How to Create Facial Hair in Photoshop

[@SuperWigMaker]

Well I followed the instructions and now my grandma's photo has a realistic beard... see what you have done there, soon all my female relatives will have beards! I hope you are happy!

[@afrovisuals-ksv894]

Super Wig Maker 😂😂😂 same thought with me too

[@brznin]

Seeing the title and being lile "meeeh... another video teaching how to use those bad noise-and-radialblur effects" Then seeing the intro with before/after and being like "wow great use of the clone stamp tool!" Finishing the video and being like "Ô sweet crispy Lord THAT is amazing! Let's grab friends' photos on Facebook and put hairs everywhere!" ALL of your episodes dealing with creating brushes are pure awesomeness.

[@seanmac7322]

Also worth mentioning to put a small shadow effect onto the hair to give it depth. Remember real light shining on real hair will show real shadow so that has to be considered also.

[@harsh5181]

This is just awesome... I loved it seriously.. Thumbs up :D

[@puffedupcheeks]

this felt like a magic show! AMAZING!

[@TheDvd3000]

***** I've got a challenge, and i would love to see you at least make a try. Remember the singer at the Melodi grand Prix ? Conchita Could you try to remove her/his beard with photoshop? :D bit.ly/1sn0q4L - Picture

[@HowardPinsky]

This is amazing! Nice job, guys!

[@AnthonyMcNeil]

[@Gabriel-gabriel]

Dear aaron,I've struggled a while with this brush,I followed a tutorial for krita,but the result is...baad. So,I followed YOUR tutorial. IT WORKS👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@karenjames6308]

[@Torebordalpiano]

You are awesome dude. After watching this video I'm hooked on photoshop. I'm a beginner, and I actually made Jack from Lost look pretty realistically shabby after using your nice method. Thank you!

[@FeeBarradas]

Fantastic tutorial. I think it also helps in creating grass for architectural rendering in a more natural way. Thanks a lot, Aaron!

[@TheDiamondsions]

hey guys this is basically a little video on if you feel ashamed of yourself and you want to fix yourself :D

[@nlopedebarrios]

You are the best, no matter how many Photoshop tutorials I see out there, I always come back to Phlearn

[@johnnyholliday8784]

You should've just stopped the video at 3:35 and said, " and there you have it."

[@abdulmsiddiqui4344]

Johnny Holliday Bwahahha xD

[@drewdagger7058]

This made me laugh so much. Hahahaha

[@desktorp]

Johnny Holliday After all, it is The Perfect Facial Hair.

[@jjiot82]

Johnny Holliday "and so we have a white box!, and there you have it! and thats how you add facial hair on photoshop."

[@joesnow4079]

+Sam Watts LOL xD nice one !!

[@authorcandacephillips-ande1460]

How AWESOME is this? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!

[@danielmarkovic136]

I've seen a lot of PS tutorial videos, but your examples are one of the most professional and precise levels. All very easy uderstanding.

[@azraelsgrave]

Here it just creates a semi blurred effect when done in large patches. For touchup this effect works. If you are needing to create a large group of hairs try to isolate hairs from this same picture or another picture and apply in a similar way as shown here. This way the hairs will not come out blurry and will already have a variance in coloring (drawn hairs just look too fake when on a living subject), and need only a light touch for blending. For example his cheek has a really nice grouping of hairs that could have been sampled and manipulated and applied. Which would also avoid the blurred look when making larger patches of hair.

[@DarkLordAli95]

I'll try this when I have time, really wanna see how I would look like if I were to let my beard grow!

[@gaboaaa23]

First: YOU are so super nice and funny person! Second: How the hell can someone keep all of these settings in his mind? I mean thats only one brush in the whole photshop!!!!! Insane!

[@sayyidshillingford6353]

+gabrielwhite ikr

[@sourendhoommail]

+gabrielwhite You dont require o remember settings for each kind of brush. You just need to remember the options in the brush panel. Then experiment with it. But yes its will take time.. Enjoy Photoshoping :P

[@Keimotorider]

+gabrielwhite just need to understand what each thing do and you don't have to remember anything!

[@aldebear7]

This video has single-handedly upped my Fallout 4 & GTA V face texturing game. Thanks so much!

[@dizeyner]

Freaking amazing. You've demystified the brush creation tool far better than any other source I found. And this video gets 10 stars from me. Thank you so much!

