Braid tutorial -RQ-

Avocado17 wanted me to make a tutorial on how to make braids and here it is:

Step 1 (red)
make the green shape in your hair color

Step 2 (orange)
make a that shape again but mirror it and place it under the first one, make sure to get the same gap as the one shown

Step 3 (yellow)
continue the pattern for as long as you want your braid to be, and add a darker outline. Make sure it matches the outline shown.

Step 4 (green)
to finish of the braid at 2 pixels going diagonally, and add an outline to them too. Then add a 2 pixel wide elastic.

Step 5 (blue)
for the end of the braid make the shape from step 1 upside down and add an outline

Step 6 (purple)
shade the braid in what ever style you want. i usually make a light - dark gradient by first chancing the outline and making that a gradient and the i shade the rest of the braid.

this is not how you have to make it, but just the way i make them, there is a million ways to make braids and this is just one of them.

i hope this helped
