Here's a fur tutorial because I'm awesome like that. No, someone actually asked me kindly who's trying improve upon their technique. (And I had the spare time.) This is basically how I go about creating fur for creatures. It may seem like a lot of steps, but it goes very quick once you have it down.
Use the download button to get the brushes I used plus a few extra.

Thank you for this, it is really clear and helpful. I especially love how much the last step 'pimps' the entire sphere!
