Description
...Aww Jake's shown in this tutorial. Didn't realize it until now. At least he'll help showing you how to draw fur.
As promised part 2 of the tutorial.
Part 1 can be found here: Detailed Hair part 1 !!!
I decided I won't make any more tutorials in the (near) future, unless someone pays me to make them.
I have no in-comings, and I spent many hours in creating this. I really love to help you guys, but c'mon
I could put these tutorials in books and sell them so I finally get some money!And people take it for granted I create these things. My eye tutorial got almost 3000 downloads while it has a little more than 1000 faves. That's not fair.
Okay, end of drama. I'm just a little upset at the moment.
Hope you'll enjoy this tutorial.

Your tutorials are absolutely amazing. The only gap is lips and mouths! ( which you do really, really well, btw) Perhaps someday you can do a lips and mouth tutorial?

thanks so much for your brilliantly detailed tutorials. they are by far one of, if not the, best and most useful i have ever come accross. they're also very inspiring - i've picked up pencils lately more than my tablet pen, which is saying something 
(and the feather 'stem' is called a shaft)

It's all helpful to me. I added some of your stuff to fav's a long time ago and have noticed a difference in my own drawings since. I have a long way to go (mostly because I work in full color a lot), but every image you put up helps. So when you do get a book out, I'm more than willing to buy it.

that's great to know, thank you so much

No offense, but I think you're getting few favs because it's not really a tutorial! you basically say that you "just" draw hair by hair, and give a couple of tips.
But questions remain: how do you get the lines so nice and tidy and parallell? A ruler, perhaps (I'm guessing that you don't)? Do you plan in advance where the individual hairs will cross or do you use a rubber? etc, things you probably give for granted.
Problem is that most of the people that ask for tips are probably those that don't have the level to actually put all this into practice. They look for ways to simplify their lives, not for ways to be more accurate at the expense of effort.
The sad truth in your case is that it's all really about skill and practice, there's no way around. The good news is that this shows just how skilled you are, and how difficult it really is to copy/imitate you!

Aha! So you were just being greedy! What about the deviantArtist camaraderie?
Good luck with your book!

well the part you're missing is that I'm not going into detail about such things because I'm working on an artbook! If I put all the small details about I draw such things in tutorials like these, there wouldn't be a reason to publish a book, right?
Honestly I could tell people how exactly I draw every little thing: the pressure of a pencil when drawing hair, the way of blending an area without blending materials, how to get the shapes right, how you could know where to put each pencilline, etc etc etc
This is just a 'basic' thing and of course it takes a lot of practice until you know how to draw the things the way I draw them.
Besides, these are self developed techniques
That said I must say I do appreciate your comment. It does show you care and know what things I should do to make better tutorials! thank you

My first ever devious thought... I see what you mean with the download/fave rate...
If I could figure out the Internet a bit more, I would like to add You as my favorite, of favorites... seriously inspired me thanks (-------( 0 o )--------)

that's really useful! definitely added to the faves. i remember my art teacher told me to use a putty rubber when drawing hair especially for fur. did you not use it? would it be better to not use it?

extremely well laid out and presented. However i did have trouble with the fact that the explanations were not detailed enough. I didn't really get what i wanted out of it. BUt otherwise an absolutely fantastic tutorial. I really like your style

I think your tutorials are one of the best I've seen on dA, and trust me I've read a lot!
The reason is not because of the art involved, it's the structure of your explanations that incorporate humour and cheery personality while keeping it concise and straight to the point.
Although I find that good art in a tutorial is obviously good, sometimes the explanation can make or break a tutorial.
Well done and I hope that many others share my opinion!

wow... while I received quite a lot of them, that's the best compliment someone ever gave to me, thank you so much!!!
I think it's makes a tutorial more interesting by adding a little humour. A lot of times, when I read an artbook, my thoughts drifted away while reading, because the way they explain how they draw things is quite... I wouldn't say boring but... boring. When I'll publish my book, it will be a lot more different

Hello!
My name is Ashlee (if you can't tell by my username) and i just wanted to chat. I'm a pencil artist myself and i'm alot more confident in my pencil drawings then anything else. Well, unlike you i see, i only have a normal mechanical lead pencil. I've always wanted to make my drawings more realistic and alot better looking then they are. You're tutorials are alot of help and i reread them alot because it heps me.
Just wanted to stop by and say hello
