.:Tool Shaded Doll - Hair:.by `Pyrochan-dolls

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

For those of you who are unsure what tool shaded digital dolling is, it is a cross between pixel dolling, and digital painting. Think of it a miniature digital painting if you will.

The gallery is under customisation -> dolls -> tool shading

This tutorial is a basic insight into how I work on my tool shaded dolls. The base is my own though you can use any base you wish to make your own dolls provided you use proper credit.

I will perhaps be doing other tool tutorials soon but I thought I'd start with hair. Knock yourselves out.

Feel free to note me or comment here with any dolls you may create where this has been useful.

...with dolls. Lots and lots of dolls.

I wish everyone was an artist. Then there'd be no fighting, just lots of painting.

I do more tooling than pixeling.

I'm fine with it tradiontally, but when it comes to digital painting and dolling, I don't get hair.
it just doesn't make sense,

try working in reverse, instead of drawing in the dark strands leaving the light free, like you would do with a pencil, start with a dark solid colour and draw in the lighter strands. It seems to work better this way with dolls.
