Yep

One way you could perhaps implement it is to take and average of positions every 3-5 pixels perhaps and then calculate an angle and apply fur to the area that the brush has gone over? I'd have to do a bit of thinking about this. I'm a programmer too so I'll let you know if I come up with any ideas as to how to go about such a thing. Instead of selecting areas bit by bit, the brush radius/shape/size would act as a selection and it would draw every x amount of pixels moved?
