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! ^^

asteria24 [2007-03-03 02:50:37 +0000 UTC]

Nice, should be very helpful once I either
-a. mutate my right hand so I can draw stuff with my mouse (but that means I won't be able to draw stuff on paper)
-b. use mind-altering drugs on my parents so they will get me a tablet (i'm broke )

...but until then, sorry I can't use the tutorial *cries* and my drawings will not have shinyshiny hair.

Thank you so much for the guide!
I heard Deviant was better than Sheezy, so I joined
And thanks to all of your tutorials I'm a master of Photoshop
BWAHAHAHA
I can't wait to start putting up my art...again...
@_@
But...
This tutorial is specified for a tablet, right?
So obviously the same can't follow if you only have a mouse...
Fabulous...
Anways, great tutorial thanx a bunch!

Oh, and don't look sad, Freya. Sure, you're the guinea pig of this tutorial; but, because of you, now my characters can have shiny hair, too!
