Avoid it? I'm sorry my friend but with a character who has REALLY long bangs, it's just not possible!
See, I took our little friend Merry here from the screencaps Morisato posted and edited her hair.
Now this looks fine. The hair is covering her eyes in a realistic fashion and it doesn't really take away anything from her face.
BUT if I do the same thing in a shot where her hair is covering most of her face?
This doesn't work so well. As you can see (or not see) her pout face is no longer visible. We can't really tell what she's feeling here.
So.......what option is left over to fix this problem?
This. What I did is use the eyedropper tool to get the color of her hair, paint over the black parts of her eyes and lower the opacity of the layer.
The hair now looks like it's in front of her face but you can still see her face. This looks better than either option, yes?
(yes, I know the editing in the second one is somewhat obvious but F*CK LIGHT GRADIENTS!!
) That's not the point anyway.
