This is how I drew the curly hair on my last original artwork! 🥰💕
And YES it IS possible to do this without the special brush!!! I mentioned it since this little guide is an explanation of how I did it in that illustration (and i wanted to feature this cool FREE brush)!!!!

hey holo mom! i was wondering if you had any tips on how to make hair loose like yours? i'm an artist myself but the way i draw hair looks pretty stiff and i'd like to draw mine all loose and fluff, similar to yours! hope you're having a great day and remember to take breaks whenever you need them
yep I have a trick;
Tumblr media
After I finish the figure, I'm picking the same brush that I use for drawing figure. My brush is round, has no fade effect and texture.
Tumblr media
then I pick a random color to get ready to start drawing the hair (it's helping me to not to confuse hair layer with others). The trick is; giving out lines to brush strokes. For ps; click on current layer which is hair layer aka my Layer 4 copy > Stroke > Outside. You can use my settings, but the colors and sizes are depends on ur choice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
with this layer setting, every brush stroke is fuse together and create a lineart effect. At this stage, I freely draw the hair as I like (creating extra messy hair strings etc to make the hair look more natural and fluffy). Another lil trick: I'm using another layer w/ different colors for different parts of the hair. So I can see the back parts.
Tumblr media
If i like the brush strokes, I'm lowering the opacity of the hair layer around %30-50. Then I start drawing my clean and detailed lines over it. Sometimes I change a lots of detail at this stage, it's totally ok.
I use brush stroke hair technique as a guide to draw hair and re-drawing over it. But I saw some artists that drawing hair in this way and avoiding the lineart stage. They're mostly adding details and painting over the plain color layer. It's all about your choice.
hope it helps ✨

I thought some of the lines in Obie's hair were stylistic nonsense until I realized it's new growth that hasn't been added to his wicks yet

how do you draw hair
Idk how old this is or if this anon is still active BUT this is the number 1 question I get asked when I visit schools and libraries too, SO
Tumblr media
Firstly hair tends to look weird if you just try to draw every strand, like in the first picture. It's better to divide it into bigger chunks! Also illustrated in color for clarity.
Tumblr media
The shape of these chunks determined the type of hair (straight, wavy, curly, coily).
Tumblr media
Start with a bald head and decide where the hairline goes. There isn't just one type of hairline!
Tumblr media
Then, if you're drawing long hair, decide where it parts. Does it part in the middle or on the side? Then draw the general shape of the hair falling like curtains from the parting. Erase the part of the head that's covered in hair, and divide the hair into pretty chunks!
Tumblr media
If you're drawing shorter hair, instead of deciding where it parts you decide where the main...uh...swirl??? is located. Then use that to draw the direction of the chunks as you draw the general shape of the hair first, then erasing the now hidden part of the head. And lastly, you add more chunks and detail!
If you live in Norway I have a whole-ass book with this stuff.

Figuring out how to draw hair
I always think that I can just draw something off the cuff and quickly. But for me personally it rarely works out. For the comic I ended up working out how I would construct Tristan's hair, what it would look like from different angles. It took me maybe 20 minutes in a sketch book.

The funny thing is, is that once I had figured it out, I was then able to draw it off the cuff from memory. Play around with the shapes and be a bit looser.

How I Draw Hair: Part 1
As promised to @myearts-uwu here is my tutorial on how I do hair!
@sanhatipal I think you might be interested in this too, fren!! :D
Other people are free to follow this tutorial too, of course!
Tumblr media
The first five brushes (technically four because I accidentally duplicated the blur brush and forgot to delete it oops) are the only brushes I normally use to complete a whole artwork. I still haven't yet figured out any of the other brushes. The program I am using is FireAlpaca, but I'm sure this will work with other programs too.
Stage 1: Draw the hair
Tumblr media
For this tutorial I won't be using a whole head of hair but use this little bit as my example.
Stage 2: Pick out the palette
Now it's time to pick your colours! With my method you will need 5: base colour, darker colour, darkest colour, lighter colour, lightest colour. Here are some examples of the palettes I've used in the past:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The outlier one was the palette which served for two characters instead of one, they both had red hair but one was a darker red than the other so I didn't bother making a new palette.
Tumblr media
Now you might've noticed the notes I've made on some of the palettes. There will be one layer for each colour, and the layer modes can vary between darken or multiply for the two darker colours and screen, add or overlay for the two lighter colours. Mostly I stick to just screen for the lighter colours, add doesn't tend to work out so well. For the darker colours I tend to use darken-multiply or darken-darken or multiply-multiply depending on the colours I've already chosen and the final shade I want to achieve.
Stage 3: Fill in the base colour
Tumblr media
Make a layer below your lineart, and fill in the base colour with the basic pen brush!
Stage 4: First darker colour
Tumblr media
Then you will paint in the second darkest colour, also with the basic pen brush. You want to leave a moderate window between the two sides, but not too big or not too small. I unfortunately don't have a way to put it in words so you'll just have to feel through it. I'm using multiply mode here.
I have reached the image limit so this will have to be broken up into parts! The other parts will be in the reblogs.

I rly like making these. At first, I found balancing social media with drawing but now, I actually enjoy the back and forth. There are so many things I could focus on that I (almost) never feel bored
