Getting Started...
Step 1.
I am only going to show the basics here. I will start off by showing you how to get the strands and look I create with my hair. I suggest you practice with strands like this before you try anything to difficult.
I am going to apply some strands to this white background.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 2.
Choosing the color I will be working with. This is not really important because with my method, you can change the hair color at the end of the tutorial.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 3.
Grab the hair brush you will be working with and size it down to your choosing.
Hair Brushes can be downloaded here - CLICK FOR BRUSHES
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 4.
I have selected the "PATHS" tool in the toolbox on the top left. I will make a "S" Shape on the white background for the stroke of the Hair.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 5.
Now click "Stroke Path" and make sure you have the option "Stoke with a Paint tool" and "Emulate brush dynamics" selected. These are both very important or your strokes will NOT look like mine.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 6.
You should now have a smooth stroke of hair strands. If you got something with a bunch of dots, this means your spacing is not set to 1.0 as seen in the bottom right of the paint brush box.
Go on ahead and stroke the brush a couple more times to thicken it up a bit.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 7.
Now I will ADD NEW LAYER and select a tad lighter shade of hair color.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 8.
I have now applied a few more strands of the lighter shade of hair on top of our original strands.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 9.
ADD NEW LAYER > Select another lighter shade of hair. We will now be applying another layer of strands on top of the bottom two layers you just applied.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 10.
This is what I have now...
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 11.
ADD NEW LAYER > I will be applying one last set of strands. So once again grab a tad lighter shade of hair.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 12.
I Will apply one set of strands on top of the bottom 3 layers. You should now see it coming together nicely and the hair has some depth.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 13.
"Merger all visible layers". This will make all the hair layers into ONE LAYER.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 14.
COLOR CHANGING TIME! I really like playing with purple hue colored hair just for the fun of it. I think the high lights on maroon/purple hair looks good and something a lil different.
I will play with the color hues until I find something I like.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 15.
NOW DUPLICATE YOUR LAYER
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 16.
In the layers box you will see a drop down box next to "MODE" and on the top layer you will change it to "OVERLAY"
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 17.
Adding SHINE! Shine is VERY important when creating hair and no you should not have white blobs of shine, You should make the hair shine looks realistic and it should blend well into the hair. So I have 2 different ways I shine hair. First being with the dodge tool set to "Highlight" and you MUST use a fuzzy circle brush and DAB IT when applying the shine. OR the second way which is pretty common for A LOT of hair drawers and this is the "Overlay" option.
So ADD NEW LAYER > Grab your fuzzy circle brush and apply some white paint on top of the hair where the shine should be. Now go to the overlay option again and select it.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Step 18.
Gaussian Blur! This will blur out the high lights you just applied so they are not too chunky and they fade out over the hair nice and smooth.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
You are done!

Personally I like the second one better (except for the wierd extra bits that I haven't erased :
those look good pearl I would recommend trying to do some of the strands with diff size brushes just so the strands don't look too repetitive.

Oh i thought I had mentioned to you to make sure you have the emulate box checked when using the paths tool. Some of the ends looked a but choppy.

Yeah I had that on. Maybe my brush stroke settings need to be changed. But you saw the newer one I did right? The black one? That one I had the emulate on, the brown one I didn't.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see it now That looks much better.
I would burn it a little more to tame down the grey hairs and then just dodge the where the shine should be

Mine really sucks. I've downloaded GIMP, worked for the first time with version 2.
And it sucks because I don't have good hair brushes, I hate that. Has someone a link to a good hair brush :seen:
Anyway, heres mine:

How I did it was right, just the brush is sucking.
O, and this is really an awesome tutorial Bliss! This is really the first one I understand without the Google Translater. I'd love this tutorial, that's something better to say =D

@Gloria - yes it is. When using it you have to size it down to look 0.10 or 0.20 and put the spacing all the way down too

I think it went pretty well! Thanks for the awesome tut Bliss!
Thoughts? (I know the outside strands are a bit screwed up, but aside from that )

these hair drawings are really looking great guys :D Im soo happy you guys like my tutorial
As for the spacing of the brushes, you need to size the spacing down all the way when you select the brush you want to use. This will eliminate the spotty look

I think you have it down, I would only suggest a tad smaller on the strands

My only suggestion here is to burn the strands a lil more and burn the areas that should be darker then add the shine

Wish I could do this, but someone has PSE6, which doesn't have the pen tool. Someone's also too lazy to download Gimp XD
