Realistic FUR: 28 Brushes for Adobe Photoshop

Realistic FUR: 28 Brushes for Adobe Photoshop

Also works with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Fresco

Realistic FUR is 28 excellent Photoshop brushes I use for creating perfect fur when painting animals, furries, original characters with fur, and other wooly and fluffy creatures and objects.

I've worked to learn how to draw realistic fur for quite a long time. And I can be proud that I've reached this goal (and keep moving on). To simplify the work process, I created a series of brushes for myself and I'd like to share them with you. My brushes allow you to create high-quality, realistic fur styles and countless combinations. So I'm sure, you'll appreciate the assistance that they will give you during your work!

20 brushes remastered from the first 'FUR' brush sets + 8 new brushes. 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.

👇 See the short demo VIDEO of HOW they work 👇:

• Minimal versions where the brushes were tested — CS, but ABR format file is also compatible with earlier Photoshop versions.

All brushes were created, tested, and improved over long and multiple work processes

• Some useful tips and notes:

• As you know, there are a number of basic shading techniques in painting and drawing, and I like this one as the most appropriate for me — I find it one of the most rational by painting the fur — to start coloring with a neutral, halftone local color, then shade it according to the volume and lighting, then add layers of the fur with colors a bit lighter than underlying shading.

• Start with a general neutral local fur color a tone or two darker, and paint the shape and shading with any brush or brushes more convenient to model such volumes.

• After, as usual, it may be necessary to make some areas deeper (darker) — for example, shaded areas deeply among strands near their roots — or set some light and highlight accents in the lights.

• You can also experiment with layer' and brush blending modes, such as Soft Light, Screen, Multiply, etc.

• As in painting or drawing at all, I'd recommend proceeding from common, main shapes to partial ones and details: firstly, specify the main big volume, lights, and darks, then put non-detailed fur strands using matching brushes, and then make the detailing with detailed fur brushes.

• 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. The separated hair can be drawn by regular textured thin brushes.

• Each brush has a slight Color variability to make the fur more picturesque and realistic. Brushes # 2, 3, and 8 have two options for the direction of left and right hair growth.
