Description My way of painting manes. No smudging, no burning, no dodging! I used to do it with premade hair brushes some time ago, but as for now, I don't use any. I'm actually more satisfied of their outcome since I stopped to, so I thought that maybe I'll share what I came up with ^^ The brushes I described are easy to make 'at home', so I didn't include a brushpack [especially since one of them is 'stolen' from another artist ] If you want, just save those three as 'manebrushes' or something like that.

Another good thing when you're trying to shade your mane is playing with your own hair! Twirl them, stand at different angles to the light, observe how does it affect your hair, and try to compose your work based on that

Plus, a REALLY lazy way of general shading is merging the hair layers and playing with the curves (CRTL + M). Though personally I hardly ever use that

I'm not sure if there are any grammar or spelling errors... Sorry in advance Anyway I hope it's understandable.

Bezcenne *_*
Wielkie dzięki za tego tutka. Na pewno mi się przyda, choć wydaje mi się, że będę zbyt niecierpliwa, żeby narysować tylke cieniutkich włosów
W każdym razie, TA grzywa wygląda absolutnie wspaniale!

Tutaj aż tylu cieniutkich włosów się po prawdzie nie rysuje, całą 'bazę' światłocieniową dają te grubsze pędzle, i na ciemniejszych grzywach najczęściej jest tak, że robię kilka ciemniejszych pasm w miejscu cieni, a jaśniejszym kolorem tylko w tych miejscach gdzie grzywa powinna łapać światło, i na końcówkach
Cieszę się że mogłam jakoś pomóc

Moje metody się nie różnią niczym od dziesiątek innych tutoriali które już są na DA, więc nie bardzo rozumiem jaki miałoby to sens

KathyKnodoff In reply to horselover1036 [2010-02-15 22:14:38 +0000 UTC]

I'll try to when I find some time Right now though, my method is almost identical to the one shown here [link] - despite it's a manip tutorial, the rules of lighting are the same. So maybe this will do for now?
