Draw a Realistic Cat's Eye with Pastel Pencils

Taught by an artist with more than 30 years of experience, this course focuses on one specific, achievable project: a realistic pastel-pencil drawing of a cat's eye. The instructor recommends pastel pencils specifically because they blend easily and are simple to control, even for someone picking up the medium for the first time.

What's Included

A materials list, including specific Faber-Castell PITT Pastel Pencil shades and PastelMat paper
A provided outline drawing you can transfer using a graphite or white tracing sheet
Step-by-step video instruction through each stage of the drawing

It's pitched squarely at beginners, requiring only a small set of pencils to get started. If you've wanted a finished piece of art you're genuinely proud of but assumed realistic drawing was out of reach, this course is built to prove otherwise with one guided project.

What do I need?

Pastel Pencils

Pastel Pencils are a wonderful medium, they can be blended easily on top of each other and, because they're in a pencil form, are very easy to use. This subject is classed at an "beginners" level. We have listed all the colours that you need below:

Faber-Castell PITT Pastel Pencils

101 white
102 cream
273 warm grey IV
189 cinnamon
186 terracotta
172 earth green
177 walnut brown
175 dark sepia

Pastel Paper

The paper I use is Sand Coloured PastelMat Pastel Paper (300gms thickness). This is a fantastic paper and can take a lot of layers.

It has a sand paper like texture to it which makes it more difficult to erase mistakes on but the results you can get are worth it. If you do not have this paper you can use your own pastel paper (UART 800 grit is a great alternative).

Outline Drawing

I provide you with a basic outline drawing for each picture. If you wish to use this, simply trace the outline to your paper using a graphite transfer sheet like tracedown (for dark grey paper you will benefit from using a white tracing sheet so you can see the outline more clearly).

Step by Step Instructions

I walk you through step by step with video instruction how to draw each stage. You'll learn techniques behind drawing beautiful bird pictures and create pictures you can be proud of.
