Block Hair? 3D in photoshop

[Milk 0]

I have a design that i did in photoshop with a 3d person's face, but the hair doesn't go with the character...it's all stringy and stuff.

I had posted the picture on a forum for critique and people said that the hair didn't fit...

The hair i have now is all stringy like a real person's hair. I want hair that is like this:

hmmm what you could do is cut-out an other 3d hair, and past it on your current model. Or just give her a hat

Hmm...there are 2 ways you can approach this. Method 1:Like Wassie said, you can model it in some 3D program, render as a pic and just take the hair and plop it on. Method 2:The form of artwork you are seeing is called cell shading. The purpose of cell shading is to get 2D things to look more 3D. Look for some tutorials for cell shading on the net, it takes some work but it will look uber crazy prettyness.<<<eerr, I don't know why I said that

What I do is I plop a blob of hair around and then get the colors right. After that, I take thin brushes and outline the fall of hair along the face. Then I go over it first with a dark brush to get shadows, and second with a light brush. This was one of the older ones I did with that technique - I have a better one with long hair on my dead computer.
