How to draw dog paws in pastels | Drawing fur in pastels

In this tutorial I'll show how to draw realistic dog paws in pastels. This can be a challenging element of a pet portrait to get right because the toes can very easily take on an incorrect shape. If the drawing process isn't broken down correctly, it's very easy for the foot to end up with incorrect proportions. I'll show how I like to break this up into manageable parts and still capture detail and realism through good contrast.
