I was wondering if you knew how people would edit their hair, I know they use a type of hair strands brush but I still don’t know how they draw it.. like this for example
I'm not entirely sure what other people use for their own hair editing, I can only speak to mine. I recommend reaching out directly to the creator (nerissach on IG in this pic) if you have questions about their specific style, because asking me how [insert Simmer here] edits is sort of like someone asking Picasso about Van Gogh's painting techniques!
A lot of people in this community unfortunately have been using AI apps to help them with hair editing and then sometimes painting extra strands, so it's hard for me to tell what she does. She definitely paints extra strands in though, likely in Procreate or Ibis Paint.
Personally, I draw all of my hair in Procreate using these brushes: https://sandrawintherart.gumroad.com/l/bebHE
I usually start from dark color to light (eyedropper tool on existing hair), bigger brush size to block out the hair first, then smaller size to draw the strands, using Thick Hair Brush #8 in that pack. Make sure to use a variety of color shades and not just 1 color or else the hair will look flat.
When I have the majority drawn, I like to add flyaways in a lighter color around the head.
In the brighter areas to add shine, I use a light color in Overlay with a soft brush to paint a glow, then blur it. Then in an Add layer I make a little squiggle over each Overlay section, blur it, and turn the opacity down. That's how I get my hair to look nice and shiny.
So basically: Block, Blend, Strands, Flyaways, Glow
It definitely takes practice and patience, so don't feel discouraged if it doesn't click right away. I recommend watching some YouTube tutorials on hair painting too. I do have one, but it's outdated and was for MM hair.
Hopefully this helps, but if you have further questions on my process, please let me know! <3
