Hi Aram,
I think that the style that you are doing this with is fine for the hair as well. If you look at the image, at least the size that you posted, it looks just fine. I don't know what it looks like up close so I can't give you any pointers that I might have to share. Perhaps post a 'study' of the image by zooming in on the hair and taking a screenshot of it so we can see it better THEN I/we may be able to advise you better on this area! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Hi Aram,
I am struggling through doing long flowing hair myself. Try drawing lines with a preasure profile, then convert the lines to shape. Do a fratcal fill and transparency on these shapes.
Richard got me started on the right road by giving us his tip on base, dark and hightlight hair color tip.
Richard, John, thanks a lot for the comments!!... I'll post a close up within minutes. I knew something about what you are talking about but thing is I can't really get it look natural, as from a 3D software, for instance. Right now I'm investigating and experimenting if I can actually export hair "props" from Poser 5 as vectors so we can paste it on XX and do the coloring, etc...
Anyway, the final thing is here... I think the head itself is a whole separate project http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Arum - thanks for sharing this project with us. I think the hair looks great as you've drawn it. What I note from the details is that the face seems to be drawn more photorealistic than the remainder of the drawing which has a more graphic style to it. I'm not sure if that difference is problematic or not. When I look at the overall image my eyes are drawn to the face -- that is probably as it should be and the highly realistic face no doubt has someting to do with achieving that focus.
