IK THERE IS A HUGE HYPE AND WAIT FOR THE TEAR TUT BUT I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS ONE SO HERE IT IS...

THIS ONE IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO THINK OR AT ONE POINT THOUGHT
"I CANT PAINT HAIR HAIR CAUSE I DONT HAVE PHOTOSHOP"

1. TAKE AN AIRBRUSH; SMALL SIZE AND FULL OPACITY. DRAW THE SHAPE OF YOUR HAIR WITH A DARK COLOR; I PREFER USING BLUE; NOW IF YOU WANT BLONDE HAIR OR GREEN, IT DOESNT MATTER USE ANY DARK COLOR BUT AVOID BLACK.

2. IF YOU WANT A FIXED HAIR LENGTH THEN LEAVE THE ENDS EMPTY IF NOT THEN YOU CAN SIMPLY COLOR THE WHOLE FIG. LIKE I DID; DONT BOTHER TO STAY WITHIN THE LINES BUT AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAIN THE BASIC SHAPE YOU CHOSE.

3. ON A NEW LAYER WITH A LIL LIGHTER SHADE IF THE SAME COLOR SHADE SOME PARTS OF THE HAIR AS SHOWN BELOW; USE AN AIR BRUSH ONLY.

I SHADED THE TOP AND BOTTOM BUT YOU CAN MAKE STRIPES OR SHADE THE MIDDLE OR THE RIGHT HALF WHERE THE LIGHT HITS....BASICALLY DO WHAT YOU WANT.

4. TAKE THE SMUDGE TOOL; HAIR BRUSH CHOOSE THE SIZE AND OPACITY (70-80)

SMUDGE THE LIGHTER COLOR INWARDLY; LIKE THE THE UPPER HALF TOWARDS THE BOTTOM AND THE BOTTOM UPWARD.

IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY IN THE ABOVE PIC YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE BTWN THE TOP (SMUDGED) AND BOTTOM (NOT SMUDGED.

5. ANOTHER LAYER AND A STILL LIGHTER COLOR REPEAT THE SAME; SHADE AND SMUDGE INWARD. MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE PREVIOUS COLORS ARE VISIBLE DONT END UP COVERING THE PREVIOUS LAYER.

6. NEW LAYER; YET A LIGHTER SHADE AND A OIL HAIRBRUSH THIS TIME WITH SIZE 3  OR 4 DRAW LOMG STRANDS MAKE SOME GO OUT ON PURPOAE CAUSE WELL ITS HAIR REMEMBER AND THEY ARE NEVER PARRALEL STARANDS UNLESS YES YOU ARE DRAWING BARBIE THAT IS.

YOU MAY KEEP THIS LAYER ON YOP OR PLACE IT BEREEN THE SHADED N SMUDGED LAYERS WE CREATED BEFORE THIS.

7. REPEAT THE ABOVE WITH YET ANOTHER LIGHT SHADE OF THE SAME COLOR YOU MAY DECEASE THE SIZE A BY 1 ON THIS. DO NOT DROP BELOW 2.

YOU CAN KEEP LIGHTNING THE SHADE AND GO ON AN DIFFERENT LAYERS FOR AS LONG AS YOU LIKE BUT I PERSONALLY LIKE TO STICK TO THREE; THREE SHADES OF SMUDGED BASE AND THREE SHADES OF FINE STRANDS. I PLACE THEM ALTERNATELY.

8. SMAE SMUDGE TOOL SETTINGS BUT OPACITY 30-45 SMUDGE DOWN THE STRANDS TRY NOT TO MESS IT UP; THEY SHOULD GET BLENDED IN A WAY THAT THEY LOOK LIKE THICK STRANDS/LOCKS SEPARATE AND THICK (SEE ABOVE)

9. NOW CHOOSE A BEIGHT SHADE IF THE COLOR; NOT STARTLING BRIGHT BUT VISIBLE BRIGHT AND REDRAW THE STRANDS ON A FRESH LAYER WITH SIZE 2.

10. CHOOSE THE DARKEST SHADE CLOSE TO BKACK BUT NOT BLACK; AND DRAW ON A NEW LAYER AT THE VERY TOP TO GIVE IT DEPTH.

11. ADD ANOTHER LAYER BELOW THE STEP10 LAYER NAD WITH A BRIGHT CLOSER TO WHITE BUT NOT VERY CLOSE AND HIGHLIGHT SOME PARTS. NO NEED OF LONG STRANDS JUST LIGHT REFLECTIONS.

KEEP ADDIND DARK AND LUGHT LINES UNTUL YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH YOUR WORK.

12. NOW MERGE ALL THE LAYERS AND ADJUST HUE SATURATION AND LIGHTNESS.

FUNNY OBSERVATION: WHEN I MAKE VOLORED HAIR THEY ALWAYS LOOK MORE REALISTIC IN NATURAL HAIR COLORS AND WHEN I MAKE THE ENTIRE THING WITH SHADEA OF BROWN IT TENDS TO LOOK BETTER IN COLORS.

PS: YOU MAY MAKE ONE LOCK AND DUPLICARE IT ON YOUR MODEL (PREFERRED TECHNIQUE IF ITS CLOSE UP) OR USE THIS TECHNIQUE BUT THE SHAPE YOU START WITH SHOULD BE THE OUTLINE OF THE ENTIRE HAIR SHAOE AND NOT ONE LOCK. (PREFFERED IN CASE ITS A DISTANT SHOT OF PIC U ARE USING)

I'LL ADD EXAMPLES YOM; REAL SLEEP RN.....GN:)
