Paper Doll Hair

Doll Hair

You can paint the doll hair by different methods, changing tubes, settings, effects and colors. Here I described a general idea, the rest depends on your image and imagination... Sorry for pun :)

Save often!

1. Open the file with your image. It should consist of four layers (see Basebody tutorial):

-head

-right hand

-left hand

basebody

2. Create the color chart from three colors with similar tints, for example:

3. Go to basebody layer. Choose Preset Shapes:

Ellipse

Antialias and Create as Vector checked

Line width = 1

Foreground and Background color - the first color from the chart

4. Magnify the image (3:1) and draw the ellipse behind the head (see picture). The new vector layer will be created in Layer Palette automatically. Move it below basebody layer and rename hair1.

5. With Object Selector tool edit you ellipse like this,

(right click on the ellipse and choose Node Edit option from the menu. Add some noddles if necessary).

6. Layer/Convert to Raster Layer.

7. Selections/Select All.

8. Selections/Float.

9. Selections/Modify/Contract by 5. Flood Fill with the second color from the color chart.

10. Selections/Modify/Contract by 5. Flood Fill with the third color from the color chart.

11. Selections/Select All.

12. Selections/Float.

13. Choose Retouch. Settings:

14. Move the cursor in direction of hair (for example in direction of the red arrows), shading the lines between colors.

15. Go to head layer. Choose Preset Shapes (same settings). Draw the ellipse and repeat steps 5-14.

You, of course, can use tubes (on separate layers). For example, dollhair1 or dollhair2. You should only choose the scale of the tube and probably its color. (Layer/Colorise - change Hue and Saturation settings with your choice).

3 variant

Here I used Fur effect from Eye Candy plugin.

Create new layer. Move it below basebody layer. Choose Freehand Selection and select the circle around the head like this:

Effects/Eye Candy 4000/Fur :

Go to head layer. Add new layer. Choose the different areas and apply the Fur effect several times, changing the options, until you get the required result. Good luck!
