding more white layers to it. This time, you can use a little bit of fluid color, not very thin color when you are doing the second layer on top of it because we have already done one layer. I'm just repeating again, the same process with the same color and a little bit of fluid color. So whenever you are doing such type of process, do it one by one. First, take a little thin color, then take a little fluid color. If you feel that this area is more bright, then add a little thick layer to it. That also you can do. Now we'll start with the ears. Now, around the ears is a very white furry texture. So that's what I'm applying here going towards slanting towards the upward direction. So taking very little little white and applying it over the area, which is the leaf shape area which is there, try to use a fluid color and a thick color. And I'm just first outlining it just to give a shape to it. And then, again, I will start adding the lines. So very close lines and just adding lines all around this curved area. It. So just adding very closely these lines one by one. So you can see how much color I take very little little color at a time. Don't take too much color on your brush. Otherwise, there are chances that lots of color will come up on your painting. So every time whenever you're applying, take little little color and then do the detailing. Now here also the hairs are a little bit of grayish color. So that's what I'm adding over here in the darker portion. All around this is a grayish hair. So that's what I'm applying here. I'm not covering it too much because I want this area to be dark, not light. So again, adding a white layer of the lines around this area, the curved area. Similarly to the area which joins the ears, there also there is a line which is going in a upward direction. There are some white hairs inside the ear portion also. So that's what I'm just adding it over there. So slowly, slowly, you can see the shape is building up, the fur level is building up. So this is how we have to do one by one, the area which is there. And whenever you do all these type of process, it requires a lot of time and a lot of patience. So if you're starting to do this painting, make sure that don't complete it in just one day. Try to take breaks and then do the painting because all these paintings require time and patience. Some of the bigger white hairs I'm just adding to this brownish area which is inside part. Not too much hair, but little bigger size hair. So also, I will do the other side of the ears. So I've just outlined it, and then again, I will create the hairs in the upward direction. Oh. So slowly, slowly the hair is also building up, as you can see, some of the hairs which are in the downward direction, some in upward direction. So, likewise, we have to change the direction of the hairs. Now, this hair I'm just adding in the downward direction. And then I will add the hairs around the area which is the longer hairs which is going inside. O. So this is how we have to change the direction accordingly where the hairs are. So some more white hairs in the center, and then a little bit more hairs in the center part because this area has a quite white hair. Again, adding some more hairs to the sides, some white color. So this is how we have to do the ears. So one ear is almost done. We have to do the second one. Especially the area which is inside, it has quite a lot of white hair. Then comes the area which is around the eyes. This area is also quite white. So I'm adding more and more white hairs to it. And it also has a shape of S shape, as you can see, so that should be maintained. O. 16. Fur Details Part Nine: Welcome back. So now one years we have done. Now, let's focus on the other one, which we have to do. More lighter colors are there on the sides. So just taking white color and the same rigor brush and adding some white textures first onto the sides. Because this area is more white, as you can see the picture, more lighter color as compared to the other one. So this area hole is very light in color. So that's why I'm adding the textures more close, as you can see, the hairs which are really very close to each other so that maximum area looks more white in color. So this is how I have just filled this area with small small lines. Also, some of the highlights I will add to the sides also. Not too much because this area should be a little darker as compared to the side portion. So a little bit of these white shades around these darker parts. And now let's add more layers to this part which has more whiter look on the upper edge. And So just repeating the same process and adding the textures and don't worry about the dryness of the colors because whenever you add such type of details, these type of colors dry very fast when you're using acrylic, especially the lines and everything. You're adding some more brownish texture around this area, taking that brown color and white mix. Similarly, some on the sides of the other ears. Okay, now let's do more detailings of the fur. We have done one coat on each and every part of the area. Now it's the time to do the second fur coat. It's not like you have to do just one coat and it is done. You have to do at least one more coat on this so that it looks more dense and more furry. So again, taking this white color and adding some more lines to the side, moustache area, which is here. So wherever I will feel that there is less hairs and we need more for details, there we'll start adding the hairs because we have only done one layer of it. So just adding to the area, which is the chin area and the nose area everywhere because this is the main portion, which should be done with much care. So slowly, slowly, I'm just adding more and more white to the areas, which is the lighter section, which is a lighter part of the whole hair part. So you can see now this white area is also visible when I'm adding more and more hairs. Similarly, all around, I will start adding So in this type of technique, the more and more layers you will add, the more it will look