years ago I did the lopared black and white

Dose anyone know where I can get the ref pic from..I havent beenon the site for a few year's and to me it all changed thank in antisipitation Paul
 
You can find any Leopard picture in your PC/Tablet save it to your device and change it to black and white.
In order for the white hairs to show you’ll need a substrate that can take erasing, just lay down a very light layer of dark paint and then erase the dark paint where the white hairs would be. Painting white over black will give you blue shift.

Absolutely agree with Jackster. That would be my approach too.
Here is a great demo video from Mick Neil.

Glad to help Buddy. Good luck with the rest and ask away if you have any more questions.
 
doing a small section of a subject you find to much is the smart thing to do. I've always suggested 'just do an eye / hair / half face' to people that find portraits terrifying.

just pick a bit and dive in. you can certainly use just black paint but you adjust the intensity of the colour by reducing the paint, light passes, erasing etc.

“Paint what you see, not what you think you see”
your eyes and brain will trick you !

they are not solid dots, lots of dagger strokes close together and white hairs interrupting occasionally and clearly visible atriums the edge of each ‘dot’

For the best results in erasing, you will need a substrate that’s can take it. I’ve found Claybord or posterboard in my experience support this to achieve the desired effect.

But most importantly is having a paint that supports erasing. A lot of paints make it harder to erase thus adding to the frustration. I use E’tac Efx for my erasing but there is others paints that work well as well.

Now the next part of erasing. It’s almost like another system to add to your painting. There’s when to do it and when not to. Meaning in certain stages.

When doing fur, I like to dust the area I’m working in and use a fabercastell pencil style eraser to rough in the length and direction that the fur is flowing. Then build up in layers to add depth with more erasing on top of those to build it up to the saturation needed in said area. On top of that I like to use an xacto knife to scratch in the hairs for added detail and build highlighted areas. Again when using a blade you will need a hard surface such as Claybord to do so. Light pressure as you are just removing the paint. Not literally scratching it in there. A white based substrate is the best that way you remove it back to white and there will be no need for white paint. All my paintings are doing with just black and I use the white of my substrate for my whites.

Hope this helps a bit and it makes sense!
