The first of two tutorials on drawing bricks. This tutorial covers drawing the outline and arrangement of the bricks which can be a bit painful and time-consuming, but is a very important step when drawing a brick façade.

One of the questions I am always asked and always find difficult to answer is “which brand of pencil is the best?”
African Wild Dogs (or Cape Hunting Dogs) are the African equivalents of wolves and are not found anywhere else in the World. African Wild Dogs are also often called Painted Wolves because of their unique coats. This tutorial will show the steps involved in drawing a Wild Dog and the patchwork-patterning of their fur.
Required Equipment:
African Wild Dogs have one of the most unusual fur coats in the animal kingdom, resembling military camouflage more than anything found in nature. Fortunately, there is massive variation in the patterns of each Wild Dog so you can’t really go wrong. That said, it is still quite difficult to draw the patterns in the fur whilst still capturing the actual fur texture as well. This tutorial will demonstrate a simple technique that produces realistic looking Wild Dog fur.
Required Equipment:
Barn Owls are a very popular subject amongst artists because of their unusual faces and popularity amongst photographers (there is no shortage of excellent reference material). The complexity of Barn Owl feathers and coats often deters people from drawing them, but this tutorial will show you a fairly simple process that produces a very realistic looking Barn Owl drawing.

Over the last month, I have been working on this black-paper drawing of a lynx. The hardest part of drawing on black paper is that, unless you have high quality paper, it is more difficult to shade. The black paper I used was quite a lot rougher than printer paper which I usually use so there isn’t much shading in my drawing as a result.
This tutorial explains how to draw buffalo horns, probably the most difficult of all animal horns to draw. The reason buffalo horns are so difficult is because they have a wide range of textures – some areas are very smooth and others are rough and have deep cracks and ridges. These variations make drawing a natural and realistic looking horn very difficult.
