realistic vector eyebrows??

[Erica]

Hi...

I'm trying to create the eyebrows on my mesh image but I didn't think I should use mesh for that part....
I was drawing each hair seperately but it didn't really work well,,,,it looked like a bushy knotted mess.....lol

Does anyone have tips on creating realistic eyebrows???

Thanks!

How about trying this for realistic eye brows. Trace around an eye brow, add a gradient with a lot of gradient sliders of the same color but with different intensities. With the object selected use the gradient tool and click & drag in a diagonal direction(bottom left to top right). Add a feather effect to it, try 0.13". Copy and paste it to the front. With the object on top still selected use the gradient tool again, but this time go in the opposite direction(bottom right to top left). Keeping the top object selected, go to the transparency palette and use the screen blend.

I sometimes find the best techniques by using the trial and error method. :D

I think pamzylove.com has a "tut" on her site for creating eyebows that looks pretty good
