could you explain how you draw hair? The way you convey fluffiness or curls is very fascinating, and I can never seem to draw hair well when I’m drawing or sketching, maybe once in a while I’ll get a guy’s hairstyle right, but the longer it is the worse it gets ToT
Aw gosh! I'm really flattered to hear that, hair is one of the things I've been trying to work on recently so I'm very glad to hear!
as I showed with this video, I have a variety of different brushes I use to create different kinds of marks:
Which is pretty key to how I draw in general. When I'm drawing things I don't really think of stuff in terms of lines, but how I can describe the subject with the various marks I'm able to make. So while I'm drawing hair, I'm thinking about the weight of it, how it flows, and just its general texture, and that's what I try to convey.
Rougher Ink is my primary drawing brush, and the "Rougher Ink 2" variant you see in the video is just a clone of that brush with the minimum size increased a bit, which I use for drawing stray hairs and also for blocking in solid dark patches when I draw dark hair, alongside my texture brush and flat texture brush.
And also like, the ends of hair weighs down its length and then it lifts at the tips (to varying degrees depending on the texture of the hair)
It's best in my opinion not to draw hair as lots of small strands, but instead as large clumps of hair and then if your style calls for it add the occasional fly-aways to imply the individual strands.
Anyway, here's a few different gifs of me drawing hair!
Notably with this one, I draw the shadows of graecie's hair more than the hair itself. I find light hair tricky to draw, but the main thing is to convey the flow of the hairstyle. because her hair is white I didn't want to use many lines, so instead I'm selectively drawing shadows to indicate where the hair is clumped together, and erasing in flyaways
And with this one I literally just drew swirly squiggles with my flat texture brush and then drew over the top of that to fill in the gaps and add structure!
Anyway, I'm not sure how informative this one really is, but I do hope it helps a little regardless!
