So would you suggest I try texturing the hair in the same way as I did for the beard? My feeling is that it would look too much like one solid block of colour from a distance, which was what I was NOT trying to do when I did that hair.
Redid my hair again, and faded it around the edges a bit so some of the skin shows through Still need to fix up my mask on it a bit on the edges in places
I'm wanting the hair to have a slicked back look, but this might just look to similar to what I had before I thought of another way of making the hair though; using the paths tool to make all the strands and make a stroke path from it with a brush, and then fill in the gaps under it with either more paths, or some other form of texturing.
That's the sort of look I have planned for it. I found some hair brushes, but they are more tablet aimed, so I might try to make one based off of some I saw and play around with the Brush Dynamics to get the desired effect
Hmm, I'll browse a bit on deviant art, as gimp does have a massive list of brush dynamics that affect the brush depending how I move my mouse, but most are designed with a tablet in mind, as I can't seem to get some to work
Thanks! Could you send me that brush, or one online which is similar? I use gimp, and the default brushes are quite limited in range, but I can install and use PS ones
Had an attempt at hair, not sure how good it looks tbh, it's hard when my monitor has loads of vertical lines going up the display. I've also textured the eyes now, (was an edited base one before) and given him a small beard. I've decided to make him a red head
Been working on and off this for the last few weekends, following Pig Brain's tutorial The hair is untextured, except for the ponytail which @Ëkvas kindly frankensteined onto this model for me
I ended up having multiple attempts at my scribbles, added some bluring, layered them over each other and did some rotation and smudging here and there. Sort of similar to what you did on his beard, only I had more than one set of drawings for it
