Got a lot of comments, requests, demands (?) asking me to do the tutorial ( especially for the hair part)

But because of my poor Eng, I had no confident to do. Then some of you suggested me that I don't have to explain much, just crop and paste to show my working processes is also okay.

So I tried, and here's how it turned out!!!

Usually, I have so many coloring styles. For this time, I chose to begin with the most basic one so I hope everyone can understand it easily. (and not too hard for me to describe )

Hope this can help, and sorry if my Eng confused you.

Please feel free to give me the comment, suggestion or question, etc you want to ^^

Thanks so much for viewing!!! m (_ _) m

FAQ

Q : Is this all done on the same layer?
A : Yes. I just changed the layer properties from Multiply to Normal layer later.

Q : I would like to ask what kind of setting do you have your brushes on? or are there any special brushes that you use?
A : No any special brushes, I think it's the default brushes which came with Photoshop ^^

Q : Did you used smudge on the hair to make it looks smooth??
A : Sometimes, but for this pic, I didn't. I used two type of brushes to weigh the shading instead.

Q : Why do you do everything on the same layer?
A : Because the RAM of my comp is not very high, and it will be very slow, if I use too many layers
Anyway, for this pic, I had no need to use, just only one layer was enough.And it's also my style to color in this way.

Q : What does multiply do?
A : The Multiply layer will help you to see the direction of the hair from the pencil lineart when you shaded it at first.

In your tutorial you have a picture of the brush window. The ends look smoothed out- is that only in the CS versions of photoshop? :C I keep trying to find those brushes, or at least which program they are in, but I can never find them D:
