Description This is my half of the tutorial trade with
She promised me that she would teach me how to draw males ^_^

This is a photoshop tutorial on how I color hair. I'm not saying that this is the way you should do it. Just how I do it. The tutorial was created with the basis that the user already knows a lot about photoshop and can navigate it smoothly. It really helps if you have a tablet in order to do this. However, you can still color with a mouse (you'll just feel like killing yourself at the end).

I use a 4x5 Wacom Graphire 4. It gets the job done. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a tablet.

Wow, I just noticed that I broke my regular single digit favorites with this tutorial. Thanks guys!

I'm taking this so i color too!!! And yes I agree, coloring with a mouse gets very annoying after five mintues -.- Now as soon as I get paid I can save up for a PS2 and a tablet ^_^ and my own version of Adobe products.
