Help with Hair
 

Hi!
I suck at making hair, and i would like to ask if you guys could give me some tips. Here is an example, the hair looks ****ty at the bottom:

How could i avoid that spreading effect? I dont get it lol

I like it how it is, I suck at hair to lol.

I'm not the greatest at hair, but I found while looking through PC files various styles of 'hair'. On the certain server the element of hats is replaced by different types of hair. It just helped me get an outline for various heads :)! The graphics are attached below but they are NOT my creation so please do not claim them for yourself..

I can't do hair either. Well not from scratch anyways. :(

Here's a tutorial. It's for making realistic/high quality hair in photoshop, but you can follow the same principles. http://gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/how_to_draw_human_hair.php

Edit:fixed link, I failed at typing out the URL code myself

hair is always a bitch to make

No, it just takes time :)

Attachment 3140 I usually like going a diagonal of the hair, but that's just me.

Lol those elephant ears make me laugh every time I see 'em. :P

Lol it gets annoying seeing them all the time. I'm used to it though.

I think the hair is great as it is. Perhaps downsize the ears though lol.

Hope this helps, I left the color template.. I made it more messy... If I understood you right, the shading makes the strands of hair more defined.. not just "straight down".. I also suggest you take a closer look with.. 1250% zoom? xD

lol, the graal ears look ugly if you look at them, but if you look at the characters face they dont :D
Thanks for your edits, i think xertics one is the most realistic, but the shading of alex one is nice!:)

Oh, I just go for the anime.. I'm kind of a weaboo o-o

I see your problem. When you make hair slick and thin, it becomes rough and confusing to draw on the edges. In my edit I gave it a few pixels more of volume on the sides on top and let the hair fall uneven and a bit messy. This guy looks like a kung fu master so we can't expect his kungfu hair to be symmetrically perfect o3o
