Hello! My name is Kimberley Russell and I am a pet portrait and wildlife artist based in Melbourne Australia.
I have been drawing for 17 years and have recently launched a teaching platform on Patreon where I upload monthly tutorials for students to watch and follow along so they can learn how to draw realistic animals too.
To say thank your for the support I have received in my first 2 months on Patreon I am giving away this free tutorial on how to draw a full Puffin portrait. This 6 hour tutorial ( which is split over 2 parts PART 1 and PART 2 )goes through step by step how to achieve this realisticlooking Puffin in pastel pencils, which pencil and materials I use, and how I lay the pigment down.

If you'd like to join my Patreon account head to   / kimberleyrussellart  
or simply go to the Patreon Website and look me up, Kimberley Russell Art.

This Free tutorial is done using the PanPastels, Stabilo Carbothello, Fabercastell Pitt Pastels Caran D’ache, and Derwent. A full list of materials and exact pencils in linked below

In the links below, I have the Materials list available for download
The reference photo and a Basic Line Art to download if you don't want to draw the outline yourself and need a helping hand with tracing as well as a colour picked image to help you choose the pencils you might need if you don’t have the supplies I have used. Do the best with what you have!

If you would like to check out my work across my other social media you can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok where I post different content to each platform with progress pics, recent works, timelapses, and photos.
