How to Draw Realistic Hair with a Pencil - pencil drawing techniques
Hair can be the bane of any artist s existence, but with a few
good techniques, drawing hair can be easy, fun, and
relaxing.
• First thing s first.
It s a lot easier to draw hair if you divide it into sections.
Start by lightly
drawing the outline of one section of hair.
Make sure not to get crazy and drive your pencil into
the table, a light outline will do.
• After you have lightly drawn a section of hair, we are going to come in with a little more detail.
Many people have a hard time drawing hair, and actually try to draw every strand of hair.
Drawing this way makes the hair look flat and very two-dimensional.
In order to draw realistic,
lustrous, full-of-volume hair, you will ONLY need to draw the SHADOWS of the hair.
So, start
by lightly drawing in where the shadows of the hair will be.
Use light, flowing, wispy lines to
simulate the shadows in the hair.
