Coloring, Shading and Highlighting Hair On a Manga Scan or Line Art

Part 3 in my series.
This time hair!

It will take you through doing the base color, even selecting the hair first and how to work with that.
Shading and highlighting and where to put them.
And how to flatten the layers together.

Even adding that fancy hair shine!

Done in Photoshop CS4

I do not own the picture used

pretty good but u do so much to select the hair all you have to do is ctrl click on the layer and it selects everything on that layer- much easier

[Gerbil12690]

@jimmoy1995 It's faster not to do that for me cause for some reason if I do it that way it comes out fuzzy. Possibly just the settings and my pc but still really annoying lol

don't take offense here:

but i cant tell if you're a girl with braces, or a little boy...

@silverraine12345 Girl with a bad stutter

[silverraine12345]

@Gerbil12690 I didnt hear the stutter, you just sounded 'really' young, consequently, younger boys have younger girlyish voices. Some people just sound really young though. My twin sister sounds like she is 10 if you hear her on the phone.

@silverraine12345 I get that alot. I'm turning 21 in late Jan :3 My stutter makes me talk a bit funny just to get the words out is why I mentioned it lol

[RoyalUsher]

[jimmoy1995]

@Gerbil12690 oh fair enough if i do ur way it selects random areas of white so must be the pictures or something
