Werewolf Hero In Need of Fur
I have finally got a work area to start trying FX. I have started off with a character that my cousin is making for a comic book that he is trying to get recognized by. I have got a good look for the sculpt but the fur is hard to do. This is my first time sculpting, ever, so I know that there are probably a lot of things that look off, but the over all look I am happy with and feel that it is a good look. I just need help with technique on fur. Also, I have added the pictures of what I am trying to sculpt. He has a lot of different versions of the character, so I tried to take things from all of the drawings.

Here are some examples on sculpting fur/hair. There are a lot of different methods out there, so it's just a matter of finding one that works for you and for your project.
Parts 7,8, & 9 in this series on sculpting a tiger have some good examples of fur/hair sculpting.
This artist on Deviant Art has good examples for a couple methods:

One thing that might help add to the furry appearance is to add some rough tufts along the jawline and ears.
When fur bends around a hard angle it rises up, so areas like the jaw/ears can show a bit more tufting unless it's very short fur.
You see some examples of that in the tiger sculpting videos, as well as the illustration from your cousin.
It's looking great!
