Shiny Black Fur - Focus Video

So this video is an hour and half, focussing on the shiny black fur on top of Rosa's head. This will give you a really great insight into the amount of layers you'll need on the dark grey Pastelmat, and also how to create shiny fur that looks shiny. This is the first of a couple of focus videos this month. I have attached the ref photo and the line art (digitally created). I would always recommend you create your own line art from the ref photo. The pdf has all the info you'll need for the materials used and the sizes. Enjoy :)

HI Bonny, it appears the link to the video of first part of putting down the white is "not found" on YouTube. Is it still available somewhere?

Chris do you want to email me the ref photo, I can do a quick video and then post in here for everyone or just send to you? Very happy to do that today for you :)

I too need a tutorial on a black lab.. I have this memorial piece to do because they think I'm halfway decent at it. I know Bonny says its all about building up the layers but in order to get the dark black in the ear as in this focus video, I must have put 20 layers on and I can still see specks off white coming through from the paper. I have now trashed it and from watching this video I will start again on dark grey tomorrow. I can see how Bonny has done the top of the head and I'm sure I will be ok with that but I wish I could see how she started the ear. Was it exactly the same layers, pablo white, cold grey 1, cold grey 3, dark indigo underneath black and then the shiney parts of the ear I'm guessing with a pablo light grey ? How many layers of black did it take to get the intense black. Has anyone done one of these..... how did you do it. Desperate. I don't want them waiting forever for this piece but I am getting so stressed with it I wish I'd never accepted it.
