Logo shave
Hi all
I need to shave a logo into a man's hair - but it needs to have wispy bits of hair that have grown back in. The shot is a black man, and his hair is a close-cut afro.

Any ideas on the best way to achieve this?

Re: Logo shave
Place the logo on the hair. Take some skin texture and place over the top, with the logo as a clipping layer. Make a layer mask for the logo layer, filling everything outside the logo area with black; then use the Smudge tool to bring in wisps of hair from outside.

Re: Logo shave
Will have to refer back to the bible's chapter on layer masks tonight for this one - will post result.
