I absolutely love this picture! :3
Hair is great, and, well, it looks like hair.
How do you color the skin? I have no idea how to use Photoshop (which is why I use Sai instead) but if I can even make it halfway as good as this in photoshop I'll be very happy!
Also, thank you for the advice you left on my Lightning picture. It helped a lot!

Hehe, I used to think like you when I first look at other artist's realism artworks. Sometimes, to the extend of saying "will never reach to that level" even looking at good anime/manga drawings. But here am I. No doubt I'm kinda slow and still there lots of thing to learn, at least I feel glad that y'all treated me like professional artist. So, I must say, it's all matter of time.
Okay, basically when you play around with opacity, you must also play around with the Brush Mode. Combination of both can generate gradient which very essential for realism drawing. Take example, you make a box with orange color as fill. You change the Brush Mode to Multiply and set opacity to 10%. Color pick the same color as the box and then brush over it. You will see darker orange, right? The higher the opacity, the darker the color becomes.
Another usage of opacity is this. Take example, you color the left side is orange and the right side is brown. You will see an 'obvious' border line to separate both color right? So color pick (either brown or orange)and set opacity about 50% and then color on the border. Repeat the same process for each border (while adjusting percentage of opacity) until you see there is no clear border but rather a seamless gradient from orange to brown. Make sure during the process you keep picking the color adjacent to the border.
For first time, it may seem difficult but after a few trial and errors, I'm sure you'll know how they worked and you'll become use to it.

LOL. Thanks for thinking that I'm already professional. I never knew that I have reached till that people recognize me as this level. Don't worry, I don't mind dropping by to give some comment but not harsh one cause I personally don't like it if people do that to me. My type is more encouraging remark and some advices.
Multiply part of the function I used and there's more. You can use Screen for lighter tone, Overlay/ Soft Color/ Hard Color for color intensity etc, all depending on what kind of tone you wanted it to be. In fact, I use more on Dodge Tool and Burn Tool. 3 Mode in both tool: Shadow, Midtone and Highlight. The best effect is Dodge Tool with Highlight mode. Very good for metal rendering or something shining. I also often replace Multiply function with Burn Tool/ Midtone
If you ask me what are the difference... here's the catch. Create a New Layer and use whichever color (let say orange) and brushes the new layer with feathered brush as big as you want. You will see the edge feathered right? Let say you want to darken the tone but you want to retain the exact shape. What you do is Select Transparency and then lay over the Multiply brush, right? When you deselect, you will see the middle part is darken but the feathered area is still the same color, which look extremely horrible. But with Burn tool, you don't need to Select Transparency. Just lay the brush on it, and it will darken the area even the feathered one. That's the advantage part.
By the way, I used Wacom Graphire 4, I think this version is before Bamboo. What's yours?
