How To Draw Female Hair

How to Draw Realistic Hair

Step 1: Start with Volume

Hair shouldn't lie flat on the scalp. Add some volume around the head to create a more natural look.

Step 2: Sketch the Basic Shape

Start by sketching the basic shape of the hair. Use light strokes and don't worry about getting it perfect at this point.

Step 3: Add Details

Once you have the basic shape, you can start adding details. This includes individual strands of hair, highlights, and shadows.

Step 4: Blend and Smooth

Once you have added all the details, it's time to blend and smooth the hair. This will help to create a more polished look.

Step 5: Add Highlights and Shadows

Highlights and shadows will help to give your hair dimension and realism. Use a light source to determine where the highlights and shadows should be placed.

Step 6: Finish Up

Once you're happy with the way your hair looks, you can finish up by adding any final details, such as flyaways or stray hairs.
