Artist's Comments

:star: See the final result of this work HERE!!! It's very different, 9 more hours have been involved on it to finish it : [link] :star:

I've been asked lots of times to do some tuts.... here's one of them, I'll do more when I have time ;)

It's not very realistic since the image has been painted very quickly (about 45 minutes) but it explains how to paint realistic hair if you take the time to add details as explained on the tut ;)

I hope that it can help :)

Have fun! :glomp:

------------------- PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------------

I've written "burn tool" instead of "dodge tool". The dodge tool is not necessary (I barely use it, I prefer avoiding to use it and paint the lighting manually usually) but it's a good way to obtain nice results very quickly and easily.
If you don't have the brushes already installed, you can add them by choosing them in photoshop library ;)
If you want to obtain realistic hair, 2 or 3 hours of work are necessary (I usually spend 3 hours on the hair, I've only spent 25mn for the tut and 20mn on the face so it doesn't show how far you can go using this method) ;)

Neat! It's always cool to see how one person does something difficult themselves, such as painting hair or whatever. I don't like the burn tool, though. I think color and lightness should be applied manually...

But, that's my own stigmal nonsense.

Thanks :) I don't usually use the burn tool but it's a good way to obtain shiny things quickly.
I always paint everything manually but I've added the burn tool thing here to show another option that can be used ;)

Doesn't the burn tool make things darker and the dodge tool lighten them up?
