Val, you've done it again. You are truly a master - of this prg and of your talents.
i am guessing that the ovals in the hair region are filled with fractal plasma???
is this correct???

I would keep everyone guessing to make them try and see if the can make head and hair the same way. That's what I am now going to try and thanks again for giving me a challenge and it again underlines how much I stll don't know. 5*

Thanks for your good words. I started this picture just after I`ve done previous picture I used ellipses. I have spent 2 or maybe more hours a day during a week to draw it. I had no clear plan how to do it and found decision wile be drawing.

I bring from the past the idea that then less shapes then better. So I try to use maximum tools in every object. So in hair I used Fractal clouds fill , Fractal clouds transparency and size of feather region.

Risto, you was absolutely right, when was not sure about my dancing talents.

I`d like to demonstrate how many ways we can to use this two tools for reach result .

Hmm all of that is nice, but do you have her phonenumber for me.

After sweating the problem for several hours I had one of those flashes of insight and saw how it is done.

Here is my first attempt - clearly no where near Russ's skill but it demonstartes that I am on the right path.

It's brilliant in its simplicity!!! The knack is to match the adjacent blend angle and fill. I could never have hit on this technigue on my own.

It seems to me that more interesting is using fill tool in this part.

Every once in a while someone will show you a new technique using a tool that you thought you knew inside out. This image is not only amazing in it's own right as a drawing but even more so in the method you've used in creating it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
