HAIR DRAWING TUTORIALS

CLICK HERE for a really good hair drawing tutorial, step by step
here are some essential tips for drawing hair:
  • The pencil strokes always replicate the hair’s direction and the length.
  • The colour of the hair is determined by how dark or how light your pencil lines are.
  • A band of light is created in the hair anytime there is a curved area. You will see it in curls and around the circumference of the head.
  • Highlights are always seen on rounded or protruding areas.
  • Blend the paper to a grey tone before you lift highlights. This makes them look like they are on the outer surface.

Curly HairThis study shows how curls form tubular shapes similar to a cylinder. Wherever the curls protrude the most, the highlight shows.
The pencil lines create the texture of the hair, following the direction the hair is going. The highlights are lifted with the same type of quick stroke. You can tell if its dark or light hair by the depth of the tones.

Frizzy or Permed Hair:
​This study shows what frizzy or permed hair looks like. The curls are less distinct here because of the randomness of the hair direction and the overlapping of hair strands.
The pencil strokes are more blended out because of the frizzier texture of the hair.

Layered Hair
​In layered hair, V shapes are created — which also occurs when drawing animal fur, feathers and flower petals. These V shapes are where things overlap and recede, and the deep V of darkness gives the illusion of depth.

Band of Light
This is an example of the bands of light — areas where the hair is curved, such as in bangs and around the head. It is the most obvious with long, smooth hair.
