Suggestions on how to create fur for this cougar head

[system]

This is just a learning piece. I’m trying to get better at hair and fur, but tbh, with cougar hair, the fur is so short i’m not sure how to go about it. I looked at fibermesh, but zbrush bitched about exceeding my polycount.

What are the various methods available to me?

Any help would be appreciated

Once you get a hair style, color etc., mask off smaller areas for your fiber mesh, smaller patches=less polygons. More subtools to manage but quite possible.

I’m not good at this domain, but I’d like to share a work with you.
