Volume<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It helps to make loose outlines of the skull before you start drawing hair. If you draw hair without the 3 dimensional shape of the human head in mind, it\u00a0will lack volume and you risk chopping\u00a0off a part of the skull. Hair hugs the head, but it isn&#8217;t plastered to it. For most people with long hair, you can expect at least 2 centimeters of &#8220;hair height&#8221; on top of their actual height and at least 2 centimeters on the sides as well.<\/p>\n<p>Having difficulty drawing heads?

Flow<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In order to draw hair with flow, you need to be aware of the structure underneath. For long hairstyles in their resting state, the hair flows down, hugs the\u00a0head\u00a0and wraps around the shoulders. Somewhat like a liquid. You want to begin by sketching the basic structure of the hair and keep your strokes loose and simple.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/rfa-how-to-draw-hair-example-2-comp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1484\" src=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/rfa-how-to-draw-hair-example-2-comp.jpg\" alt=\"rfa how to draw hair example 2\" width=\"224\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Value (Shadows, Midtones, Highlights)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A head of hair contains many shades, so before you start scribbling away, take some time to determine where the light source is coming from and how it will affect the tonal value of the hair.<br \/>\nIf you are working off a reference image where the lighting is too soft,\u00a0posterize the image or turn up the contrast using a free image editing program such as gimp in order to exaggerate the 3 different shades &#8211; Making them much easier to identify.<\/p>\n<p>Posterized reference image:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1486\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1486\" style=\"width: 269px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1486 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/posterize-comp.jpg\" alt=\"posterize comp\" width=\"269\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/posterize-comp.jpg 269w, https:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/posterize-comp-217x300.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Posterized Image in GIMP (image editing software)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once you have the lighting down,\u00a0start drawing boundary lines between\u00a0groups of hair that appear to be overlapping.

Texture<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>An average human head contains around 150,000 strands of hair. Just the thought of this can be very discouraging. First<a href=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RFA-how-to-draw-reaslistic-looking-hair-comp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1487\" src=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/RFA-how-to-draw-reaslistic-looking-hair-comp.jpg\" alt=\"How to Draw Realistic Looking Hair\" width=\"289\" height=\"373\" \/><\/a> of all, you don&#8217;t need to spend 90% of your time meticulously drawing your subject&#8217;s hair. In fact, this step can be done so quickly it might even become your favorite step. The key to adding texture is using confident, steady strokes and maintaining a consistent flow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> You can produce long, continuous and smooth lines using an overhand grip on your pencil \u00a0while harnessing the power of your elbow and shoulder instead of your fingers and wrist.<\/p>\n<p>Work on one part of the hair at a time, while following the general direction in which the strands flow. In dark areas, don&#8217;t be afraid to press hard (I used a <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1SCbZ4S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">6B to 8B<\/a> for these\u00a0areas).\u00a0To bring out highlights, flatten your kneaded eraser and swipe it in the desired direction. The eraser will become too dirty after the first swipe, so fold it in and flatten after each stroke.<\/p>\n<p>You can add more or less detail depending on the level of realism you are trying to achieve.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nLet&#8217;s take a closer look at drawing a small lock of hair:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When creating your first layer of pencil strokes, mix it up with <a href=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/how-to-draw-hair-close-up-RFA1-comp4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1498\" src=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/how-to-draw-hair-close-up-RFA1-comp4.jpg\" alt=\"how to draw hair close up RFA\" width=\"222\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/how-to-draw-hair-close-up-RFA1-comp4.jpg 222w, https:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/how-to-draw-hair-close-up-RFA1-comp4-186x300.jpg 186w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/><\/a>a variety of different line weights.\u00a0I use a mixture of dull and sharpened pencils as well as mechanical pencils. As you are creating each stroke, remember to press and then lift as you approach the area you want to highlight. Work your strokes inwards so they fade in the middle of the lock.<\/p>\n<p>Add a second layer of strokes. In this stage, I usually opt for a 0.5mm <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2czwP4W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">HB<\/a>&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2cXMwoR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">4B<\/a> for touch-ups and a very dull 6B to fill some white space without making it look too busy.<\/p>\n<p>Keep doing this until you achieve desired results. If you want to create a shiny look or replicate harsh lighting, try to keep the highlights fairly clean. You can use an eraser if need be.<\/p>\n<p>For hair ends, work outwards so your hair tapers nicely without looking too blunt and dull.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Useful Techniques<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Drawing hair\u00a0isn&#8217;t\u00a0just a bunch of lines in boring repetitive patterns. Use the 4 techniques below to make your drawings more\u00a0interesting to the eye.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Techniques-on-how-to-draw-hair-red-txt-802x247.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1474\" src=\"http:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Techniques-on-how-to-draw-hair-red-txt-802x247.jpg\" alt=\"techniques on how to draw hair\" width=\"809\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Techniques-on-how-to-draw-hair-red-txt-802x247.jpg 809w, https:\/\/rapidfireart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Techniques-on-how-to-draw-hair-red-txt-802x247-300x92.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having difficulties drawing long hair because your pencil strokes are too short or choppy, try holding your pencil further away from the tip. This will give you more range of motion, producing longer, smoother strokes.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready to draw some hair?

Practice drawing curls using a cylindrical shape. This will help you\u00a0achieve realistic curls with\u00a0plenty of\u00a0volume.<\/p>\n<p>2. Sometimes it helps to make associations. So think of a curl as a ribbon.\u00a0They have many ringlets which stretch further\u00a0apart near the bottom. Use curvy lines and avoid any straight lines in order to achieve a more realistic feel and flow. (4B)<\/p>\n<p>3. Pay attention to the highlighted areas of the hair and keep it consistent. For this example, the highlight is in the center. As you can see, the hairs closest to the front have more prominent\u00a0highlights than the back. (6B)<\/p>\n<p>4. Use swift strokes to add texture.\u00a0Break free from patterns and boring lines by overlapping or adding stray hairs. Be creative and look to reference images or even the mirror for inspiration.

Shade the dark areas, keeping in mind this step is for helping you see the big picture. (6B)<br \/>\n4. Add texture by working on one area of the hair at a time. Outlining groups of hair and then adding texture is also a good technique.\u00a0For thin hair, use &#8216;v&#8217; shapes to taper most hair ends. Keep in mind that thick hair usually does not taper at the ends. Instead, most hairs will stand on their own. (4B, 6B, 8B)<\/p>\n<p>This is my\u00a0longest\u00a0tutorial to date!
