Shading hair is one of my frustrations. There are so many beautiful styles out there that it's so hard to pick which one to follow because each one of them has it's own look that will not always follow rules in realism and such. I love your tutorial for that because the steps explains the proper way of handling shadows, and although my coloring style is not as sharp as this one, I know I can apply this to my style, as well. Thank you so much for sharing this!
My favorite part was the shadowed strands. It makes beautiful details without making the hair look like a line art mess!

Thanks! Sometimes the best method is to combine a variety of techniques. No two artists work the same, but we can learn from each other. :3

Strange method. I like it! Dunno if I'll be able to make it nice and crisp as yours though; I use my brush to outline drawings

This makes me want to get off my behind and finally learn how to shade and all that instead of just using flats. Great tutorial, and the picture itself is really well done, too!
