How do you draw hairs? There are so many lines, I get lost while drawing or copying.
Hair isnt individual lines. Usually they are blocked via shapes. In your photo is the same. Then you paint it in with strokes.
>>7884444chunk them into larger 'shapes' and then split them up.
I draw them in a big clump like this. This is my OC archer girl Elffey.
>>7884444Draw an owl.. But seriously just think about biggest shapes and block them, than look wich directions they flow. Next you can refine them in smaller shapes and at last you go for details and maybe rendering.
>>7884566I have tried...
>>7884444Whatever...
I'm experimenting with rendering complex textures of hair. This was ballpoint pen followed by black gel ink pens deepening and defining dark shadows.
I suck ass at drawing and painting hair so I'll be watching this thread with great interest
>>7884444Jack Hamm's Head and figure book has a half decent section on drawing hair, so give that a look (in my opinion at least).I find a lot of the lines often are more so an indication of the light on the hair, or to show the shadow of a hair cluster, rather than to show individual hair strands.
>>7890802I love thisthe speech bubble with the sunset in it is great
>>7891038This is a work in progress. I am getting the best of black BIC ballpoint pens then onto black gel ink afterwards. I sm attempting to render wood textures of both table and mug, fairies lounging in back of a translucent glass carafe, and white hair flopping over whitish fur. And you can only learn how by trying. Trying to post this correctly for instance.
And let's see how another photo of tis will look.
>>7890886I should take a look then.>>7890802>>7891337I don't know how you manage to pull this off...
>>7895237Still figuring it out, actually. Moved onto the gel inking,but you can see what I need to deal with. What is visible through the nimbus of hair? And how to render hair on fur.
>>7896055you should really watch the Crumb documentary and consider his brother. make sure you arent slipping into graphomania. like your stuff tho
>>7896060Every new project is a learning experience. I started with a portrait and composed the rest around her making it a continuation of a story I did a year or so ago. This is now Mostly Finished, and I can set it down before it turns black. Black gel ink was the finishing touch, and I tried to stop with it sooner than later. My " I Forgive You " was too attacked by gel ink and I learned my lesson then.
