Anyone know where to find an Inkscape hair tutorial?

My biggest problem with the OotS-style pictures I'm making is with the hair. Let me show you what I mean:

As you can probably see, I have little problem with black hair, or when I can reasonably make it all in one piece. Hair like Haley's or Vaarsuvius', on the other hand, causes me no end of irritation. Do any of you know of a good way to make parted hair in Inkscape?

(For the record, I did look at the instructions in Trazoi's tutorial, but I can't use pencil tools very well at all. I'm much more comfortable using the node tool on a rectangle, oval, or pen shape.)

That would be helpful. I can do anything else. but I epic fail at hair. :smallfrown:

I personally find hair to be the easiest thing to make. I have a few blank heads with hair on. I guess I can upload them sometime after I make some more hair.

You are not the only one. Heck, even the Giant probably had problems at first with hair (most of the characters in the first comics are bald...)

I found drawing hair to be both challenging and fun. I always use the "draw bezier curve" tool and make a rough shape of the hair, then I smooth out the nodes, then add or remove nodes when needed. Here are some examples for inspiration:

Some details I draw as separate objects and union them into the hair object itself. Effect seen on the Drow girl with white hair. I also did a split path on the hair for the brown haired dwarf. The hair is two objects, one on top and one at the bottom layer. Pony tails and such are separate objects so I can modify them for effect
Those are some of my characters for another OOTS style comic sometime this autumn or winter. Once I get GTAIV out of the system I can start serious work on the script :3
