Description
Back in 2007, I posted a visual hair tutorial and I feel horrible about it. I feel bad because it's outdated, pretty ugly and has over 7000 views. I'm deeply sorry.To redeem myself, I created last night a brand new tutorial that shows how to paint semi-realistic hair. To achieve realism, or at least a higher level of completion, you would simply need to add more detail to the hair. This particular hair took me about 15 minutes to do.
If you have any questions or feedback, leave a comment and I'll do my best to get back to you.

EDIT: Wow, just noticed that this tutorial has made it to the first page of popular images for June 6. Amazing. Thanks guys! I'm glad you like it and find it useful

nice tut! this more or less the same that how i use to draw hair except i also use sharpen in some part to make the hair look contrast...
nice job!

Thanks. Sharpening is a good idea too but then you gotta make sure the rest of your character also has sharp features, or at least areas that are sharper than others to keep the style and balance it out.

yeah ur absolutely right sharpening can be good as long it used proportionally and balanced
btw thanks for the input

Holy... only 15 minutes?
This would take me hours. Then again, I am no professional with digital painting and Drawing tablets.

You've got a nice gallery I must say and I'm sure that with practice, you'll achieve similar results just as fast

Thank you. I am doing my best to learn to control my drawing tablet... It is surprisingly hard to make nice lineart with it.
But as said, thanks for the cheer up :3
