While looking at Molly’s photos, I could almost feel the softness of the fur on her ears. To capture this delicate texture in my drawing, I start with initial layers of colour applied with a very light touch, using circular motions to create a ‘soft blur’ without any harsh lines. Shadows are added with a gentle hand, and instead of using a ceramic blade for highlights—which would result in fine, coarse lines—I opt for a micro eraser to create thicker, softer highlights, ensuring a more natural effect.
