I start out by laying out dagger strokes with yellow ochre

Then I mist over with same color

Next I add Brown to add definition

Next I mist with Violet avoiding white areas

I added more dagger strokes with Yellow Ochre

Then I misted again with Violet

Now I added blue to eyes and chin to create a base for white

Next I add black

Now I add White on fur and chin and highlights

Now I go back with a mist of Yellow Ochre to soften some of the highlights

When airbrushing fur always avoid filling in all the white of the shirt with dagger strokes this allows for more photo realistic looking fur.
Build your layers slowly to avoid over saturation of color.
Pay very close attention to the details of you subject matter. The more time you spend studying you subject than you airbrush painting the more exact your art work will become.

Heat Press for heat setting