beautiful, more furry, more realistic. Adding the hairs in the direction, which is like a half circle direction, as you can see in the downward direction, because the face is going in the downward direction. That's why the hairs are also going in the downward direction. So similarly, adding more and more whites across the area, the edges. So during this time, you have to fix all the areas where you feel that there are less for details. So slowly, slowly, I'm just adding more and more second layers to it, just to make it more furry and more dense. So let's do Let's first give a little texture to the area which is below. That is the shadow area. I'll just take the fan brush and white color and I will add same textures which I have applied to the area which is around just to match that area. It doesn't matter if it is a shadow, still that fur should be there. So that's why I'm adding all these small details of white around all these section. So now it is looking like that this is that this reflection is inside that part. So this is it for the foreground also. Let's do further. 17. Second layer Fur Details: Welcome back. Now we have to do the second layer of for details. So we have done one layer already. Now I've taken a fresh colors, as you can see over here, all are same colors, burn umber, black, paints gray and white. So let's start with first the eyes. So just one more layer, we'll start using similar colors, same colors, just another layer of fur and the details. Because whenever we do any fur details, it's required that at least we should do a few layers of for details over there. So just taking this brown and this Azarin mix and just adding a layer of around the eyes section, which is there, just adding a nice outline around this eyes just to give a little more depth to it. Now, this is the time when we have to fix each and everything which we feel that it is not good or it is not proper. It is not accurate. So just I'm just outlining it with this color. Now, once we have done the outlining part, I'll just take a mix of white and paints gray. And again, we'll start adding further the second layer details. So just mixing the colors and with the same brush, again, this is the liner brush of size three by zero, and just adding some more highlights of the hair around the eyes because here the hairs are very tiny, as you can see, just making it a little darker color. So let me zoom in a little and you will see how the details I'm adding. So just around the eyes, I'm just adding small, small slanting hairs, as you can see, giving a little edge to this area and adding small, small tiny, tiny hairs around the eyes, just to give a little more shape to this. Very small, small hairs are these just to make it look more real, as you can say. So similarly, I will be doing for the upper part also. Try to take thin color and add very small small tiny lines across the eyes. So we'll start adding now the lighter color. So same thing we have to do for the hairs and small small hairs around the eyes. So just adding some more lines to this area, which joins the lighter and darker color. Since this is a second tone, so this is a time when you have to fix the issues where you feel that there is a darker layer, you have to add the darker layer where you feel that there should be lighter color, add more white to it. So here I'm adding more grayish texture around the nose, as you can see. And also, I will add some to the sides, just like some hairs which are coming outside. So do these very carefully, make your color thin, and then try to add these small, small hairs because this all small small details will make your painting look more realistic and more beautiful. So just adding some white hairs around the eyes like we did for the darker ones. So we always have to do the layering with dark and then with light. This should be ongoing until and unless you feel that it is perfectly fine. Especially when you do around the eyes, it should be very careful because this is the main part of the entire painting. Your eyes should look more beautiful than anything else. Around the eyes, there are more lighter colors. So I'm just adding more white hairs across the area across the eyes. So take a milky color and take small small amount of color and start adding the layers. You can see when I'm adding the second layer, the colors are becoming more vibrant and more bright. So that's why layering is important when you do these four details. Some hairs which I'm adding across these darker shade which I have applied. And also, I will add some darker shade as well. And h some more lighter tones across the cheek area across the neck area. Try to add these areas, hairs which are very close to each other, actually, the area which is around the neck part. Again, taking the black and the pains gray mix color and adding one more layer of black to it. Adding one more layer so that it becomes more nice and there are three dots. That's why I'm just adding one line in between to divide and look like that there are three dots wherever you think that something is missing, you can always redo it, re add it. Anything you can fix it just by applying the same base layer. So you can see just adding a little bit more grayish and blackish line across the eyes. So slowly, slowly, we are moving towards the finishing of our painting. So we already have done one layer. We are just applying the second layer onto it. All these I have made in real time. I haven't done any fast forward so that you guys can also look and see how I'm doing one by one, and you can also do it along with me. Small, small hairs around the nose. If you will follow each and every step what I have done over here, I'm sure you will be able to do this beautiful painting. And if you have never tried any fur painting, this is the right time to try it now and check how it looks when you do all these details. So I have made it very simple and easy to understand so that people can also follow each and every step of mine. So you can see how many layers I have added across the neck part because