I'm using a tablet and drawing primarily in Paint Tool Sai, but I also have Photoshop 7.
I've only recently switched over to drawing realistic portrait styled human faces (used to just draw anime'ish stuff)
So, I'm having trouble with how to draw hair. I only know the "cheap" technique of coloring hair a dark color, then highlighting it, and that doesn't seem to be working for this type of drawing. Especially when the person I'm drawing is blonde.

I'm wondering if there are any tips or guides to follow in order to improve this mess I'm working with atm :S
Thanks!
