Hi! I really love the way you do hair - do you have any sort of little mini tutorial of how you do it, usually?
Hi!! Thank you so much!!
Tbh I mostly go with the flow but I did keep some layers on my latest illustration so I'll try and explain it haha. (also please ignore my bad handwriting, maybe I should've used the text tool but uh too late)
I try to think about the flow of the hair in my sketch, and then continue to keep it throughout the rendering process.
After the color and first pass of shadows I merge the sketch down and I start to paint, while continuing to keep those shapes I had in the beginning. Sometimes I go too overboard and have to go back a little.
And then at the end I add a few strands of hair going outside of the shapes for some last details.
Idk how much this helps since it can change from time to time, but I hope it explains it somewhat!
