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..

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

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 |

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
