Fur is an amazing structure; millions of hair that make a warm, fluffy coat that we can't stop ourselves from touching, stroking and cuddling! (even if it's fur of a hungry tiger). It also seems to be very time-consuming to draw realistically. Would you like to learn a few non-time-consuming tricks to draw a natural looking fur? Well that's my mission in this tutorial.
Practical Tips
There are a few things you should know before starting. This is how you can quickly draw a simplified strand. See? It's fast and efficient.
Step 2
When you want to overlap coats, it's good to start from the bottom one. This way you'll avoid crossing the strands.
Step 3
When it comes to breaking, draw bent strands, leaving some irregular gaps between them.
Step 4
Afterwards, fill the gaps with black to represent the undercoat.
Step 5
Last but not least, when you want to stress contours, never stress all of them. Look at the picture below, which "strand" looks more natural?
