Just something I whipped up, sorry if it's not useful at all OTL I still have alot of learning to do but I figured someone could take these tips and do it better than me o u o

Incase you can't read my chicken scratch writing...

A quick and easy way to get hair looking supah cool,
awwww yeeeah.

1 Soooo, step wun! Sketch and line your image, then pick whatever colour and do a base coat.

2 This part can really decide how good it looks. Pick a darker shade- but try not to just do the typical "add black" thing.
Example...

-les examples-

It just makes it look more healthy and colourful. Do some shading on the bottoms...

3 KAY! This is the fun part, but you really need to pay attention to the hair flow~
Starting at the part, make downward strokes like shown.

4 This part I always screw up, so I suggest you duplicate the layer so you can go back just incase. o u o
Basically you shade each line- on one side. Otherwise it's all blurry and messy.

5 Almost done! Now take whatever your watercolour brush is called and do a bit of lightening on each section...

6 And then the highlights o u o

--

Made in Corel Painted, but will work with basically anything.

I think this is really useful!
I liked what you did with shading the lines etc. because that can help people to actually follow the flow of the hair! I think it's also a good way to make people think about the way hair acts: strands sticking together and not every hair on it's own! C:
But please also remember that sometimes exactly that happens... :giggle: and try to draw the hair a bit more loose, kay?
The way you composed the tutorial is good, not using a lot of colours for the writing and the background. It looks nice and colourful without distracting to much from the text and pictures.
