Description Update 2015: Moved to my scrapbook as it is an old work.

THIS TUTORIAL HAS BEEN UPDATED! alamodepixels.deviantart.com/a… (See my new tutorial here!)


PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT HOW I SHADE HAIR ANYMORE! This tut is very outdated. I will add a new hair tutorial when I have the time.

My friend said to me last night:
"Kelly! Teach me how to shade!"

So I made a hair tutorial. I'll make other tutorials later, I guess. This was made in photoshop 7.0, but it can be done in other programs as well.

Will do. I plan to use the doll I make for an Avi for things like Facebook, my MSN IM and things like that. I'll send you a link when I do it and get it done. Thanks and your welcome.

I find it rather hard to do draw the hair..But it looks interesting compared to most ways of doing it..
I'll give it a shot!

Thanks!
