Photoshop Painting Techniques: Hair and FurUsing advanced Paint Engine functions to create custom effects Painting the effect The actual painting of a hair effect is a fairly simple process. For my example, I've created it in five steps using just two layers. First, create a new layer above your background layer. Using the brush you just created, paint in a black base for your hair.
If you have trouble getting around some tight areas (like the mustache region), you can adjust the size of your brush down in the Brushes palette using the Master Diameter control.
When you've build up the base completely, select a dark brown from your Swatches palette, or sample one of the dark areas of your subject's (real) hair, and build up a new layer of color over the existing black.
Now, you guessed it, select a light brown, and build up the beard further. This is the stage where the details of the beard really start to pop out.
Then take a light gray, and fill in some gray hairs using very light pressure.
When you're done, go back in and fill in some more dark colors to replace details you might have lost along the way. And, while you're at it, switch to the Eraser tool, select your new brush, and erase away some of the stray hairs you've created. Using this brush with the Eraser tool will allow you to cut back into your image with the same edge quality as your hair layer, so it will blend more naturally.

When it comes to choosing between Plasma and LCD, it's important to shop in the mindset that one high-def TV is not necessarily better than another - rather, it's a question of which one is right for you. That said, it can be a tough call to make when all that meets the eye are sleek screens and vibrant pictures - are Plasmas and LCDs really that different?
