Hello, this is Ha-Ya.
Today, I will teach you step-by-step how to draw hair.
It may seem complicated, but if you understand the core principles, anyone can draw realistic hair.
Step 1: Get the basic flow
First, you should look at hair as a clump. If you try to draw each strand individually, it can easily become unnatural and complicated.
First, figure out the shape of the skull, and then
grasp the flow in large chunks, such as the front, side, crown, and back of the head.
Remember that hair is affected by gravity,
so it flows from top to bottom.
Step 2: Adding base color and volume
Next is the step of laying down the basic colors.
Fill the entire block with the basic tone.
After that, set the light source direction and divide the light and dark by block to give it a three-dimensional effect.
The important thing here is that hair is translucent and reflective, so
if you put in light and shade like a simple ball, it will look unnatural.
Use a soft brush and slowly color in chunks.
I'm working with the most basic circle brush.
Step 3: Describing the details
Once you have a certain shape and volume, express the strands of hair.
Rather than drawing each strand in great detail,
selectively add a few strands of different thicknesses.
It will look more natural if you add strands to the parts you want to emphasize (where the light hits or where the shape is bent).
Rather than adding them too regularly,
expressing a little bit of disorder and clumping together will make it look more realistic.
At this time, use a brush with a sharp tip,
or use the pressure-sensitive function to handle it delicately.
Step 4: Highlights and Reflections
Hair is thin and shiny like thread, so highlights are very important.
1. Add thin, long highlights to the areas where the light source hits.
2. It is better to use a color that harmonizes with the surrounding tone so that the color tone is not too white.
3. Reflected light is also secretly important, especially for dark hair.
If you add a little reflected light at the bottom, it will give a sense of space.
Rather than applying it too strongly, it is effective to lower the brush opacity and gently sweep it.
Step 5: Finishing details and finishing touches
1. Finally, add some hair or light fur.
2. If the hair border is too sharp, it may look like a wig,
so add some blur or flying hair to soften the border.
3. Check by zooming out the entire screen, and organize unnecessary lines,
4. Check the overall balance.
So far, we have learned how to draw hair step by step.
It may seem difficult at first, but if you remember these three elements: lump-light-texture,
anyone can draw much more convincing hair.
If you have any questions while practicing, please leave a comment. Thank you.
