Description Part three of the color-Freya-to-completion tutorial, this time the hair! Click to view--again, it's a pretty big file (about 1 MB)

Again, check out the previous steps to figure out how we got here:

Part 1 [link] - cleaning up the sketch, coloring skin and eyes
Part 2 [link] - clothing and lace

And for a similar tutorial on hair, but in Painter...
Hair Tutorial for Painter [link]

Hopefully, this makes some sort of sense... Let me know if you need clarifications! ^^

Might it be so - you make the hair in different layers?

MeiNinja In reply to charmed2themaxs [2009-04-18 17:10:10 +0000 UTC]

Well.. Do you make layers?
Its much easier.. It allows you to ex. delete something i the one layer you made, and something else in another layer..
Very simple when you get to know how to do it ^-^
