Hair painting tutorial

by Diane in Tutorials

This is a tutorial which explains my technique to paint hair.

I've made some mistakes writing it : it's the "dodge tool" instead of the "burn tool".
You can also use a round soft edged brush with opacity and shape set to pen pressure to place the first strands or hair, then start detailing them :)
The image on the tutorial is the first stage of my "Dreamcatcher" painting, so you can see how it can look after having worked enough on it :)
I hope it can be helpful!

    Ok.. i kinda used that to "paint" hairs in Blue.Glow but... opacity was kinda killing me ~ Soo i wanted to know.. do you actually change opacity/flow during the time you paint or at 100% both all the time ? Cause its kinda hard to control opacity with only pen pressure.. even more when you only need a little fading ~

    i know silly question hehe... thats why i don't paint.. im bad haha ~ peace

      I paint at 100 % all the time, but I'm very soft when I use the pen... You can change the pen settings to make it harder :)
      It's really a matter of practise, I used to do awful hair at the beginning ^^
