This one looks very good! The hair is really clean and the extraction techniques are really useful in many situations.
Thanks Eric! I really put a lot of work into this tutorial so I hope it’s paid off. I generally find that you can achieve a lot just by layering up a lot of elements, thus creating a richer overall piece. Of course this has to be done in a subtle way, and all blended/lit correctly.
