Description Here's a little tutorial for my hair shading! cx
Easy step by step tutorial. :3

YOU MUST: Credit me every time used, Fave this, and please comment what you made with it <3

LEST BEGIN! (only one tool used, Binary, Program: Painttoolsai)
1. Start out with flat coloring!
2. Make a new layer above the layer you have for the base color, set it to Multiply, and drag it in a curved motion. turn the opacity down to your liking.
3. Same as 2. but lower down and darker color. (Make new layer/ set to multiply)
4. same as 3. but lower down and darker color. (make new layer/ set to multiply)
5. Make a new layer/ set to multiply, use brush size 1 on binary tool, and kinda line our where you thing shadows would be.
6. Make a new layer/ set to multiply, same brush size, and line some more place that would need more shadows.
7. Make a new layer/ set to screen, same brush size, take a light color, and line areas where light would hit the most.
8. Make a new layer/ set to screen, take the same color, and take a bigger brush size and make a curved motion where light would hit the most.
9. I like to add little dots off light yellow, on the setting Luminosity with size 1 on my airbrush tool.
10. Color your outline, and you're done!
