Description So... This is my first ever tutorial. I wasn't really planning on doing one but *Iseanna kept asking me to do one since she always thinks my hair looks amazing. xP So here it is. I hope that anyone who sees it can get something out of it. Lol.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.
Thank you!

Glad I could help. Hair is a tricky thing and it's taken me a while to get even somewhat comfortable with it. x3 Gotta do a lot of experimenting to figure out what works best with your style.

this looks like it would take a very long time for a full head of hair, but it seems helpful. Thanks!

Elerya In reply to the-pink-dragon [2012-12-09 04:49:40 +0000 UTC]

It does. It usually takes me a long while to get the whole head done but I have fun doing it.

MewMeriina In reply to ??? [2012-12-09 04:40:00 +0000 UTC]

Ahhhh! Thank you! This is so clear, concise and easy too follow!!! Does the reserve apply when dealing with black hair? That's what I'm really struggling with

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Elerya In reply to MewMeriina [2012-12-09 04:43:08 +0000 UTC]

Black hair is really tricky. I usually will do black hair as a dark brown and merge all my hair layers when I finish and try playing with the filters. hue, saturation, etc. That's probably the best advice I can give as I have yet to find a better way to do black hair myself.

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen - easy to follow, good pictures, and room to bend around a little bit (for non-sai users). Definitely going to try this

Thank you so much for posting this! I am curious, do you use a 1px brush for any size image your using or do you scale it up depending on the image size?
