Ok. First things first. Colour
the base colours you want to use onto your animal. I am
doing a calico cat. so she is mainly whites and browns.
Then add darker areas where you see fit and using the smudge
tool (pointing hand in your toolbox) at 50% smudge all your
areas. as shown in the image. Note to actualy look at photo
reference so you know where you animals fur lies. If you
dont use reference it can look odd. Most animal fur goes
downwards. In the cats case. Head fur goes upwards around
the face and slopes down around the cheeks.

Step 3
Using your brush tool. Take a dark colour
(not TOO dark. Just a shade or two. As im colouring white
fur. I have gone for a medium Grey. start where the layers
are going to be at the bottom. so the fur will look like
it is laying naturally ontop of each other. In this case
i am doing the foot first. and working up to the Thigh.

Step 4
Remember to work out how short your fur is
supposed to be. My cat has very short leg fur so i am doing
short movements with my Brush. dont make the fur go in straight
rows (unless your animal is well groomed) this wont look
natural. so make the end fur go off in different directions
slightly. making a scruffy look.

Step 5
Now selecting a lighter colour go over your
darker fur. Dont make it as close as your darker fur. Make
it more seperate so you can still see the dark fur underneath
As shown.

Step 6
Get a even lighter colour and go over that
layer. Once again use even less strokes. so it is gradually
building into layers. Make sure you know where your light
is coming from. Only do your strokes in that direction.

Step 7
Lasty getting your lightest
colour add to the area where the light will be hitting.
Make the brush about half the size so your light fur is
finer. giving your fur a whispy look.
And there you have it! Use this tecnique throughout your
image. Remember that it does take practice so dont give
up after your first attempt!
