Aershaa+Souls-Shading Tutorial

This was asked for by so here it is! A big ass, rambling tutorial on how I do my two types of fur shading. One is based around the style of and her Aershaa. The other is my own, and is used in Souls Manifest!

Please read it and comment on this if you find it remotely helpful ^^''' I'm a bit worried I got too rambling, but I took great lengths to go through every stage I do, so that others may be able to look at the images, read the explanations, and hopefully make some sense of it ^^

This is a PS tutorial, as that is what I use, but I think GIMP users will also find it at least somewhat helpful ^^
