Now it is time to add some little hairs. A good trick I learned is to just draw little lines and they will look like hairs.

I have never seen a piece of hairy wool but I am not a wool expert so I won't question it.

The drawing part is all done! Isn't that cool? I told you it wouldn't look like popcorn anymore.

You may be tempted to start showing it off but don't yet! There is still some colouring to do and it'll be more impressive after that.

Okay so this type of colouring is called "shading" and it's where you put dark parts in. I guess that's to make it look, like, 3D. But not like 3D at the movies. That makes me dizzy.

So just kind of draw some squiggly grey bits to start giving it some shade. There is a thing about the direction of light that people will tell you to consider but don't worry about that for now. It's super advanced.

Then make sure you shade the accent parts. And remember not to think about butts.

Finished! It looks pretty great right? Better than the original probably. Now you can show it to your friends, family, acquaintances, and people you've just met.

I'm so glad I could get through it. It was a real challenge but I hope you guys learned some good stuff. Bye~~
