This is probably a bad idea since my last tutorial didn't go so well. ^^; Please remember that this is meant for beginners and I know I'm not an expert, I just wanted to share some tips I think would be helpful to those of you having trouble drawing semi-realistic hair. My examples aren't great (the hair came out fried-looking on the tips :P) but hopefully you understand how it's supposed to look. There are tons of other techniques; this is just the one I use. I use Photoshop 2.0 but this should work in any program. I hope some of you find this useful! :)

Thank you for all the favs and views guys, I really appreciate it!

This tutorial isn't particularly useful to me personally, because I paint in an entirely different style, but it's definitely a useful tutorial in general and I'm sure it'll be helpful to a lot of people :)
I wouldn't worry about stupid people who bash you for getting on the front page involuntarily. Seriously. You did not ask to have that last tutorial make it to the front page. I think people forget that the new system insures that the front page now has a lot more to do with diversity than "skill" (which is a debateable factor as it is) and that the artist has absolutely no control over whether their work shows up on the front page or not.
Keep up the good work and don't let people get you down <3

Wow, i can only imagine what caused you to have to make that foot note. However, as a beginner who has been trying ever so hard to sketch something nice on my ipad, that was awsome! Exactly the kind of simple technique that is helping me learn one step at a time. Many thanks.

Yay, I'm so happy to hear that! :) And yeah, last time I made a tutorial it made the front page and a lot of people argued about it. ^^;
