    This is my first Attempt at a portrait. Had no freaking idea how to do that hair, thats why it looks the way it does. Hopefully it looks like brad pitt. Like to know what you think.

    Hi Rian,

    It does look like Brad Pitt. Hair is difficult to do in XaraX. This thread has an excellent technique by Christine for doing hair.

    Hi Rian,

    Here's a technique I've used before.

    This will show you the shapes I used.

    By using more shapes of smaller size you can get a more realistic look to the hair.

    My first attempt actually, Fractals are wonderful for most things. But It just didnt look right for me. Thanks for your time!

    Rian, another technique I've used is to draw many strands of hair. It takes more time; if I remember correctly it took me a week to do the hair in this attachment.
