HOW I COLOR HAIRby =xenthyl

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Application Reference / Paint Tool Sai

[link] <<<<< video process **different art, just same coloring style**

added a mini video process for how i color, about 7 minutes long, at 200% so it only took me 15 mins to do the whole thing, it shows how simple this technique is. hopefully it helps! ^_^

YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO POST THIS ANYWHERE, NO MATTER WHAT.

Brush setting found here : [link]

I use a Wacom Intuos 5 medium tablet and Easy Paint Tool SAI for this.

these are just a quick version of how i color hair. i only use TWO colors and a shine and all the steps are on the same layer.

All the coloring is done with the MARKER tool except the shine / lineart.

feel free to ask any questions, i will answer all of them.

Edit;
Before you go and tell me how useless this is, look at all the people that liked it. Clearly you may either just not get it, or just can't learn. Its not my fault. this technique is literally incredibly simple. I cant explain it in any less steps than this because this is all there is for how i color hair. If you dont understand, I am genuinely sorry. (=

edit2;
i did not make this to be popular AT ALL. i made this purely for a few of my watchers who had asked how i made my hair strokes and how i did it from dark to light, sorry if it bugs you that it got a few views, but if you're here just to hate on things that make it to a front page, please take your opinion elsewhere, I do not care about what page its on, it is for my friends. saying that, if it helped you, great. if not, that's nice too.

This was really useful 030 one question, what is your stabilizer/smoothing level?

=xenthyl Jan 5, 2013 Student Digital Artist

i usually keep stablizer high for lineart only, i normally color on like 2 or 3
i also have a cintiq tablet so controlling my strokes is a lot easier, i might suggest 4-7 for coloring if you have a regular tablet.
