Step 25: Darken the big U-shaped line on the right to create the top part of the faun or satyr's leg. Use short strokes along the path for to create a fur-like texture. On the top, right side of the torso, draw a small triangle-like shape made up of short strokes for the tail.

Step 26: Darken the guides on the lower, right side to create the lower part of the leg. Make the shapes a bit thinner and more curved than the guides. Add short strokes at the bottom for the edge of the fur, and split the faun's hoof with short lines.

Step 27: Use the U-shaped line on the left as a guide to draw the top of the faun's other leg. Simply darken the path of the guide using short strokes for a fur-like texture.

Step 28: Darken the outer edges of the remaining guides to create the bottom part of the faun's leg. Make the shape of the leg curvier. Use short strokes at the bottom for the furry texture. Split the hoof at the bottom using a few short, vertical strokes.

Step 29: For a cleaner look, erase as much as you can of the initial guide lines. Don't worry about erasing all of the guides. It's okay to leave some behind. Re-draw any final sketch lines you may have accidentally erased.

Final Step: Add some shading to your faun or satyr drawing to give it more dimension and volume. Use a dark value around the eyes to make them stand out. On the horns, alternate between a dark and light value. Use a dark value on the hair. For the face, use a medium value but a dark value for the shadows. Pick the direction of the light source when shading so that the shadows are consistent with it. Vary the pressure on your pencil to get different degrees of tonal value.

Add the value lightly at first, then gradually build up to the level of darkness that you want. Fauns and satyrs are mythical creatures, so you can shade yours differently if you'd like. You can actually give your drawing stripes or spots or even color it! For a more classic look, use a very dark value for the lower half of the body. Shading can be time-consuming, so be patient and take breaks. Continue shading until the entire body is covered.

Add a cast shadow underneath. This helps ground the faun or satyr so it doesn't appear to be floating.
