In this tutorial, I'll show how to draw a Polar Bear & cub in pastels. I have included lots of tips into this video which focus on how to draw photo realism when working on a smaller size. The key to this is how we use the pencils, how the layers are built up and getting the balance right of how much detail to include. Drawing on smaller scales like this can really encourage more of a controlled pencil technique which can be transferred over to larger projects.
