Today, we share hair drawing tutorials to you!


Many find lighter values of hair-such as blond, gray, and white-hard to represent in a portrait because, no matter how hard we try, a dark line, in and if itself, cannot represent a light strand of hair.

As I teach in the 5-Pencil Method, there are a few steps that you should follow to create realistic light-colored hair. With the same five pencils we used to create dark brown hair, we can create lifelike blond hair as well.

hair drawing tutorials is about adding value, dimension, and depth, around the hair, leaving a negative space to represent the 'lighter hair.'

Create a foundation
Even when hair drawing tutorials, I still utilize my 2B pencil, because we will use the extra lead to distribute into the lighter areas of the hair with our brush. However, because you're using one of the darker pencils, you will need to regulate your pressure to ensure that your lines, or value, can be remove if needed.

If you're new to drawing hair with the 5-Pencil Method, I start with my 2B pencil to lay an initial foundation, and then use my camel-hair brush to blend the extra lead onto the paper to create the base.

Follow the three rules of light
This is how your mind interprets light-anything that is lighter will come forward, anything that is darker will recede farther back, and anything the same value will be flat. So, in essence, what we'll do to is create a 'negative' and allow the light areas to represent the strands of hair, and the darker recesses to represent the depth and shaded areas of the hair drawing tutorials.
Your mind will do marvelous things in translating what it sees if we create some of the necessary ingredients for it to justify its interpretation.
