High-res photo Which one looks better? I made these last night and I guess you could call it my first real steps towards creating realistic hair in photoshop. Method #1 was made using a brush. (The easy way.) Method #2 involves using the burn and dodge tools on flat color. (The harder way.) I think method 2 looks more realistic, and so does my mom. But I like how method 1 looks smoother. Kinda like Justin Beiber’s hair, and that’ll be the only time Justin Beiber is ever mentioned on my blog. I attempted to try and combine the methods, but they don’t really work well together. =/ ~ Jay
