Foolproof Coat Colour Formulas

After drawing hundreds of pets over the years, I began to notice something insteresting.

Even though every animal is unique, with different breeds, coat patterns and colours, I kept reaching for the same 40 or so pencils again and again.

I started recording my "colour recipes" for different coat types - each with a reliable mix of colours that worked every time.

Those combinations have become my Foolproof Formulas: a collection of colour recipes that I use in 95% of my pet portraits.

And they've helped thousands of artists save time and money by skipping the guesswork and reaching for the pencils that will get them results - Every. Time!

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!
