I've had great replies if you all dont mind I show exactly what I am after and wonder if I can create a brush similar to the painted little's boy hair. I am doing a digital painting for type hair like that and it would be great to create a hair brush to use when I am painting the afro hair.

Are you familiar with the Mixer Brush Tool? With a curly brush tip that may work for some of the foundation when working over a photograph.

But basically I guess something like this may need a lot of individual (pressure sensitive) strokes with the Brush Tool or maybe the Smudge Tool.

You've got it correct I am looking for either or both to be honest a brush that paint curly dabs or I can paint individual curls.

As I've shown on the recent link. Is it possible at all you think to create either brushes you've mentioned? I am not suggesting you create them for me but if it's possible and how I go about it.

Thank you

For illustrative purposes I suppose randomized brush tips with (Pressure-sensitive) Color Dynamics might be employed, but I wonder if that image might have been done with Painter, which (as the names suggest) supposedly surpasses Photoshop with regard to simulating actual painting.

But I have to admit that this is not my field of experience as I usually work with Photoshop to edit, touch-up, combine … photographs.
