Hello, how are you? Could you show how you edit your Sims ' hair and muscles? I love your tumblr and your Instagram 😊❤
Hello there~! I am fine thank you for asking C: and sure sure, I’ll show how I edit hairs though because I don’t really edit muscles. It’s the matter of taking the picture in game XD
I used this hair brush (I know I’ve mentioned this million times XD but I really love this brush!) but bare in mind that I edit my sims using a tablet :> Also, I am not a professional as I am self-taught but this is just my way of editing/drawing hairs (≧◡≦) Let’s get started!
TOOLS USED: Hair Brush, Eraser, Eyedropper tool, Liquify.
First take a picture of your sim with a hair appropriate to be used as a based. Like mine below, I wanna draw a spiky haired guy so I used a hair by Ade as a base.
Then, erase the edge of the hair so that it allows you to draw and modify the current hair. I used 100% opacity with 0% brush hardness and ~30% of flow. But you can adjust these settings according to your own preference.
Once you’ve erased it, change it to the hair brush. Set the settings accordingly ( my opacity and flow varies as well as the brush size but the hardness is always set to full). Then, create a new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N) for you to draw the hair on. It is important when you draw the hair, always draw in one direction which otherwise would make your hair messy!
**Optional** Make a rough sketch of your desired hair! Make sure you do this on a new layer! I sometimes do this when I have no idea what kind of hair I want it to be but most of the time I just find a picture so that I can use it as a reference. Then, start by drawing a strand of hair first in the direction of your sim’s base hair. Use the eyedropper tool to match the colour of your sims hair so that it can blend well, you will use this alot as you progress through the editing. Since I want my sims hair to be spiky, I drew it upwards.
Then, in the same direction, add more strands of hair. To make your way through the end of your sim’s head…? XD
Sometimes I used the liquify tool to tweak the drawn hairs if the shape is off, but in this case I was happy with it so I don’t really use it XD So when, you’re happy with the hair, add finishing details such as shadow and highlights to the hair to give more depth and realistic look. I always do this using the same brush but the different opacity (depending on your preference). For shadowing, I used a black brush while for the highlight I just used a white brush. Make sure you do this on a new layer, incase you’ve messed up :3
And you’re done C: Hope you find this tutorial somewhat useful though~! Because I find it hard to explain just by screenshotting everything but all you need is practice and I am sure you’ll be able to draw even better than me XP
