Description So I have this super simple method to making fur/tails now my handwriting is DREADFUL so I will write the steps here!

1. Draw a super simple tail with the colors wanted. Trust me, it wont look like much at first.
2. Fluff it up, here I am using brush with the density up, and the dilution and blending very low and just fluff it how you like.
3. From here out I lock the layer, and shade it a bit (I use low density airbrush, and smooth it out) then using the brush, only higher density and kinda make it look more furry.
4. Here I put another darker shade, just a bit lower than the previous.
5. Here I go even darker, but it is concentrated towards the edges of the fur.
6. Finally, I add some light done with low density airbrush, and fan it out a bit with the brush. In this case I used a pale yellow.

*EDIT* Why is this my most viewed drawing

I don't really understand what you mean by 'lock' the layer?

I dunno, personally I never saw the benefit from SAI over GIMP, unless I really felt the need to make six+ selections before working on my art.

Though I appreciate your tutorial on the fur, I can see how to apply it to GIMP with your explanation.
