I think I'm starting to see what you mean, Fel. I've got a better sense of bangs and hair that makes bangs, but with long hair, I'm still not used to thinking of it as locks or chunks of hair...
I sort of work at it like a block of color that has texture on it, as opposed to chunks of hair that lay close together. There's where I get messed up. I can keep the right mind set when I work on bangs and short hair, but long hair is harder for me, I guess I get lazy.
Oh, it's something I definitely have to improve on.... I'm trying.

Thank you. <3 Truthfully, I wanted to have a waterfall in her hair instead of a fade to blue, but I couldn't get the waterfall to look good. And just water in general. In order for the water to really look good in her hair, her haid would have had to been shaped like the water, which wasn't what I wanted; I wanted it to look like a silhouette of hair, but instead of being a solid color, a sort of mask with a waterfall or water... It didn't work, so I turned the idea into a simple doodle.
But the fact that you still think it looks good makes me happy. <3
