oh hi! sorry i took so long to reply, i'm new so i'm kinda confused with comments and messages coming at me in all directions ;

the hair highlgihts on fuji? sure i can teach u ^^

ok, i use adobe photoshop 7 (5 and 6 work too i think), and:
1) choose a brown colour to be the base

2)paint bucket the whole hair sections with that brown

3) make a new layer (best if it's a transparent layer so everything else is visible through it)

4) take the paint brush and set it at about a medium to small size

5) choose white as ur colour

6) draw a broken line in the semi-circular shape that the highlights on anime characters tend to go in on top of the brown base

7) now choose the smudge tool, set it to about 60% capacity

8)smudge some parts up, some parts down, i tend to like ending it very pointy...i mean the jagged tops and bottoms of the highlights (not very good at explaining >.<

9) ok, once it's smudged, u have white highlights on the hair. some ppl leave it like that, i think that makes the highlights seem a little harsh/hard, so in the "layers" panel, in the drop down menu beside opacity i choose "Overlay" instead of normal.

10) this gives the highlights a bright brown colour (the base brown shows throw the white hence the bright brown)

11) so u duplicate the highlights layer. i make 2 duplicates usually for my pics, it's personal preference really ^^

12) out of the 3 duplicates, the very top layer i choose "normal" instead of "overlay" then i play around with the opacity of the layer and the middle layer until i get a highlight that i think looks good.

.....did all that make any sense at all? if it didn't just let me know and i'll write up a better one with screen caps so it's easier to understand ; i suck at explanations so badly, sorry! but don't hesitate to tell me that none of this made any sense at all ^^
