Actually, I'd be interested to see what edit comes out of this, as I too have this problem when it comes to drawing and/or colouring hair.
If anyone makes an edit please could they describe how they came to that conclusion and share any techniques or colouring rules used? Kudos in advance =) As for what you've got already, great job =) very clean ^__^ could use some AA on the black on white though. The lines on the black/white areas are a little too sharp/jaggy. |

Here you go. Problem, brah? Seriously, it's better if you just have a look in the Hall of Fame and try to imitate some of the http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/4328.htm - nice hair there, instead of just asking for someone to get you started. You learn more that way. |

Roflmao Cels. xD
If I may I be daring for a moment by even questioning such artistry, I've seen that artist's portraits and although extremely intricate and well footed as the characters are, I've always found their hair very .. flat looking.. kinda... I can't describe it accurately I guess.. I just know that I don't really like the hair in their portraits.. Although the hair in that one isn't that bad actually.. kinda nice,really. perhaps that one is an exception or newer.. *Shruggs* Could you(or anyone for that matter) provide an alternate example of pixel hair please? |

lolllll CELS. I would also recommend AA, but in very specific places with moderation. I'd probably AA the shoulders very slightly, or maybe not at all. I would, however, AA the vertical black lines on the inside of the suit. You want to keep the sharpness as much as possible |
