You're welcome! ^^ If you don't mind my asking, how did you do that? Did you download a brush, or smudge it a lot, or just draw a lot of lines, or what?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

omgOVER9000 In reply to ObsidianPyre [2012-01-01 20:53:05 +0000 UTC]

It's kinda hard to explain it hehe but I'll try...

I first fill in the base colour of the hair (yellow) then decide on 2 dark and 2 light colours. I draw loads of lines to show the direction of the hair using some colours, then use the others to show where the light is hitting the hair...It helps to imagine like the hair is made of ribbons rather than strands ^.^

When the lines and lighting looks right, I use the water tool (on SAI) and smudge it a little, but not enough to smudge away the texture (if that makes any sense lol) and then draw even MORE lines lol!
I actually made a tutorial just a couple of days ago for a friend, but I could upload it if it would be helpful ;D

Awesome, thank you! I don't have SAI, but this is helpful strategy advice anyways. Perhaps someday I'll actually be good at that sort of thing.

I think it would work for other art programs too It's my favourite method of shading since it's so easy! What do you have instead of SAI? I have GIMP, opencanvas and Paint.NET too but I haven't used them yet with my tablet ^.^

ObsidianPyre In reply to omgOVER9000 [2012-01-02 19:14:13 +0000 UTC]

I actually don't have ANYTHING right now, unless you count MS Paint. >_>; My last computer was stolen, and my new one doesn't have any of my old programs. Plus I no longer have the discs, and am too poor for the one I REALLY want - Photoshop. So it's traditional art all the way for me, until I save up enough or find a friend with an extra....

omgOVER9000 In reply to ObsidianPyre [2012-01-06 19:58:21 +0000 UTC]

Stolen? Oh no! I agree that photoshop is the dream - it's just so expensive!
Lol I prefer traditional art but my scanner kills colour so this way is much easier If you're desperate there are some free programs you can get, but I'm not sure if they'd be any good ^.^

ObsidianPyre In reply to omgOVER9000 [2012-01-07 20:44:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm much better at traditional than digital, but I really love a challenge and I want to improve! And yeah, I've heard of a few....I might try one if I get enough motivation....>>;
