Description What started as a quick tutorial turned out to be two page long. I hope you find this helpful. You don't necessarily have to credit me if you use it (although it's always nice) but I would love to see what you come up with using these techniques.

I've been getting a lot of comments about it not looking realistic. This isn't a tutorial to show you how to paint realistic hair, it is just to show the techniques I use for hair in my photo-manipulations.

I don't want realistic hair. I want pretty fantasy hair to go with the painterly look I'm going to be trying again and this looks like just what I need. I'm sorry people are being rude when you aren't even obligated to help us this way.

Thank you for the tutorial <3

So many rude comments in the comment section. It's obvious you weren't going for realism (not everything is supposed to be realistic). It's supposed to look pretty and fantasy-like. You did a great job! Β

The link to brushes is in the description under stock credits. You will need a graphic tablet to get the right effect.Β

What is the name of that kind of hairstyle? I've been looking around on the internet for a while and have been seeing styles similar to this and I just love them. I really want to know what it's called so I can start drawing styles like this!
