For many beginning artists, drawing realistic-looking hair is especially difficult. Striking the right balance between regularity and chaos, between tidiness and untidiness is critical for the impression that your character will make. At this stage, the tail and especially the mane of my horse weren’t impressive—I drew them over and over many times, but all my attempts looked either too lumpy or too bushy (or both). I was finally able to produce a decent wavy hair by using a high value of Tremor (14.3.4 Tremor, Wiggle, and Mass) in the Calligraphic pen, as shown in Figure 22-9. Maximizing this parameter makes the calligraphic brush strokes nicely blotchy and much more uniformly uneven than I was able to make them manually.
