Fur making
::Making fur::

This is for photoshop 7 and may or may not be applicable to other programs.
Make the following canvas: transparent, 300 by 300 pixels and then choose the following colors and the grass brush.
Then color the entire thing with the brush, don't worry if there's other unwanted colors in there like green. Like so:
Then make the following changes exactly:
Then if you wish to have the exact same color, type the following boxes. If not, click on the color box and pick out colors to your desire. If unsure as to why it is not registering, Click on the custom button below cancel and you'll be able to pick out the colors.
Make a selection, for now, a circle.
Then click on the smudge tool and pick a brush size, I chose size 10--you can have the edges semi-soft.
Then go up at the top where it says Strength: and change the number to 75% or weaker if you desire:
Then start smudging with the following numbers in order. Please start at the bottom and work your way up so that it looks like fur and not knotted or matted. Though you can work at the top if that's how you want it to be.
Then do a second row of smudging:
Once you get the handle of smudging, do the rest, remember, fur is free flowing and has directions so don't keep it in one way!
And that's how I make fur and so can you! Expirement with this. I made a piece using fur technique like the cat below:
the finished piece of that one is here: http://www.mediaminer.org/fanart/view.php/188003
And that's all folks! :) Good luck on your venture!
