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.

Click on the Download File link on the top right corner to view the full tutorial.

It looks like you replaced photo hair with vector hair. Which isn't really in the sense of Photomanipulation.

It's good, really cool teh. But now it looks like dolls hair. Too plastic.

Precisely why I do photomanipulations and not hyper-realistic digital paintings.

wanKt [2012-08-31 17:57:39 +0000 UTC]

It looks so painted and unrealistic in comparison to the rest of the photo...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheDarkRayne In reply to wanKt [2012-08-31 18:05:31 +0000 UTC]

That is because it is not a complete photo-manipulation but only a tutorial to show how I do the hair in my photomanips.
