Everytime I posted an edit, people would say "Ooh! I love that hair!" or something along the lines of that. So I was thinking of making this tutorial. And it's finally here! whee
I use Photoshop CS2. Beware. xd
Step 1: Get a base. Name this layer "Base."
Step 2: Create a new layer called "Hair," and start with the outline of the hair with the pencil tool.
(I know it looks messy now, but it'll look better after. 3nodding )
Step 3: Use the fill bucket tool to... fill in the outline. Clean up any odd places you may see as well (if you find any).
Step 4: Next, we are going to add the strands.
Settings: Paintbrush Tool --> Linear Burn. 24% Opacity. The size for the brush is 1. From the split on the top of the hair, just use the Linear Burn to make the strands down the hair. smile
Step 5: Now, we take the Dodge Tool with whatever size you like, and set it to Highlights with the Exposure at 11. Start adding highlights wherever light normally hits.
Step 6: Keep your settings on the Dodge Tool, except instead to Highlights, set it to Shadows. Go over the areas you highlighted with the Shadows setting.
Step 7: Add anything you may have forgotten... and OMFGBBQ you're done. wink
I hope some of you found this tute useful. This edit was kind of rushed, so I apologize if it is a little on the "Meh..." side. razz
Oh, and you're more than welcome to show me your results! smile
