How to extract furry animals

Have you ever desired to put a nice sweet rabbit into one of your works (maybe no…)? Anyway I’m going to explain how to extract furry animals from their background without lose a single fur. For this exercise I’ll use this image of a bunny.

 To extract hair/fur is not simple. But there is a trick I gonna show you. Grab the pen tool in paths mode and start tracing rabbit’s outline. We will add fur later.
 As we made in the previous tutorials, once we have created the path using the pen tool we can switch to the selection by pressing ctrl+Enter. Then inverse the selection (shift+ctrl+I) and hit delete.
