Description Ok, so I was really disappointed with my last airbrushing attempt and looked at a few hair tutorials because that was the part I hated the most. And since I'm a beginner I used a photo for reference and "line art" and colours, ect because I don't think I'm ready to start from scratch. The original was just a picture I found on google. You can fid it here: [link]
This wouldn't have turned out even half as good if it wasn't for the original, but even so I think I'm improving. Hopefully around the next holiday after school starts I'll be making some airbrush paintings from scratch.

Time: Approx 9 hours (cuz I'm slow)
Photoshop Elements 7
August 26-27

If there's anything you want to know just ask! I hope you like! FFVII FTW!!!

Oh! That'll be awesome too! I'll have to show my friend when you finally finish the Zack! She really likes him, and I think he's pretty handsome too - I bet he'll look great! Drawing the CG Cloud is soo intense, he's coming off the page with his hair and face. Can't wait for the next one!

thank so much for your comment! ^^ this was my first ever CG so I'm really glad it turned out well! And I won't be able to draw it until after Christmas because I have a few commissions, art trades and secret santas, but I promise that will be the first thing I work on after Christmas!

Very nice work. The skin stands out most to me in this picture, but you did a nice job on his hair, too. Because you mention wanting to improve, may I suggest a tutorial (if you haven't already seen it?)

CG Tutorial by Yumix

Good job, and keep drawing

Thanks. Yeah, this was only my 2nce time ever doing this type of airbrushing so the hair was a big fail. I don't think I'm too too bad on the skin though. I like doing things my own way but I guess a tutorial would help me speed up the learning process so I'll check it out And I'll always keep drawing
