To shade the hair
1.  In the Layer Palette, Unhide the Hair layer. 

2.  Grab the magic wand from the left tool menu.  Click inside the hair to select the empty space. 

3.  In top menu, click on Selections > Modify > Expand > 1.

4.  Set your foreground color to black, and select the paint can tool. Flood Fill the selected area with this color.

5.  Now I didn't like the strands of my hair, so I changed to the paint brush tool, set to size = 3, and drew in the strands (on same hair layer) to look like this:

6.   Right-click on hair layer and select Add New Raster Layer.

7.  In the Left tool menu, select the paint brush tool.  Set the tool options box to the same settings:  shape = round, size = 3, step =25, and Density-Opacity-Thickness = 100.

8.  Set the foreground color to a color lighter than the color used to fill the hair.  Since I had filled with black, I chose a light gray color.  On the added layer, draw in some highlighted strands.  (See pic below).  Take your time.  *S* 

9.  Now set your foreground color to a color slightly darker than the highlight, but still lighter than your hair color fill.  Draw in some strands in between the highlights.  (See pic below).

10.  In the top menu, click Edit > Blur > Gaussian Blur > Radius = 1.50

 
 

11.  Save your progress.  Save this as shaded angel.

Now is a good time to take a coffee or soda break.  But don't forget to come back!
One more page to go!

Now continue to color and shade the angel.
