Fur-experiments

Long fur test sketches, following different tutorials to try and find what gives me the result closest to what I'm looking for.

Tutorials used:
Black fur: fav.me/d5o0ocb
Chestnutty-yellowish fur: fav.me/d1qh7im
Gradient fur: fav.me/d3l7tdj
Tan with black tips: fav.me/d496l72
Long thin bit of brown fur: fav.me/d1wly9z
Really pale light grey fur: fav.me/d3izm5l

The photograph I took of the entire piece of paper had extremely uneven lighting and didn't show any of the sketches off very well at all, hence I grouped together the individual shots. If you want to see the piece of paper (with an added lighting test in the middle lol) here it is: sta.sh/02anut0ri7hn
