Sorry for the long wait, the hair took a lot longer than I thought it would. I have also been really busy these past few days only leaving me about an hour to work.
After using this new method of working on the hair, I don't know if the look is worth the total time it took to create it. I think the best way would be a combination of my old method and this new one. Since my old method is much faster, I would use that for a majority and just do a few spots of the new method. I will have to do some test later to compare time and quality.
Long hair is still very perplexing to me. It took me a while till I could actually figure out how the hair was working and what needed to happen in order for it to feel correct. I got the hair to a point and then decided to do a paint over to match the feel I wanted. Here was my first attempt.
And here was the paint over.
So I liked the feel I was getting, except the bottom half of the hair had way too much volume. Mostly due to the fact that I had all of the hair coming over the shoulder. Also, I still did not have the same hair style that I was trying to replicate.
So I tried pulling some of the hair off of her shoulder and putting it over her back. I ended up with this result which made sense realistically, but it wasn't the same as my reference.
After looking at the reference images I have, I finally noticed that the model has her hair cut short on her left side and it gradually lengthens as it moves to the right side.
Finally, I came up with this result.
I am pretty happy with the result, I just want to make a few corrections here and there. I still need to add stray strands of hair to add to the realism of the hair. I also need to adjust the eyebrows because they are too short right now. Overall though, I think it's pretty close to done.
Sorry for the long wait, hopefully I can get back to normal updates. Once again, thanks for reading and I hope you look forward to the next one.
