"a lot of people draw hair wrong"
Sir that's literally my hair in first drawing

[ikbeer]

I'd do this but I also suck at shading
Edit: I really appreciate all the advice everyone is giving me, thank you❤️

[watrewks]

Wow I always had an issue drawing hair in the past. Thank you.

[sonamtashi]

I am discovering it for the first time.

i was just gonna ignore your short but you just solved my life

[EclipseTheMoon_Webtoon]

This can be applied in just about every style. I still suck at hair cuz shading for me is super difficult with my art style, but it's honestly what all of the pros do.

Cartoony artists: "mhm, yep, I'm paying full attention and I will *definitely* use this information."

[silkie]

THANK YOU I REALLY NEEDED THIS FOR MY HOMEWORK

There's no "wrong way" to draw something. As long as YOU like it it's a success

[weebjeez]

What I really like about this video is that it really shows you the full process. And it also shows you the scale of the image. A lot of instructionals tend to skip or lump together too many steps and it makes the whole thing hard to comprehend.

Or they give you too much detail, to the point that you're learning to replicate a particular image.

But this gets the good points, and tells you why they're good.

This makes total sense to me except the way I learned how to draw hair is that one day I looked at an image of hair and it clicked in my head

[malinm]

This has got to be some of the most useful advice for hair I have ever gotten. Completely changed my view on drawing hair!

[dennisdustin]

I think I should reconsider continuing in this major :')

[Gummy_.official_.]

I'd love to be able to draw like this

[juniperflutegacha]

Thanks. I think this will make my drawings look a whole lot better and less messy.

[stanimirgeorgiev.]

Great. I make hair like primary geometric shape more like some like hard surface and then turn her to soft form like it is in the tutorial.

Totally loved the drawing of the kid! It conveys a whole lot of emotion and sweetness.
