To change hair colour in Ibis Paint X, one of the first steps is to add a new layer. This can be done by clicking the plus button to add a new layer.
Once you have added a new layer, you can change the brush settings and select a colour. For example, you can change the brush to "Airbrush (normal)" and then choose the colour you want to apply to the model.

Choose a brush
When choosing a brush in Ibis Paint X to change hair colour, there are a few options to consider. Firstly, it is recommended to add a new layer for your colour changes. This will ensure that you do not alter the original image.
One brush option is the "Airbrush (normal)" setting. This brush allows you to choose your desired colour and apply it to the model's hair. After applying the colour, you can remove any excess to create a clean look.
Another brush option is the "Hair" brush. This brush is designed specifically for colouring hair and can be used to create a natural look. It is recommended to set the brush opacity between 69-72% for this brush. You can use as many colours as you like, but it is suggested to use three: the base colour and two shades lighter than the base, with the third colour being the brightest.
Additionally, you can use the "Hair (Light)" brush, which is similar to the "Hair" brush but with a different purpose. This brush is used to highlight specific areas of the hair, creating a brighter and more dynamic look. It is recommended to set the opacity of this brush to 33%"Dip Pen (Soft)" brush can be used for shading. This brush will help you create shadows and depth in the hair after you have added your desired colour and highlights.
Remember, these are just a few brush options available in Ibis Paint X for changing hair colour. You can experiment with different brushes and settings to achieve your desired look.

Pick a colour
To change hair colour in Ibis Paint X, you'll need to pick a new colour for the hair. This can be done by adding a new layer and selecting a colour.
It's recommended to use a model with dark hair as it's easier to change the colour. However, if you're working with light hair, it's not impossible, it will just be more difficult.
You can use as many colours as you like, but it's suggested to stick to three: a base colour and two shades lighter than the base, with the third colour being the brightest. For black hair, you can use three different shades of grey, alternating between light grey, grey, and the base grey.
To add highlights, use a colour that is much lighter than the base colour. For example, for black hair, instead of using white, use a bright blue colour for the highlights.
After adding in the highlights, you can open the filter tool and select Gaussian Blur, setting it to your preference. Then, set the layer opacity to your desired level.

Adjust opacity
When changing hair colour in Ibis Paint X, adjusting the opacity of the brush is a crucial step to achieving the desired colour and overall look. Here is a detailed guide on how to do it:
The opacity of a brush determines how transparent or opaque the colour is when applied. To adjust the opacity in Ibis Paint X, locate the opacity slider or control, often indicated by a red circle or a similar symbol. Play around with different opacity levels to understand their impact on the colour. For example, 50% opacity will create a more subtle, translucent effect, while 100% will give you a solid, opaque colour.
When changing hair colour, it is recommended to work with multiple layers. After selecting your desired brush, such as the "Airbrush (normal)" option, adjust the opacity before applying the colour to the hair. This will ensure that the colour blends naturally with the original hair colour and any underlying layers.
The opacity slider should be easily adjustable, allowing you to increase or decrease the value as needed. Remember that you can always go back and adjust the opacity after applying the colour to fine-tune your artwork. Experiment with different opacities to find the perfect balance for your desired hair colour.
Additionally, you can use the "Brush" icon to access advanced brush settings, where you may find more detailed opacity controls. These settings can further refine the opacity level and the way it interacts with the selected colour. Remember that the "Dip Pen Hard" brush, suggested by some tutorials, may offer a different opacity adjustment experience compared to softer brushes.

Highlight and shade
To create highlights and shadows in Ibis Paint X, you must first have a base layer of hair. On a new layer, switch to the brush 'Hair' and set the opacity to somewhere between 69-72%. Using the same colours, colour the area where you think the light would hit the hair. Use a brighter colour to highlight those areas, and then use darker shades to colour around the lighted area to blend. Once you are satisfied with the colouring, merge the layers with the base.
For some shine, use either the 'Hair' brush or the 'Hair (Light)' brush with 100% opacity. Use a colour that is much lighter than the colours you used previously.
For black hair, use three different shades of grey. Alternate between light grey, grey, and the base grey.
The "Add" blend mode in Ibis Paint X can be used to express light, and the "Multiply" blend mode can be used to express shadow. To do this, open the Layer window and on top of the base hair gradation, tap 'New Layer'. Finally, add a layer for highlights. Tap 'Add' to open the Blending Mode menu and select 'Add' from the menu. Next, tap the 'Clipping' button and turn it on. Set the colour to white and select the 'Airbrush (Triangle)' brush, setting the thickness to 70 pixels. Paint with a fat airbrush.
When colouring hair, it is recommended to use a shade that is slightly darker than the desired colour for the base.
