Drawing hair from templates for beginners: 20 tips

Important factors when drawing hair

1. Practice the different strands: Each hair has its own shape and texture, so it's important to practice the different strands before attempting to draw entire hairstyles.

2. Use fine pens: Use fine pens like pencils or fineliners to draw fine lines for the hair.

3. Use Shading: Use shading to add depth and dimension to your hair.

4. Use Light Sources: Pay attention to the light sources and how they affect the hair to create realistic highlights and shadows.

5. Use the template as a reference: Use the template as a reference, but don't let it limit you. You can stick to them, but you must also let your own creativity run free.

6. Use the whole brush: Use the whole brush to color in the hair and avoid leaving the brush in one place.

7. Use Different Colors: Use different colors to add depth and texture to your hair.

9. Use Lines to Define Shape: Use lines to define the shape and swing of the hair.

10. Use Shading to Texturize Hair: Use shading to texturize hair, giving it more depth and dimension.

11. Practice using light and shadow: Practice using light and shadow to make the hair look more realistic.

12. Use Fine Lines to Define Strands: Use fine lines to define strands and create the illusion of volume and movement.

13. Choose a good template: A good template shows the hair from different angles and lets you better understand its structure and movement.

14. Study the template: Spend time looking closely at the hair and understanding how it moves and its direction.

15. Make Sketches: Practice drawing the hair by practicing it with sketches in different styles and directions.

16. Use Different Textures: Experiment with different textures to make the hair look more realistic.

17. Practice Shading: Practice shading the hair to add depth and dimension.
