well I used a specific brush in cs 6 , which might have been in cs 3 aswell The brush I use kind of simulates a real brush , you get to set the amount of bristles , their length and stiffness and even a cut off angle I'll screenshot my brush settings for you but I cant guarantee that you got this brush I could try to write a tutorial on painting hair like this , but as I jsut found out about this by experimenting and playing around with various brushes I odnt know wether I should really write a tutorial on that Edit : I altered the brush shape from angled to bend/rounded , and made this in about 5 minutes just a tiny sample , @@AngelModder I'd suggest using a tablet if you have one , I think it wont work that well with a mouse