that is the main portion which divides your head and the body. That should be very crisp and very clear. Just adding some more around the cheek. Some more around the chin. So more hairs around the nose area. Then taking more brownish color and adding some more brown details across the chin area should be a very light brownish color. Try not to use very dark color, very light brownish color. So this will add more depth to your painting. So slowly, slowly more white lines across the chin. Especially to the area where the small mouth is here the hair is quite small in size. Depending upon the area, you have to make the size of the lines, especially across the mouth and the eyes area and the nose area, the hairs are very small and rest of the hairs are normal size. So very small, small hairs are these. Adding more white layers across the nose part. Oh, 18. Second layer Fur Details Part Two: Welcome back. So let's start with the second layer for details. So we have already done a little bit of the second layer. So same brush. That is three by zero rigor brush. Make your color thin and start adding small small details on top of it. We have already done one layer. This is the second fur layer which we are applying. So this nose area is quite wide, so that's why I'm applying more layers around it. So slowly, slowly, we are moving towards the more detailing. And wherever we have to fix the colors or we have to add more furs we will be doing under this process. So just adding more white hairs around this white patch which is there around the eyes. So try using thin colour, milky color, not very thick color when you are doing all these details. Now, I'm making this area, which is the S shape area more white just by adding more white lines to it. Similarly, some more white textures around this part, which is the darker part, as you can see. So layering on top of it. That's what we are doing here. Same technique, same process, and I'm just adding the small small lines So whenever we do such type of layering, like one or two or three layers, the fur becomes more dense and it looks more real. That's why we have to apply at least two to three layers on top of the layering. So first, we have started with the dark blocking, then the grayish color, then the white color, then more white. So like that, we have to layer the fur. So you can see I'm doing the second at and it has started becoming more dense the lines. So gradually we will be doing the entire thing. Currently, I'm just focusing on the upper part, that is the head part. So one by one, we will do the entire portion. Adding more white lines towards the area, which is the outline area of the head. So bigger white lines just to show that there are lots of hairs around it. So keep on adding until unless you feel that it satisfied that, okay, it's done. So here you can see I've added more white, so I'm just fixing it with a darker color. Now, again, taking the lighter color and adding more details on the upper part. Whenever we add these details, the upper part is actually more whitish in color. That's why I'm making that area a little bit more dense. Even if the background is white, when we apply the layers, it actually blends the mixture. The dark and the light mixture combines itself, and it is like a blend, we can say. So blending is not only done with just colors, blending can be done with textures also. Also some more white lines around the ears, where the white portion is. So this is the time when you have to fix all the mistakes which you have done. If you have added less around something, you have to add more. So this is what I am doing over here. Just adding more and more white textures around this ear so that it looks more white and more vibrant. Now taking the brownish color, very light brownish color, and also adding to the ears. Small, small hairs in the diagonal form and also towards the other form which is going downward. Likewise, we have to fill this area. So this is how we do the second layer. We have done the head part. Now we are doing the ear part. We will also do some layering on the body part. So yes, the layering will keep on going until unless I am satisfied or when you are doing, you are satisfied with it. But yes, try to do at least two layers of the details so that it becomes more and more dense and furry. Adding some more white hairs across the area, it should don't look like a sharp line. Some more lighter colors across the darker portion. So also going outward because already we have done with the black color, we haven't done with white color. So I'm just adding more and more white hairs across the area which is also coming outside to the background part. So these all small small things makes your painting look more real and more beautiful. So you can see I'm adding some of the long hairs also, which are going outside the ears. So try to do it very slowly, very carefully. Use the liquid color. Don't use thick colour while you're doing all these details. So now you can see how the ears have come up. Adding some more white areas across the darker portion. 19. Second layer Fur Details Part Three: Welcome back. Let's start further. We have already done the ears, the forehead. Now we will start further with the lower part and some more details around the lower part. One more ear is left, we have done one. The other one is left. I'm again adding some more white because the upper portion is quite a lot of white in color. So it is more brighter than the side portion, which is more darker. So that's why I'm adding more white lines across this half area. Fewer white lines across this darker portion also. So again, taking the same color and making the color a little darker and applying it more towards the area, which is the darkest area which joins the head and the ears. So this is how we do the light and dark transition of the fur. Now, let's take more of the white color and add some more white lines across the cheek part, which is the side portion of the eyes. So you can see so many layers we keep on adding and adding until and unless