I recently posted a couple of sketch portraits with a somewhat different approach to hair. Wallace suggested that I provide a document showing how I achieved these results. Well here it is, not a tutorial in itself, but a description of a technique; hopefully members will find it useful.

There are some key resources that I used included in the zip file.

As always I state that I am a poor proof reader of my publications, so if anybody finds errors or has questions please let me know.

Thank you so much for your tutorial, OMG. How nice of you to write your method to get that hairstyle you have created.

OMG
Thank you for taking the time to write this long tutorial.
I think I do not have the required level but I will look anyway.

Downloaded and ready to learn something new!

Thank you for your tutorial OMG, will test it out tuts are always interesting to go through.

I'll try this as soon as possible. My GIMP is acting up again. Will not load Gmic. Tried many things. May have to delete everything and start over!

Thankyou for this tutorial OMG, looking forward to the learning.

I love that brush dynamic. I'll make a lot of use of that!

Here's my first attempt with this tutorial.

Erisian - you just made my day; 2 days hard work in the garden and no Gimping then I see your result!
