How To: easy picture edits

This is how I did these posts:

edit 1 | edit 2 | photostory

I mostly edited the haircolour and added a necklace.

Hair edit below, necklace here!

@jackwolfskid here we go :D thx for asking me how I did these, I was itching to make a post anyway and you just gave me the perfect excuse 💕

First of all I know that in proper editing programmes like photoshop you can just select the hair area and chance a colour more naturally- this is for the low budget people like me.

I'm editing in the app 'Sketch' or 'Paint' depending on what phone you have.

I'll show you how I did the edit on the first picture as that one's more zoomed in, but I really did the same both times.

For this picture, I for some reason wanted it to be a bit longer so the hair wasn't cut off

So I took the smudge and just made it a bit longer, then the erase function to get rid of what smudges were now on the original picture, then smudge again to blur the line a little

Next, for the actual hair edit, you cover the entire area evenly in one colour- in Sketch, you can do that with the normal pen as long as you cover the entire area in one go, or just cover the entire pic with the paint bucket

In general I like to open a new layer for every part of the edit, then if you fuck up once you only have to delete that.

Next, you copy the haircolour layer a few times and see how transparent and in what shade you want to have them. Then, you take the eraser with the soft edges and leave only the actual hair covered. It's actually good to do that in each layer seperately instead of doing it once and multiplying that layer, as this way the edges will look a bit more natural

Next, you take the pen again, select what's now your base haircolour with the tool circled below, and, in hues lighter and darker than the original colour, draw in shadow and highlights. You can also hide the haircolour layer and follow the highlights and shadow on the original pic for this.

Apart from highlight and shadow, also draw some hair at the hairline and other edges to make it look more natural and less line one block. For that, you can just use the selected base colour.

Basically repeat this until it looks somewhat natural, you can also make layers more transparent when you for example notice that the highlights look more like the hair's streaked with grey than just light reflections.

And ta-da!

Necklace edit coming up in a mo'!

Necklace up here! For some reason the :readmore: doesn't work on all tumblr versions so maybe you'll have to scroll past the hair edit again first.

I've spent a lot of time thinking recently. Questioning myself and doubting my asexuality.

I think the generally heteronormative view of sex = penetration has massively contributed to me being kinda sex-repulsed. But we are aware that two people with vaginas are also capable of having sex, right? No penetration necessarily involved. So I've been thinking, maybe I'm not as repulsed by sex if it doesn't involve something having to go inside me. I'm definitely still asexual since I don't experience sexual attraction, but if I had a partner who wanted to do sex-ish stuff, I think I'd be okay with trying (after I'm comfortable enough with them of course). I'm also just kinda curious lmao
