Alright, so it's not very informative, and it's not really a tutorial, really... but I've had a lot of people asking me how I shade hair, and so I did a little progress-type thing of how I do it. If it helps you, then good! If it doesn't, then... well, I wouldn't be surprised.

A good thing to remember when you're colouring hair is to use a light source while you're shading. Look at your hair in a mirror. It's not ridiculously shiny all over... so don't go mental with the highlights. A few subtle ones and lots of shade is more effective because it draws the highlights out through contrast.

=P

The portrait I'm working on there will be for sale after I am finished... let me know if any of you guys are interested in it.

This is in the wrong category but I have NO idea what category to submit it into... sooo, if it's moved, then oh well. =P I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM, SUE ME.

:D I'm glad you found it useful! I didn't really make it as a real tutorial as such, a few people just asked me what my process was.
