Some useful tips and notes:

• 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 the underlying shading.

• Try at first to place basic shading with a less detailed brush, hard or soft, and then put the fur strands above, according to the form and lighting.

• Make some areas deeper (darker) — shaded areas among strands near their roots — or set some light and highlight accents.

• Play also with layer and brush blending modes, such as Soft Light, Screen, Multiply, etc.

• Go from common to partial shapes: firstly specify the main volumes, lights, and shadows, then go to detailing.

• 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 most visible and highlighted. Try to make some of them softer of 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.
