Step 1. I wet the paper and covered it in a medium version of the fur color.
Step 2. After its dry, I used the color and several darker versions of the color to add some darks. I'm using some negative painting. This step helps me see the shapes better.
Step 3. I added more darks on the front pieces of the fur.
Step 4. I added more darks and a few stands of white with the white gouache.
Step 5. I added layers of white gouache to make strands of light hairs. I also continued to add darks, especially some in thin lines for some of the hairs. This is in process and would need more time looking and refining the shapes, values, and textures.
