I'll try this later. Drawing in photoshop has been a disappointing for me, so I'm pretty open to suggestions. Well, expect for "Get an art tablet," because I already know about that.

Umm.. but how did you do the hair detail exactly?
(like the light and dark colors
Thank you so much!! <333 ^^

use a basic color, usually a darker shade for the background of the hair, then gradually highlight it with lighter colors with a thinner brush, blur the highlights so it blends. then add one more layer lighter high lights without bluring until it looks satisfactory.

Is there a specific way to get this effect without a tablet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Well, I doubt you can get far without a tablet, it is drawing after all. Though I have seen some amazing works done by just mouse (with dots and blocks of colors)... You do need a tablet for detail works.

Well, I guess. It's really just with detailing hair and patterning clothes that I'm having so much trouble with the the mouse. I've actually been looking for a tablet... or a tutorial that shows some good mouse techniques. Thanks for the tutorial.

I know that this reply is SO late. but, I know you can get the same effect with a mouse, it just will take you 889468923149236x as long.
If you look at [link] it was donw with a mouse, and look at how dandy that is.
