Description FINALLY! The Hair Tutorial!

Guys, it sucked somehow to make this, but you know, I do everything for you... well... almost everything ;D

As so many of you asked me to do this, I'd be REALLY happy to hear if this is actually helpful or just confusing as hell. Again, I love to see the results and give you feedback if you want to show them (;

I love how you worked in the highlights! I find too many digital hair tutorials stop before that point, and it just doesn't look right. Thank you!

I don't do equine manips anymore, but try desaturating the bottom layer of your horse, put a layer over that one and color it the way you like it, while putting the layer setting on "color"... if your shadows get lost, you can copy your bottom layer and put it on top of everything and on "multiply" and if you highlights get lost copy the bottom layer and put it on everything and on "highlight" or something similar. If this is too confusing () just try playing around with multiple layers and their settings, they can do a lot for you and eventually you'll find something that works for you (:

Btw, thank you very much^^

Lässt sich auch mit Photoshop gut bearbeiten. Die Technik lässt sich ja unabhängig von der Software anwenden, weil die Tools im Grunde die selben sind

this is great! i'll definitely seek the help of this tut next time i do manes and tails. i just started to add highlights and lowlights into my hair stuffs, and i still need a lot of practice. xD

saftkeks13 In reply to Befera [2012-10-13 21:27:04 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I'd love to see if it works for you! Practice is normal, and it never ends. I still practice. Everybody does. And it's going to be satisfying to compare old and new artworks and be satisfied about your progess

Für die Haare bin ich zu doof, mein PS mag mein Tablett nicht und in gimp siehts bei mir hinterher doof aus ...

saftkeks13 In reply to Aschentanz [2012-10-13 15:05:09 +0000 UTC]

Hö? Also... Die Kompatibilitätsprobleme sollte man mal lösen (können). Ist doch doof wenn du ein Tablet UND PS hast und trotzdem nichts geht weil die nicht miteinander spielen wollen.^^
Und Gimp... jaa... Ich benutze immer Gimp, ich finds eigentlich benutzerfreundlich. Sag Bescheid wenn ich dir irgendwie konkret helfen kann...

Aschentanz In reply to saftkeks13 [2012-10-13 15:12:35 +0000 UTC]

Bin ja auch mehr der Gimp-Mensch, aber da wirken die Pinsel-Brushes immer so ... ich sag mal hart, während man bei PS ja was einstellen soll, wenn man sowas zeichnet und einmal konnte ich das machen, aber nachdem ich dann das Tablett nicht mehr angeschlossen hatte und am nächsten wieder was versuchen wollte, konnte ich das wieder nicht einstellen und ich weiß nicht, woran es liegt.
Ich werds die Tage mal mit gimp nochmal versuchen, aber obs was wird ...

saftkeks13 In reply to Aschentanz [2012-10-13 15:51:04 +0000 UTC]

Also wie gesagt, das oben hab ich alles mit GIMP gemacht. Stimmt schon, da sind die Pinsel deutlich beschränkter... aber da kann man auch was einstellen, je nachdem welche Version du hast. Aber zumindest Transparenz, Größe, weiche oder harte Kante sind drin, je nach Tablet auch Varianz in der Größe oder Deckkraft.

This is what I made I used your tutorial, but not for everthing. My manipulation lacks epicness D: I just could never get it right.

saftkeks13 In reply to gurtagon [2012-10-14 09:15:12 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, thanks for sharing.^^ Well, epicness... comes with the unique idea and a story which you tell within your picture. That is the entire secret around my definition of epicness.

GOOD question, next question. Noo I'm kidding. Probably horse prepping as most people wanted to see that, too.
