Animal sketch

I have never really painted any animals before. It feels like there is too much detais because of all the fur. that seems really time consuming and might feel frustrated. But i wanted to give it a shot so tried to paint a black cat. chose a black cat so i don't have to face color problems. this is the first time so i should take it easy and stay between black and white.
I might also need to learn about structure and other things if i want to paint animals.

here are some process shots:
