First please be aware that this is how I have been recently been painting hair. I have tried many different methods and this is what worked the best for me. Also be aware that the outcome can look a bit 'cartoony' or 'blocky' if not done right. If you are having these problems try adding more shades of color or by lightening or darkening the highlights. If you have any questions/problems feel free to ask.

If you use this tutorial, please send me a link to your work, as I'd love to see it.

I do hope the spelling and grammar is ok, as I have always sucked at it.

At this point I haven't been able to figure out how to make a preview image without a .zip file. I have seen many other tutorials that have a preview image and then in full view it is the full sized tutorial that is still in .jpg format. If anyone knows how to do that please let me know and I will change it. But for now to view tutorial hit download and upzip the file.

Also in next issue of Collective Consciousness made by *Ondeon will feature a full step by step painting tutorial made by me where will detail how I paint a picture from start to finish. It will also include a never before seen painting I have done just for it!

Please beware that my Byakuya fangirl showed through while making this.
