How to draw a girl with beautiful hair with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Simple drawing for kids and beginners.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Draw the head
Start drawing by sketching the entire head shape (including the ears). Doing so will give you a better estimate of the volume of your hair. It can also help you avoid making mistakes.
Step 2
Draw the hairline
Some distance forming the top of the head draws the hairline. This again helps to avoid any potential mistakes like having gaps between different curls growing too far on the head.
Step 3
Draw the outline of the hair
On top of the head artboard, add an outline of the main hair shape/shape. At this stage, don’t worry about picking up small curls but instead focus on the overall volume and large shape to define the hairstyle.
Medium length hair like in this example will tend to “hug” to the face. Which means it will curve towards China and it will go down.
To prevent your drawing from becoming too messy, erase the ends that are covered by the hair once you’re done. You can also erase the hairline.
Step 4
Add some details
Gradually add smaller folds and curls to better define its shape. You can erase parts of the border from the previous step if needed.
Step 5
Finish drawing lines
In the end, you will have a line drawing with many details similar to the example above.
Step 6
start shading
All of the examples in this tutorial will use fairly general lighting without a particularly strong unidirectional light source.
The main goal of this step is to apply an initial layer of shadow to define the light, medium and dark areas of the hair.
Try creating shadows in such a way that they flow along different curls and folds. Also, try to keep your strokes a bit visible (don’t blend them too much) to create the effect of each strand of hair as you shade.
Be careful not to press the pencil too hard as you’ll want to darken your shadows to avoid mistakes such as making mid-tone (light gray) areas too dark compared to the shadow areas.
Step 7
Enhance the ball
Refine shadows by creating smoother gradients between neutral, light, and “in the dark” areas of your hair. You can also make the shadows a little darker.
Step 8
Finished hair drawing
Darken the overall drawing until you have a good balance between the different hair areas. Make sure to keep highlights and mid-tones visible by leaving some space between them.
Once done, you can do some quick pencil strokes on top of the different clumps to create the look of each strand. Do this by first pressing harder on the pencil and then quickly pulling it out of the paper. These can help make hair look softer and more natural.
