I am working on a project for my wife.
A friend of hers is retiring, so I was recruited to take a group shot of everyone waving goodbye. Problem is that not everyone works at the same time. I did the shoot in three sittings, positioned so they could easily be patched together into one seamless shot.
The problem that I am having is with the hair. There are a few places where wisps of hair need to overlay someone else's jacket, or skin, etc. The original background was foliage, so selecting the strands from such a busy is nearly impossible - well, skip nearly, it's impossible.
What I want to do, is cut of the selection at an appropriate place, then draw in the continuation of the hair later.
Does anyone know of a technique or tutorial to draw convincing hair? On most cases it will be dark hair over both light and dark backgrounds, and in at least one instance it will be blond hair over a mixed background.
Thanks,
Rad
