I’ve Been Looking Through Your Art Tutorials And My Gosh They Are So Amazing Because They Really Taught

I’ve been looking through your art tutorials and my gosh they are so amazing because they really taught me a lot !!! I appreciate them and your artwork !! Anyways, I have a question: How do you draw hair? How can you make it not so stiff; like the wind is blowing or youre putting it into a ponytail?

Art tip: Make the thing you least enjoy drawing the most interesting and fun part to create, everything gets easier from there

I love, love, love drawing hair. Specifically extremely curly hair. I myself don’t have curly hair, but I’ve always loved how it looks. Even when I draw characters with assumed straight hair (Red Son, MK, Link, Mei, all those guys) I make their hair very wavy, as if water is constantly moving through it. Now, hold onto your hats, but my style of drawing hair comes from many, many, many different sources. Down below are just the most accurate ones I could find in my photos alone through all my references.

Do not, I repeat, do NOT DRAW YOUR STYLE FROM A SINGLE SOURCE. Your art will become as stagnant as a puddle of water in a forest. You will get bored and burnt out. With me, scrolling through all my favorite art, making references with my own body, taking photos and researching what I need to add into my work to bring more life to it, keeps my work smooth and my artistic mind happy and stimulated. This is where the drawing part actually begins.

Reminder that hair doesn't come out of a single point from your head. Hair grows out of your WHOLE HEAD, not just the, uuhhh, whatever the fuck that little spiral thing in your hair is called. I make my hair layered and choppy to show as much density and weight as possible
