Maybe you're thinking, "I'm good at drawing realistic bodies, but how do I draw hair?" Well, the following simple steps will help your drawing object to have realistic hair.
Step
Step 1. After you've drawn a simple head and shoulders, think about the hairstyle you want to draw for the object, then think about the texture and thickness of the person's hair
Step 2. Start with where the hair is parted (usually called a parting) if you are drawing a person whose hair is not tied, or the hairline if their hair is tied or slicked back
Step 3. Draw it casually, don't be stiff because later the hair will look stiff too
Let your hands flow freely.
Step 4. Don't draw thick lines if you don't want your hair to look clumpy
Draw thin lines, but don't need to draw every strand. You won't be able to do it.
Step 5. Trim the stray strands like you would your own hair
Darken the hair color and add light sections for a realistic touch.
Step 6. Add details, hats, hair clips, ribbons, colors
Tips
- Make sure your hands are relaxed and draw painstakingly for good results.
- Do not use a blunt or too sharp pencil.
- Don't draw the exact same strands of hair on both sides as the result will look artificial. Instead, draw it differently. Make it a bit similar but not too lame.
- Draw one section at a time, smoothing and fading the lines, but leaving a little space between the hairlines for a shiny look.
- Don't be in a hurry! Do it patiently.
- Use a good eraser so the marks don't look like lumps of stain.
- Place a clean sheet of paper under your hand so you don't spoil the finished part of the drawing.
- If you want to see if the outline of the object's face fits, flip the image over.
- Once you see the picture, don't back down. Let your creativity flow.
- Always sharpen your pencil before drawing fine lines which must be accurate.
