Foolproof Coat Colour Formulas

I've been a pet portrait artist for over 7 years - and over that time I've drawn hundreds of pets and just about every breed you can imagine...

And when I started out, one of the things I struggled with the most was knowing exactly what colours to use to recreate their incredibly complex coats.

But over time (and with A LOT of trial and error!) I noticed that I was using combinations of the same 40 or so pencils 95% of the time.

And now I've compiled all those combinations into my Foolproof Formulas!

If you're just starting out with pet portraits, or would like a shortcut to help you choose the right colours for your animal drawings - this resource is for you!

What brand of pencils do you use?
I use a mix of:
-Faber Castell Polychromos
- Caran d'Ache Pablos &
- Caran d'Ache Luminance

I outline all my most used pencils and colours in my 'Core Pencils & Materials Checklist' bonus and encourage you to buy individual pencils rather than a full set so that you're not spending money on colours you'll never use.

If you already have pencil collection of another good quallity brand, you can use similar colours from that - just bear in mind the results may differ!
Will these work for any breed?
The formulas cover 20 of the most common fur types. These are the formulas that I use for at least 90% of my pet portrait commissions.

It includes formulas for:
- Yellow, cream & tan coats
- Brown & red coats
- White, grey & black coats
- Tabby, brindle & mixed coats
Will these formulas work for pastel pencils?
No, these formulas are specifically designed for coloured pencils.
I'm a complete beginner - will these formulas help me?
Yes! This resource is perfect for beginners - as one of the hardest things about learning how to draw animals is working out the combination of colours needed to recreate their complex coats.

My 'Foolproof Formulas' will give you a jumpstart in your progress as it takes a lot of the guesswork away (and ensures you only the buy the pencils you'll actually end up using!)

And of course you can always start adding your own colour choices to these formulas once your confidence grows!
Is this a physical or a digital product?
This is a digital product. When you sign up you'll get immediate access to the Formulas, the mini-training and the 3 bonuses via a secure course platform.
Will I get lifetime access to the formulas and materials?
Yes! When you buy my Foolproof Formulas you'll get lifetime access to the resource and all the materials.
Will the formulas teach me how to draw?
No, it's a handy colour guide: a tool to help you choose the right colours while you learn and practise.
