Manipulating black and white
It's got to be the easiest thing to do as long as you know how to work a tablet pen and know a little about the program you're using. I'm assuming you know these things, so I'm not being very thorough on how to set the properties of your tools and such.
For this guide, I've used Manga Studio Debut, and a Wacom Intuos tablet.
The basic idea here is to get a sharp looking picture using only black and white. So, you set the properties of your tool(s) to whatever you desire (in my case, I used the Pen [G] tool, set at size), and making a basic sketch:
Leaving the brush size of the pen at 2.0,I quickly gave it some basic shading.
Added a few more details, mainly the eye and additional shading:
Then, reducing the size of my pen's brush to 1.0, I began applying fine lines of white to the hair. This is pretty obvious, but remember to go with the flow of the hair.
As you can see, I just kept adding more and more white lines, trying to stick the way the hair flows while adding more white to where the light hits it the most.
For the brightest bits, I just used this...zig-zaggy line:
Then I moved to refining the picture a little bit. Added stronger shading in places, refined the cross-hatching, the eye, etc.
And then...I was done. :3
