I know what you mean.
I just take the gunk off the comb and put it in the water I save from washing the moustache. Then I use that to make my instant Ramen soup.
Oh, by the way, thanks for the hints about drawing hair.

course, dont know the shape of your head which don't help so I've followed your drawing
my that beard still looks bird's nest
done in painter 'cos thats what I am - leave the difficult vector stuff to you experts...
what do you think?
Well Steve, you got the shape of my head, I think. The picture looks a bit like a young Fidel Castro.
My hair is quite gray and my beard is white, which makes it difficult to do hair in a black-and-white drawing. But your drawing of hair gives me some ideas.
Below is a self portrait I made from a photo manipulation several years ago in Painter and Paintshop Pro. I am just trying to get into vector graphics.
Part of the reason I'm trying to do it in black and white lines is that I'm trying to learn how to sketch with pencil and pen on real (as opposed to virtual) paper. The nice thing about Xara lines is that Xara compensates for the tremor in my hands. Naturally, I want to try that in Xara and my graphics tablet. Maybe later I'll scan some of that stuff and upload it.
