How to draw hair


How to draw hair and first we draw an oval shape for the head onto which we are going to How to draw hairdraw the hair, this oval shape doesn't have to be too accurate. Drawing hair is like putting a wig onto a bust of a head so here we are drawing one on our oval shape.


 

 

How to draw hair

We start by drawing in the main shapes of the hair and making sure we get the outline curves and angles right so look out for the largest main shapes first. The hair has to look as though it is actually part of the head so observation is the key here so try and keep all the shapes relative to each other.
 

How to draw hair

Inside the large basic hair shape are other smaller shapes which we need to observe and draw in, these are important areas if you want to make the hair look like real hair.

 

How to draw hair

Now we come to the shading of the hair which shows the form of it, this is a different type of shading to the normal sort of shading in that we are following the form of the hair with our pencil strokes not using diagonal shading to show the form. If hair strands seem to go vertically we draw in these vertical lines with our pencil strokes, if the hair curves to the left we follow this form to the left with our pencil strokes.
 

How to draw hairNow we come to a finish in this how to draw hair tutorial by making the hair stand out more by leaving the white paper for highlights and drawing in medium and darker tones for variety to show volume and depth. As in any type of drawing good observation is the key.