it is properly fixed. So the more and more layers you will add in such type of painting, the more real it will look. So that's why give this painting a lot of time and do it very slowly, carefully one by one. So now let's add some more white to the nose area around the nose part. Very small small hairs are these which are around the nose and the mouth part. So I'm just taking a little bit of Azarin and this brown color and a little bit of black color also just to make it a little bit more dark and just applying one more layer of the color towards the nose and the mouth part because this area has to be quite dark. Try to use thin color. Don't use very thick color. Otherwise, there will be chances that thick line will be generated. So just adding one more layer of it. Giving a proper shape to the mouth as well. So one by one, we have to proceed. Now, let's add some lighter color that is we're adding some glazing effect around the neck. Make the color very thin and then add this light thin color around the neck portion just to make this area look more dull, like more grayish in color, and then we'll start adding more for details. So again, taking the same liner brush that is size three by zero and adding more white lines across the area where I have highlighted it with grayish color and also highlighting the sides portions of the area, which we have already done with black, but we haven't done with the lighter color. That's why I'm adding more and more light color across. So adding more and more white layers around the section, which joins the head and the body portion. So this time, try to take milky colour, milky white color and draw this across the whole line, which divides the head and the body. So one by one, I'm again adding the same layers with white colour. It's the same repetitive process, but this time it is more of a fluid color than a very thin liquid color. So as you can see the difference when I'm adding these white textures, this area is becoming more brighter than the area which is to the sides. So slowly, slowly, I'm just building up the whole shape. The shape has already come up, it's just the hairs. Some hair it is less, somewhere it is more, so I'm just adjusting and making it more furry. So keep on doing until unless you feel satisfied and you feel that it is perfectly fine. Especially the area which is the border area or the outline of the shape of the bunny, that should be very crisp and very clear. That's why I'm making that area quite dark with white color. Just adding more and more white lays across the area, which is the neck area. Try to add more and more repetitive lines so that the lines become very, like in a bunch or you can say very crowded, and it looks like there are lots and lots of hairs which are there across the whole body. So you can see I'm just added in this half of it. The rest half of it, I will also add. So just enjoy the process, do it slowly, carefully. Try not to do this portion, at least in a hurry because this is the last portion which we are doing. Actually, after this, the painting will be done. So you have to do it very carefully, the last step because this is the main step when we feel that, okay, it is done, and we complete that portion in a hurry. So give this thing at least time and do it very patiently and slowly. Adding more and more lines across You can see now it is looking very full of furs across the whole body when I'm adding the second layer. It's the same thing when we do the shading part, we add one layer, then second layer, then third layer. Similarly, we do here also when we do painting, especially detailed painting. So slowly, slowly, the hairs will become more fluffy and more like furth. That's why we are adding so many layers of lines. This painting is all about lines and textures and how we apply the colors. Whenever we do such repetitive process, we actually learn how to be discipline and how to be focused. So that's what I have learned from so many years of doing this type of painting. So slowly, slowly, we are coming to the end of the painting. Only a few details are left, and then we will be done with this entire beautiful, cute little bunny painting. So now we will add the hairs around this darker portion, which is there once we have done this lighter one. So taking thin colours, milky colours and adding some hairs across the black portion as well and across the paw line which is there. 20. Second layer Fur Details Part Four: Welcome back. So now we have done the upper part, the white area. Now we have to do the darker portion. We have to add more and more details towards this area, which is the darker area. So adding more bigger hairs around all the head portion, and also we'll add some hairs across this area, which is the darker portion in some diagonal direction. First, I did it in straight, then I'm doing it in a little diagonal directions, as you can see. Also, I will add more and more hairs towards the area, which is the darker white area patch which is there. We'll add more and more hairs so that it looks more whiter because there is a white patch which is there. So just adding more and more layers of hairs across this whole dark area across this paw line, then the side portion of the body. So everywhere you have to add more and more layers so that it looks like dense lines which are overlapping one another. So just making this area look more like whitish just by adding more white lines to it. All these lines are in diagonal direction, as you can see, So again, same thing. Try to do it very slowly, very carefully, very patiently because all these paintings take a lot of time. So try to do it very slowly. And once you are done, I'm sure that you will feel very happy after doing this entire painting. The end result will be very beautiful. Just adding some more hairs across the area, which is the outline, the black outline. Just making some more hairs which are coming outside the background part also, the lighter hairs. Again, milky color you have to use over here. Try not to use very thick color. Use milky color. Now