Pet fur. You love it when you’re running your hands through the soft and comforting coat of your cat or dog. It’s not so fun when you find you’re covered in it right before you leave the house for work.

This pet fur effect should let you achieve a creative pet fur look that is fun to play with, but doesn’t get all over you. If you’ve used Illustrator before, it should be pretty easy to follow. If you’re new to Illustrator, you might want to do a short intro course first just to get a feel for the tools, but you might also be able to dive right in, given that this tutorial is quick and easy, involving only a few steps.

Enjoy!
