So it's been a minute since the last tutorial I did. Figured it was time for another one

It actually took longer to put together than it did to draw the tail. Very easy.
The brushes used are shown and linked below.

Step 1: Block in the main portion of hair. Don't worry about it being perfect since you can fix it later.
Step 2: Do the basic shading and highlights. No major details just yet. For you gimp users, just start at a lower opacity. As the colors get lighter, lower the brush opacity.
Step 3: Use a small soft brush do draw in some single strands and fly-aways. Again, adjust the brush opacity with the lighter colors.
Step 4: Use the single strands to sharpen your highlights. Use the bigger brush to blend a bit. Don't overdo it though.
Step 5: Use the Dodge and Burn Tools to add more contrast.
Step 6: Using the last 3 brushes, just add a few finishing touches.

Brushes Used:
2 are standard PS brushes
