Edit 17.09.11: Oh my, a DD! :O That came as a massive surprise. Thanks a lot to ~tygeraddict for suggesting and ^shelldevil for featuring! Also to everyone who faved, looked and commented. =) I hope this comes in handy!

---

A quick little tutorial - in a ginormous file - of how I draw hair. Included are four basic hair types, as I couldn't think of anything else that wasn't a mix or a derivative of these four. Thanks to `OchreJelly for suggesting Spiky. ^^

The general idea here is that hair can be painted without painting actual hairs, and instead focusing on the overall structure/shape and individual strands/locks/spikes rather than hairs. It's not intended to be the One Way to paint hair or anything like that, but it's my favorite approach, so maybe someone else will find it useful, too. If anything, it's just faster than trying to get every single hair just right.

Okay, shutting up now. Go, read the tut. :D
