Introduction

This is an explanation of a 3D material for hair sketches that was created just so you can draw hair from an angle.

 

Note: 3D hair sketches are paid materials.

 

 

This allows you to draw while being conscious of the three-dimensional feel of hair.

I think hair is quite important when drawing an angle from above, so please use this when the hair doesn't look quite right.

The 3D material is made by simply connecting flat parts together, so it's pretty primitive and looks rather awkward.

Please forgive me as it is just a rough sketch.

There are no clever physics calculations or anything like that, so please make adjustments with the root manipulator.

Combine with 3D head and drawing doll for more convenience

If you are using Clip Studio Paint version 2 or later, you can add eyes and hair by setting the parent-child relationship.

You can try out various poses and angles.

In Clip Studio Paint version 2.2 and later, you can do a very convenient thing called parent-child relationship setting.

It moves as shown in the image above.

By combining a 3D head with a drawing doll, you can set the face and body shape to your liking.

Adding hair as well may help with drawing.

 

There is an official explanation about this, so please take a look.

Eyeball 3D material

There are four types of materials.

 

When you wonder where the ears are, semi-transparent is useful.

Without grid

Layout

There are 12 layouts in total.

There is layout 1, which is designed to be positioned to match the 3D head, and layout 2, which is for a 3D drawing doll.

Layout 2 is designed to match the default "3D Drawing Doll - Ver. 2 (Female)" but is for Clip Studio Paint ver. 1.

Use layout 1 when attaching to a drawing doll or 3D head.

 

Each layout has 6 hairstyles.

Use these as a base to adjust the hairstyle.

Movable

It's a bit tedious to have to move each one individually.

It might be easier to select multiple hairs and move them with the root manipulator.

 

↓0

The hair will spread out.

If you move the slider just right, it will look like it is fluttering in the wind.

↓50

This is the normal position.

↓100

The hair hangs down in front.

I think it would be good for when you're bowing.

It depends on your hairstyle, but you can adjust the subtle parts individually with the root manipulator.

How to use

Alignment

It can be used alone, but it is more useful to combine it with a drawing doll or 3D head.

When using with a drawing doll, first attach the drawing doll to the canvas.

 

 

If you attach the head first, it can be a bit tedious to move the camera back.

Without moving the position of the drawing figure, next paste the 3D hair outline onto the canvas.

 

When doing this, do not drag and drop it onto the canvas, but click the icon in the red frame.

If you drag and drop, the 3D hair outline will be placed where you drop it, so aligning it can be a bit tricky.

If you drop it onto the 3D layer, the 3D hair outline will be placed in the center and it will be in the same state as when you clicked the red frame icon, so you can adjust the position by adjusting the size and moving it up and down or back and forth.

With Clip Studio Paint ver. 2 or later, attach the 3D hair outline to the head and then align it.

When combining it with the 3D head, I don't think it matters much whether you put the 3D hair model first.

If you are using Clip Studio Paint ver1, please use the drawing doll.

Since it is not possible to set a parent-child relationship, please do not give the character a pose, but use a camera angle that makes it look like they are bowing.

I think it would be convenient to make use of the rolls below.

For versions 2 and above, it can be used in combination with the head 3D.

The size will be adjusted to fit the shape of the head.

Please select the hairstyle from the layout in advance and adjust it.

When fitting an oval-shaped head, change the overall size of the 3D hair guide to match the width of the face.

Place it on the front of the face so that the position around the forehead matches up.

It seems like the back of the head is not enough, so move the "Hair (3D for hair outline > Head > Hair)" to fit the back of the head.

If you stretch the 3D hair model towards the back of the head using the object scale and transform it, the ratio will change and the position of the hair may become slightly distorted, so this is not a method we recommend.

Note: If you change the hairstyle in the layout, the position of "Hair (3D for Hair Reference > Head > Hair)" will be reset.

First select the hairstyle in the layout and then align it.

If there is a gap between "Hair" and "Hair_Side", either fill in the gap in your mind or adjust the object scale by widening the width of the hair.

Hairstyle adjustment

↑The hair strands are connected like this, so you can make fine adjustments by moving them with the root manipulator.

If you just want to change the length, select multiple parts below where you want to extend them and adjust them with Object Scale.

 

 

Adjusting the hairstyle silhouette

In Clip Studio Paint ver. 2 and later, when adjusting hairstyle, set "Reference axis for movement" and "Reference axis for rotation" to "Align with object."

This setting is not possible in ver. 1, so it may be difficult to change hairstyle.

Bangs Adjustment

Just stretching or shortening the hair can change the look, so with fine adjustments you can create a variety of hairstyles.

 

The bangs are blunt, but you can change the length, hide the bangs where the part is, and by using the grid you can create a diagonal or center part.

You can also create a princess cut by hiding the bottom part of the hair on the sides.

Adjusting hair flow

In Clip Studio Paint version 2 and later, when changing the flow of the hair, I recommend setting the "Reference axis for movement" and "Reference axis for rotation" to "Align with ground".

Try this when you want to add movement that matches gravity or wind.

For a bending forward pose, I think it's a good idea to select the yellow part of the hair and the bangs and rotate them.

The hair will be quite sunken in, but please forgive me as this is just for reference.

 

It is possible to adjust it from the movement menu.

Adjust the value to your liking, between 50 and 100.

The closer it is to 100, the more the hair will hang forward.

end

It might be a little difficult to do in Clip Studio Paint ver. 1, but you can adjust the hairstyle quite well, so I think it's quite useful.

You can get a sense of the three-dimensionality of the hair, so it's good for drawing assistance and practicing drawing hair.

Please feel free to use it.
