The dreads were a process, let me tell you. First, I blocked out the color, then took a hair brush and scribbled back and forth over them, then took a cloud tool on probably about 15% opacity and ran over them so that the individual lines didn't stick out too much. Lastly, I just went through with a basic line brush to add in all those stray hairs. And those are just the layers that made it to the end, there were a lot of layers playing around with it that got cut when I figured out how to make them look half-decent.
As always this entire piece looks amazing but holy cow the hair! You put so much detail into the dreadlocks! *-* What kind of a brush did you use while making all the little hairs?
