Sorry this took so long to respond, just got a new computer and have been hammering out some issues with the BSOD, which I have finally gotten past! yay for new technology...
Anyways the hair I first painted the dark tones, which consisted of P3 Rucksack Tan and P3 Battlefield brown, shaded down with Devlan Mud and Badab Black thinned washes in the darker areas, then blended up to the lighter areas with the midtone. I then mixed up a lighter shade of the Tan, leaving some battlefield brown in the mix so its not quite the full tan color. I used this mix for the basecoat of all the strands of hair, grandually getting lighter and lighter by adding in bleached bone. Finally before I quite reached pure bleached bone I added some white, for the final highlights on the strands of hair. I then threw a couple very very thin glazes of the original strand color to add more tone, then re-highlighted. Hope that makes some kind of sense!
Next time I paint some robes, I will try a bit more contrast added in. I am always a bit cautious when highlighting garments as I don't want them to be overshaded and lose a more realistic feel. But this one I do have to admit looking at it now, came out a bit dull ><
@Einion - Are you talking lighting shines from my poor lighting setup? ...when taking pictures, I always have to use my painting lamp, and put it pretty close, but it adds reflectiveness to the mini pics which I really don't care for. hmmmm any thoughts?
Thanks for the comments! Much appreciated! Again sorry for the delayed response~~
