My question is do you need to have great drawings skills when doing hair. Because i just got this new pen and tablet and i don't know what im doing.

Join the club lol., practise makes perfect. Dont give up after first 100 tries, 101 time you`ll draw photorealistic hair :) Tihomir

It depends on what you're good at. It can be hard, or easy enough to ask "Is that IT?". there're tutorials available, even specifically for photoshop, right here. part of what you'll need, I think, will be a moderate knowledge of your brushes, and what you can do with them. Lou.

you could try using Project Dogwaffle's particle brushes for fine hair, and import it into Photoshop Particle brushes have their merits for hair, grass, furr, even waterfalls and fireworks (animated)

I use antje brushes, well 1 brush to be precise, photoshop i think it the best to do hair in, I can't seem to get the pressure thing right in Paint shop pro and I haven't tried any other programme.

If you are looking for an easy tut, try mine, it's not totally realistic but my freebies down down well.

My rule basically is, 1 brush, 2 colours, 2 layers, burn and dodge, there is variations to that rule but that's mainly it. Also you don't need to go down the road of having every strand showing, look at someones hair, you can't see every single hair, just an impression of the texture so why paint it.

If you try, let me know how you get on :o)
