Description You guys still seem to like this tutorial, but it's old and out of date so I apologise for that. Comments are now disabled, sorry!

I had an hour study period at school in which I had nothing to study and I couldn't work on commish without my notes (dA is banned at school for some dumbass reason), so I decided to make this... thing. The hair is particularly scruffy I think because it was produced within about an hour, and I just submitted this after checking the spellings and grammar at home (I bet there are still typos).

Anyway, this might provide a bit of insight into how I produce hair in my digital paintings. Yes, I know, I KNOW this is the trillionth hair tutorial on deviantART, but all I ever see are anime/manga style ones and I have never really found a tutorial for curly hair, so I figure someone out there might find this style useful. Maybe.

Oh yeah, and it's a big image. Watch out, those of you on slow connections.
Or rather, there's no need to watch out, but you might as well go and get a coffee whilst it loads or something.

There is now a part 2 here: [link]
And there is now a fur tutorial here: [link]

dA is blocked at my school too... because of "mature content." What mature content could they possibly be talking about?!?!?!! mature stuff has filters here; couldn't they just block those pages instead of the whole site?? although they do also block it because it technically has a chat section and that's banned too...school can be so stupid...

your tutorial rocks, though.

VSmaximus [2008-04-01 23:00:28 +0000 UTC]

Here's a hint for school: if you type in your account name like this -> [link] (username first) and go to it, it shouldn't be blocked. From there, sign in on that page. The site shouldn't be restricted so long as your logged on...I have no idea why.

Other than that, this tutorial looks really helpful. Can't wait to try it out.

my style juggles realism and cartoonism, so the line sometimes gets blurred for me. once I get the hang of this tutorial however, the transition should be much easier. thank you for sharing your wisdom.
