Description
So, I got bored the other day, and I decided to make a Half-Assed Hair (or as ~ToxicRini would put it, HAH) tutorial. This is basically how I draw semi-realistic digital hair with a mouse. So if I could do it this easily with a mouse, imagine how easy it would be with a tablet! ....Argh, I want to get a tablet. *is saving up for one*Anyway, please let me know if you found this tutorial to be helpful. :3

Glad you like it, but this tutorial is a bit outdated, so the technique here might be a bit obsolete. xD;
Just a warning.

Haha, I don't really care, non of the other tutorials I've seen that works with a mouse work for me.
I have yet to get a tablet (but I'm hoping to get one for my birthday) so I've been looking at everything that helps me out in anyway.

Alrighty then, good luck!
Also, here's a quick tip that I came across after writing this tutorial: Instead of selecting your hair layer to stay inside the lines, lock the layer's transparency instead. I'm not sure if you already knew this or not, but I figured I should cover all the bases just in case.

Nice work! I like the way you were able to make it look like the hair kind of wrapped around itself while it's in the air.

How is this half assed hair? Stoping at step two is a half assed job (like I do) This is AWESOME I'm going to use this. I've been wanting to find tutorials like this and your's is really easy to follow.

I really liked the result!
I'm going to use this no matter what, but will it affect the result of the hair that i'm a mouse-user?

Thanks!
It probably won't matter too much, because I use a mouse, too. xP

I tried using the HAH to color my latest pic, but I failed. I guess that HAH is forever going to mock me as a means of revenge for naming it so.

Well, it's "half-assed" when it's compared to when you draw every single strand of hair. TwT;;
