Re: help please
OK here goes, are you ready? Start with the mid tones of the hair in long sweeping fine dagger strokes. Make sure to follow the pattern of the hair. don't worry if it looks flat at first, also don't fill in completely, I would say 70% coverage next move to the darkest tone in the hair concentrating on the darker areas and pulling some fine strokes through the lighter areas. Then do the same with a highlight mixture of your mid-tone and some tinting white and some blue but very little blue. the reason I say blue is her hair looks almost black and if you just use whit it will look gray. ( check out my panther in my photo gallery and you will understand ) Now go in with a mist of a mixture of brown, blue and violet to deepen the shadow areas and give more body to the hair. next mist over the high light areas with the highlight mixture and a little more white added. If the highlights appear to bright mist over with a little browns and blues whichever brings you closer to your reference. You can also mist in some violet to give more warmth to your browns. Just rememberer not to cover up all of you dagger strokes just in the darkest of areas. I hope this helps
