Another fur practice [= I made this picture in grey scale mode and draw over it because i don't know how to "fur" characters and how to get it look right when crossing over the colours. I've had this fur shading style in mind for a while just not go around to trying it out. Feel free to critique and give me tips [= I took on board previous tips [from what i remembered] in this picture ^^ and I do like it alot better than the last
but~ i did spend a little~ longer than i planned to drawing this... *cough*18hrs*cough* but most of ti was restarting and redoing shit and trial and error XD
I wanted more fur in the face as i know it's lacking, but i struggled to make ti looks natural and not over do it nad to blend the fur with the muzzle and stuff, so if you have and idea for that i'd appreciate it ^^ the same technique can be used to the legs as well i'd imagine. This was also the shading style i tried and the flesh-tail ref i posted, at which point i learnt that i had to do it grey scale to get it to work properly.

haha the lineless was a pain in the arse XD but if you dont do furdetail in lineless drawings the shading doesn't look right. because the shading is what give the ilusion of lines

It looks great! I love the shading you added under the chin, it's the perfect colour. You're getting so much better at painting fur, and I can see that you obviously put a lot of time into this. Just keep practising. Eventually, it will start to feel more natural and it'll only take a few hours to paint something like this. If I can offer a suggestion, using a larger brush to add clumps of fur as a base and then adding lighting with smaller detail brushes helps to build up the appearance of thick fur. When it comes to the face and legs, I usually use a blender brush to soften the edges so that any markings appear to look more natural, but I always make sure the brush strokes are in the direction of the fur. This is a beautiful piece, I'm excited to see what sort of progress you'll make next time!

I'm not sure what the photoshop equivalent of a blender brush is XP It's just a brush that sort of mixes colours together so that they look smoother I guess. Maybe a smear or a smudge tool? I don't know.

yeah there's isn't such a brush

D: I couldn't survive without a blender brush. I guess a smudge tool isn't too bad though.

it does a different thing XD it doesn't blend two colours by creating other colours that fit type thing, it just smudges it? like moves it and makes it blur kinda XD