I'm taking a grayish color mixing white and this both the dark colors, and just adding more and more black lines across the area just to blend the two colors, the light and the dark colors. So this is how we actually do blending when we do with textures. So this is one form of blending which we are doing here with so many textures. Again, adding some lines to the sides as well. So lines to the paw area. Giving a little more darker shape to the paw lines. So you can see so many times I'm repeating the same and same process until unless I feel satisfied that, okay, it is finally done. So try to add more and more layers to make it more fluffy and more hairy. So again, adding some more white lines across the first por Similarly on the second one as well. So finally, we are done with most of the details which we require. Now we will add some moustache across the face, which is the thing which is left over here. So whenever you are adding any details, make your color thin. And this line itself is not very sharp. So that's what I'm doing here. I'm making the line a little sharp so that the paw is fully visible. So again, taking white and adding more and more lines of white color. So now the whole texture part is done. Now we have to add some brownish color which is there. So light brownish color, which I will apply across the nose area, some of the lines. So whenever you draw it around the nose part or very small small lines, now we will add some more lines which are the Mustache lines. So try to make it thin the colors, especially don't use thick color. I'm mixing both the darker colors. You can use just black also. That is also fine. But try to use thin color when you are drawing the lines. You can change the direction of your face so that you can draw the flawless curvy lines. So lots of hairs which are coming outside. So I'm just trying to add those. If any mistakes happen over here, you can always fix by using your background color. Just paint it over with your background color, and you can fix this issue. Because whenever we create these lines, there are chances that mistakes will happen. If it happens, then you can just cover that line with the same background color which you are using. You can rotate the canvas according to your convenience and then draw the lines, make your color fluid, and then draw very fine lines using your liner brush, either of size two by zero or three by zero. Try to add different sizes of lines, some big, some small, like that. That's what I'm doing over here. So big, some small curvy lines which are going in the downward direction. So taking some white thin color and also adding some white lines as well. So you can see after adding these lines that bunny is looking so cute and so pretty. So I'm really liking this whole painting, and I'm sure you will also like it when you will try it. So it's a very cute little bunny which has a very cute face. And if you're trying out this painting, do tag me on my Instagram Das Mohini Art Gallery. I will love to reshare your work. So you can see I have switched my brush to a more thinner brush because I want more thin lines. Adding very tiny lines across the area, which is the mouth area. 21. Final Details: Welcome back. So let's start with our final details. So a little bit more of the lines are left and then we are done with this painting. So I'm just taking again the same color and adding more lines, more curvy lines across the nose area. You can change the position accordingly and try to draw a nice curvy line in just one go. Adding the lines, some small, some big, lots of hairs which are coming out. So you can see I'm taking a very thin color. Try to take very thin color. Don't use thick color. Now, there is a hair which is coming outside the eyes, that is the eyebrow. This eyebrow, we can see. We cannot see the eyes, but we can see the eyebrow hairs which are there across the eyes. So it is at the position where there is a curve. So there we have to add some more hairy lines, darker lines which are coming out. So you can see some lines which I have added above, some dots across the nose part. So see what all is missing and you can fix it here. So you can see already this painting is looking very beautiful and just taking some lighter color and adding some lighter lines across this nose area because there are lots of dark lines. So a little bit, I'm making this area more white. Taking some white color. Adding some more white across the nose, across the hairs which are coming out. So you can see how this is looking, adding some more brownish color on the ear part. So this is almost we have completed this painting. And if you want to protect this painting, you can always put one or two layer of varnish across it. I will add the link of how to varnish this painting. You can see from that. I think I have done in one of my painting, how to do the varnish part. That link also I will add so that you can see how to varnish your painting. Varnish is very important because that protects your painting from dust. So just a few more details and we are done with it. Taking more black color and drawing some more lines. So try to take as thin color as possible. Try not to use thick color when you are drawing all these lines. So you can see so many lines I have added, which are also overlapping one another. Just adding some area and fixing this part. So just adding some white textures across the line, which is the line which joins the foreground and the background. So I hope you enjoyed doing this painting like I do and do share your project works. I will love to see them. I know it's not a very easy painting, but if you will follow each and every process of mine, I am sure that you will be going to do it as beautiful as the bunny is. So just some final details. You can try this painting on any base, either on canvas or paper or the MDF board. A base you can use or a canvas sheet, any base you can use and try out this painting. Not required that it needs a circular base, you can take a square base also. So thank you so much for watching.
