28 Realistic FUR Brushes for Procreate 5 (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. 

 

20 brushes remastered from the first ‘FUR’ brush sets + 8 new brushes. The brushes depicting fur from the side view (brushes # 23, and 8) have two options for each one, for the left and right hair growth direction. Therefore, there are actually three more brushes in the set — 31.

Some useful tips and notes: 

• How I’d advise painting furry volumes. 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.

• You can try at first to place basic shading with a simple brush, hard or soft (as you can see in the video with demonstration), and then put the fur strands above, according to the form and lighting.

• After, as usual, it’s needed 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 LightScreenMultiply, 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, kind of post-processing. Add some highlights, specular.

• As said before, brushes # 2, 3, and 8 have two options for each one, for left and right hair growth direction.
