It's pretty easy, using the pen tool. I figured out the way I was using before (click, click, click) was horribly inefficient, so I changed it. It is now click, click, curve. So much easier, only about three anchors on every line. The coloring part is a hoe however, and it doesn't help that I'm BORDERLINE-OCD. MY GOD IT TOOK AN HOUR JUST FOR THE HAIR.
Before I realized HOW TO USE THE SHAPE TOOL.
I love photoshop. It's so infuriating, yet you just get that little "DING!" when you realize that it had a tool you could have used half an hour ago to make so, so much simpler.
Hurr...
