Step 1 : Get the base you want to use.

I got mine from www.dhaling.com.     

Say hi to Anna. She's already

dressed . She's quietly awaiting

her hair now.                  

Step 2. Let's start off with a base color. 

Here's a palette of  hair colors.               

Step 3: Make a new raster layer called hair.

Draw outline of hair...Leave the pigtails for later.

Flood fill it that color.

Step 4: Make highlights with the next two

colors in your palette.

Step 5: Okay the fun part. We're going to

shade with my favorite tool....................

the retouch tool! If you don't know what

it looks like it's the little hand...

Ok. Here's the settings I use.

Retouch mode: Darken RGB

Outline the part in hair and draw lines

from the part out. Like this:

Step 7: Okay for my second favorite

part....Highlighting. Use the same settings

and switch the retouch mode to Lighten

RGB. Just lighten it between dark spots.

Brush with sweeping motions. Like this:

Step 8: Ok now for the buns..

Draw buns on both side. Flood fill it the

darkest color. Highlight it like you did

before.

If you want, you can go over it with the retouch

tool again.

And finito! I hope you had fun on this tutorial.
