You know when sometimes you paint fur and feel like it comes out looking a big... clumpy and 'wet'? I was so happy to get to paint that on purpose! X)

They certainly can be. Pencils and a 'stippling' technique lend themselves well to shorter fur, I've found. Longer, flowing or clumpy fur, I've yet to master. Come close, but not quite there... lol
Traditional is the best way to go, imo. Nothing quite like manipulating real (expensive!) stuff with your bare hands. No humming of a computer, no eye strain from the backlight. Just me, pencils, and paper. :3

omfg lol. johis you just saved me a lot of struggling. xD
my current picture im working on, is the first time i have tried to use detail to fur and stuff like this.
i have been struggling to get the shading on the muzzle right, and this is at almost the perfect angle for a good reference.
i mean its the opposite direction, the muzzles thinner than im doing. but its a great reference for where to shade o.o
i suck at visualizing shapes for shading. always overdo the curves. xD
