28 excellent brushes for CLIP STUDIO PAINT, which I use to create the perfect fur when I'm painting fluffy animals, furries, etc.
The set contains 20 brush sub-tools, but brushes #2,3 and 8, depicting the fur from aside,
have 2 options for each other, for right and left-directional hair growth.
So, in fact, the Set contains 31 brush sub-tools.
I've worked to learn how to draw realistic fur for quite a lot of time. And I can be proud that I've reached this goal. To simplify matters, I created a series of brushes for myself and decided to share them with you. I'm sure, you'll appreciate the assistance that they will bring you to the work!

• 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.
• Start with a general neutral local fur color a tone or two darker, and paint the shape and shading with any brush or brushes more convenient to model such volumes.
• After, as usual, it may be necessary 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.
• Try also experimenting with the layer or brush blending modes, such as Soft Light, Screen, Multiply, 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, a kind of post-processing. Add some highlights. Use the "Shining Tips" brushes from the set. Regular textured thin brushes can draw the separated hair. • Switch on "Lock sub tool do not save change" (see the picture below) for each brush preset (sub-tool) if you want to reset the brush after changing the settings, etc. I'd recommend turning it on, except for the cases when you adjust the brush for yourself.
• Each brush has a slight Color variability to make the fur more picturesque and realistic. It is linked to the pen pressure: the more pressure, the more secondary color (the color from the backward, second square) randomly adds to the primary color.
1. After downloading the file, unzip it (if this is an archive).
2. Start Clip Studio Paint.
3. Choose the brush tool you prefer.
4. Select all the .sut files and drag & drop them into the list of brushes. The brush presets (sub-tools) will start appearing in the list.
5. Enjoy! I'd advise switching on "Lock sub tool do not save change" for each brush of the Set (see the tip and picture above). The basic settings are already made, but you can set your brushes as you wish. In this case, turn this switch off.
6. Enjoy and create great work!
