Drawing a realistic panda bear in Photoshop

Libardo, I'm always fascinated by your drawing, but I wish you would either post some text on what you're doing or show the functions in PS so I can tell HOW you're doing it -- for example, did you you use a fur brush to make the white parts fuzzy or did you apply a filter or something?  Also, do you make the shapes with the pen tool or are you using regular shapes and warping them or something?
