Description Alright, forgot who I made this for, but I'll edit this descrip when I remember who (or when they tell me xDD)

Anyway, just a real quick braid tutorial for everyone, it's super easy and takes a couple minutes (when you're doing it on paper anyway) xD

If you want to get into even more detail with this, I can show you how I shade it as well, or try to. That would be interesting, since I'm not sure how to demonstrate that, but I could manage.

Wish I could just record this and put it all up on youtube xD I can describe and show that way better.

Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help! I've been considering expanding on this and adding braids from the side or from angles, since you don't often see them straight on :3

Well, as I just got Photoshop TODAY, I may have to do a coloring tutorial if I can get my husband to leave me along long enough (the I'll do a video).

That scene gave me a shadow of remembrance for one of my favorite characters from Steins;Gate, actually ^.^ The pose, clothes, and braids are quite similar to what you find her wearing/doing. Awesome job, by the way!

Really helpful!!!! but wat about those huge fat thick braids?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FutureCarrotLab In reply to phygem [2010-12-23 04:44:44 +0000 UTC]

Same process, just make them fatter and space out the smaller detail lines (for each braid "knot") accordingly!

That is really handy!! I usually avoid characters with braids, just because drawing them = fail, but now... this is really cool!!

I'm glad you like it and will find it really useful!

I used to have to, because.. well... Miyavi xD

So it's all in finally figuring out "Oh yeah, that's how you do it" (which is how it happened, I didn't sit there and try different things on scratch paper, I just bluffed until it clicked)

Ah, it's great though. He loves playing little jokes on all of his fans, so after he went through a bunch of really old pictures on his old computers, he found some of when he was a teen. Doesn't look too different now except for all the tattoos. So he posted one in his blog and said he got all of his tattoos removed xDD

Really?! That is hilarious! But then again... something about Asian guys, you can never tell how old they really are At least, I can't

FutureCarrotLab In reply to taeliac [2008-12-04 05:44:32 +0000 UTC]

He loves joking with his fans... Since I've been keeping a closer eye on blogs, I've noticed 1-2 jokes/month xD

He's such a prankster

And yeah, Asians look like they could be anywhere between 16 and 25 until they're in their 40s, it seems, and then looks like they're 90 the rest of their life xD

I wonder if it's real as overnight of a transformation as it seems. Go to bed young and beautiful, wake up with gray hair and wrinkles.
