Step 26 – Hairs

For masking the hair, it’s better if you have a tablet, if you don’t you can try with your mouse and the pen tool. With a soft and round black brush, make hair strands. Remember to set the brush to pen pressure, also the brush size has to be 1px.

Make some more hair strands.

Step 27 – Hair

You have the base of the hair, so now you have to fill with more hair to give a natural look. In a new layer with a soft round brush (2px size) with a brown tone, (you can pick the same in the model’s original hair with the eyedropper tool) then start painting strands with undular movements keep the pressure really soft.

First, make big strands and then with different tones, make smaller highlights and shades to the hair, also you can apply some blur to the tips of the hair.

Step 28 – Shadow

    As the model in the stock being used, and having seen several versions other artists have created using this tutorial, it would be honestly very nice if artists trying to recreate the styling and theme would see if they can do the same thing using alternative stock – of which there are thousands available. The point of tutorials is to make suggestions and provide tips to artists looking to improve their techniques or learn new ones, not to make identical and in some cases poor reproductions of the work used in the tutorial. Change it up people!! :)

    This is really cool. I really like the idea; erasing a flag to make it look worn out.

    This makes me wonder if you can do it to clothes too. I never even think about making fabric look worn out, I just find worn out stocks which is hard to come by.
