For the start, yeah, it may not feel 'easy' because you'd have to experiment with a lot of brushes, their style, and such. Also the brushes play their role in most of times for shades and lights. Since I use Manga Studio 5 (aka Clip Studio) for literally... everything. And how they play a role is... flat brushes sometimes wont fit the drawing you have, so you have to... improvise? I think that's the word. Not an English speaker. And create your own. Which is all fun and frustrating when you can't get it right.
On the fur, it isn't that much hard, but I would call it tedious for sure. If doing fur with digital, you would need a separate layer, and then outline the fur chunks, lightly with a darker colour of the fur, and multiply (or any other dark layer mode) it, then it needs another layer which is the fur streaks itself. (If you wanna know that in a visual look, I can get an example doodled up~). But I do agree that with traditional it is lot faster, and easier, pencils are magic sometimes on that. So the fur I suppose depends on your "knowledge stash" (whatever that is, I made that term up) on how you think you would get the fur effect.
But yeah, everything is a tedious little fudging doughnut (best censorship ever), especially clouds, and grass (I don't like grass brushes...).
I suppose it all depends how long an artist is working with a specific media. XD
Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary. The definition’s blurred.

If you find anything offensive of what I say. Then it's not my fault that you took it serious.
