Super Fast & Easy Way of Creating Fur (or Hair) Text In Photoshop

In this video training tutorial I will show you how to create a Fur Text Effect (or hair) using Photoshop. Although the results are very realistic, there is no Photoshop 3D used at all! Only very clever techniques using layers, and masks!

The whole project won’t take you more than 20 minutes to complete and it is a very useful technique that you can apply to many other projects.

You can use whatever image of a furry creature that you like to achieve this effect. I will use a picture of my cat  but feel free to use any other image of hair or fur to complete this Photoshop text effect.
