Step 1

First, let's start with the basics. To draw hair, we need to first sketch the outline of the head and neck. Then, we can add details like the hairline and scalp.

Step 2

When sketching the hair, it's important to keep the shape of the head in mind. Unless the hair is moving, it should follow the shape of the head.

Step 3

To help you understand the different sections of the hair, I like to divide it into three parts: the bangs, the side hair, and the rest of the hair. However, this may vary depending on your character's hairstyle. For example, if your character has a ponytail or twin tails, you may need to divide it into several sections.

Step 4

Now it's time to add more details to the hair! Remember to use the guiding lines from the previous steps. Having these guidelines will make drawing much easier.

Step 5

As you add more details, pay attention to how the hair interacts with other objects, like the character's body.

Step 6

Keep in mind the forces of gravity and movement, as they will affect the direction of the hair. Just like with clothing, the direction of the hair should follow the laws of physics.

Let's say you want to draw a simple ponytail, but you can't see the hair parting because of all the overlapping hair. In this case, you'll want to start by drawing basic shapes for the bangs and the ponytail.

Next, divide the top and sides of the head into three sections that all connect to the top of the ponytail. This will help you get the proportions and placement just right.

Lastly, add details to show more hair volume!

When it comes to drawing hair, the parting can change depending on the hairstyle. For example, if you're drawing comma bangs, the hair parting will be uneven, with one section of hair larger than the other. The hair will also wrap around the head in a specific way.

To draw comma bangs, start by sketching three rough shapes for the bangs. These shapes should all connect back to the hair parting. With a little practice, you'll be able to create beautiful comma bangs that look just right.
