Alas, the long awaited fur tutorial is finished! It only took 5ever but I finally got it done. I don't really consider myself an expert on this subject but quite a few people have asked me to do this so I guess I must be doing something right! xD

I was originally going do a stylization tutorial next but I scrapped the idea cuz there's just waaay too much stuff I hafta go over for that one. ^^' So if I was to do a stylization tutorial I would probably break it off into different subjects haha

I decided to add a little twist to this and added how to stylize fur, cuz I wanna encourage people to find their own unique styles while understanding the basics of course. 8) I hope my poor writing skills make sense to you guys.

I'm not a really confident tutorial maker so if you see that I've said/did something wrong, something doesn't make sense to you, or if you have questions please let me know! C: I'm probably not going to make any more tutorials unless I get multiple requests on a specific subject people would like to see.

If you're interested in other tutorials by me, I also have another tutorial on shading fav.me/d4ot0sn but its kinda outdated since I've resorted to grayscale shading recently.

IN OTHER NEWS, I got a haircut today.

EDIT: sasfgdsh omg oh wow thanks for the DD guise!! ;w;

Awesome, although I do struggle massively with fur clump shapes and making them flow together.. I bet it's just a thing that comes with time but I wish I could get it down, plus a lot of my fur is quite jagged and the clumps don't feel right.

Yeah thats a thing that kinda takes some getting used to. Studies will usually help though!

Rynneer In reply to Jaxxiss [2017-06-26 14:38:03 +0000 UTC]

I actually use GIMP, which I refer to as "Photoshop for poor people" because it does everything Photoshop does but is free. I use a lot of downloadable brushes that other people make, like redheadstock

When you learned anatomy, for instance a dog's face, how did you go about doing so?  

BTW, I really respect the fact that you reply to like every comment.  It can be pretty time consuming!

Seyumei In reply to Pwney [2016-02-05 01:21:24 +0000 UTC]

just reference from photos! Once you get the hang of drawing a real dog's face, you can stylize it to your own liking

Ahah well its not too bad xD i like talking to ppl haha

This tutorial was super helpful! I will continue to refer back to this over time, thanks for making it! c:
Also, the last part you mentioned about mimicking the fur style while shading really made a difference in some of my recent drawings! Thanks again!
