Tut. #1 Hair shading

Postby horsy1050 » Mon Jan 16, 2012 9:07 am

A short tutorial on how I shade hair. Not the best way, but a quick way of getting detail with doing it strand by strand.

Yes my hand writing is awefull. But if you can't read it I will gladly post it all here.

As I said this is my version of hair shading, so if "squiggles" look natural then I guess it's okay.

But rounded squiggles aren't really very realistic, even if you factor in shading. Zig zags are okay, but neither method really looks natural.

My tutorials are a guide, not a "you must do it this way" thing. So do whatever you want.
