Bert tackles the topic of creating realistic hair and fur with Photoshop this week. First, Bert creates long flowing hair using the pen tool (for the shape of the strands), define brush preset option (to create a unique brush stroke), the brush engine (to adjust the custom brush) and stroke effect (to add effect).

Similarly, Bert makes fur by creating a custom brush stroke with the pen tool, paths, define brush present, brush engine (adjusting scatter and count) and colorize effect.

Don't forget to design and e-mail Bert a background for our green screen! Please send a jpg design with size 1280x720 pixels
