28 Realistic FUR Brushes for Procreate
(version 5 and above)

Realistic FUR is the realistic brush set for painting animals or furries, original characters with fur, and other painted wooly and fluffy creatures. 

The brushes depicting fur from the side view (brushes # 2, 3, and 8) have two options for each one: the left and right hair growth direction. Therefore, there are actually three more brushes in the set — 31.

 ■ Some useful tips and notes: 

• Start coloring with a neutral, halftone local color, then shade it according to the volume and lighting, and finally, add layers of fur with colors a bit lighter than the underlying shading.
• Try applying basic shading with a less detailed brush, hard or soft, and then, according to the form and lighting, add the fur strands above.

• See the video with the demonstration available at this link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgHFbC-zQkg

Please don’t be confused because the video shows working in Photoshop: FUR brush sets and brush behavior in various software products, and working with them, I made identical. 

Then, put the fur strands above, according to the form and lighting.
• Make some areas deeper (darker) — shaded areas among strands near their roots — or set some light and highlight accents.
• You can also play with layer and brush blending modes, such as Soft Light, Screen, Multiply, etc.
• Go from common to partial shapes: First, specify the main volumes, lights, and shadows, then go to detailing.
• In the end, I’d add some of the sharpest strands or hairs, maybe blur or darken some of the underlying strands, and light up some of the most visible, highlighted ones. Try to make some of them softer or sharper, darker or lighter in the finish or work, a kind of post-processing. Add some highlights.
• As said before, brushes # 2, 3, and 8 have two options for the direction of left and right hair growth.