[@artofcorvidae]

I can finally photoshop hair on everything

[@NOACEGAMING]

[@AdamariMedia]

@Krishna Prajapati lmao what does that have to do with photoshping hair

[@mattkaiser8984]

Try making yourself look like a hairy hippy lady. Go full bore on the arm pits and leg hair. Do a unibrow and one of those girl mustaches.

[@DhubAgency]

Such a fun tutorial Aaron, this is a great way for those starting out to learn more about brushes.

[@Jake-kc6hu]

Turned out to be the best custom brush tutorial i've seen.Thank you

[@BlueLineVibes]

This was sooo cool. I have a beard just like this guy in the video. I have those two spots that will not grow. Definitely subbed.

[@larryshere2422]

Just from the intro, Subbed.

[@syndrac6254]

I've always had a talent for painting everything else in photoshop with shadows and stuff....but people are taking it to the extreme now....they are doing actual photorealistic human faces. All I got to say about that is wow. People are really dedicating months of time to completing one face with all the details.

[@newlookphotostudioservice]

All teaches editing techniques ... but u are awesome.. u taught to create ... lots of thank ... waiting for more creations.

[@MorenaNama]

Looks amazing! Definitely going to try this out! And I'm female :D Me with a majestic mustache: Muahaha!

You're the best if it comes to explaining, thank you Aaron

[@PatrickLetrondo]

I literally gasped at 8:48. GENIUS.

[@Someone-jf3mb]

Is it just me or what, I think that After is even more realistic than Before lol

[@mbochan0610]

thank you for sharing this. I can create my own brush for further painting! :D

[@thehungryhungarian84]

Holy shit. I thought I have to draw every single hair separately. This is magic.

[@GhostMojojojo]

OMG! This better than our actual photoshop class in our art school! Subscribed!

[@DorothyJeanThompson]

This was awesome! Thank you! Also, you can add Color Dynamics in the brush settings to pain with two different colors. I used Black and a light brown and also changed the Hue Jitter, Saturation Jitter, Brightness Jitter to about 50% and that changed the colors! Looks Perfect!

[@DirtHoleee]

Really interesting tutorial Aaron, HPI lol...

[@Pear.Jerry.]

That was INCREDIBLE! The way you were defining your 'facial hair brush' simply blew my mind! :D

[@dpaul3858]

This is public service, Awesome tutorials, always. I like the perfection and depth of your work. Thank you

[@dr689632]

Very impressive! Thanks for sharing.

[@ErnieNabe]

I enjoy it, Thanks! You are so cool!

[@LeeJacksonBeastMode]

***** can you give me steps on how to download this Photoshop program, Because my DELL laptop doesn't have a CD rom

[@jaredbornstein7174]

Lee Jackson You can get the .EXE file directly from Adobe's website for the CC version, as they don't make CS6 anymore

[@user-ho9wd5ix4j]

Lee Jackson digitaltechspace.com/adobe-photoshop-cs6-free-download-full-version/

[@wuxiang6639]

Hey Aron you alone don't let us focus on the video and now u brought another handsome guy to distract our thoughts😂 I swear all I did throughout this lesson was watching his beautiful eyes🤣

[@Soulsphere001]

Wow, I love how amazingly real this looks. It's also so simple to do, or at least he makes it look simple to do. I really should shave off most of my facial hair, get a good picture of myself, and try this. I'm curious if you can use something similar for hair on your scalp, though I imagine that's a lot trickier to deal with. Scalp hair doesn't have as much variation, unless it's messy hair. Plus, the longer the hair is the harder it'll be to make.

[@TheDaarken]

You are my favorite teacher and the best

[@dansabedra5478]

I'm stuck at hit shit and delete. It makes the entire marque box solid white.

[@bgameiro]

+Dan Sabedra me too

[@46Sans]

+Bruno Gameiro Me three. I don't even get a colour. Just does not work. Shift + Del tells me that nothing is selected. Frustrating.

[@46Sans]

+Sandra Valente To end my frustration, and hopefully yours, simply create a new document: 200 x 200 pixels. Hit D so your colours revert back to black and white. Draw your hair or whatever you'd like. Go to Edit, Define Brush Preset, and then save. Now I finally have a hair.

[@MrDR1337]

same here, someone who can help us????????

[@zecRjee]

SHIFT + F5

[@fer_rmrz]

Man, this was my first Ps practice and it came out perfect, thanks! You did a great job with this!

[@ekbergpeter6987]

Amazing. Something you did for 8 years ago made my day today. 🙂

[@lnot0rious582]

when you realise that the edits you did made the picture more realistic

[@osmaispotentes8857]
