To learn how to draw hair less streaky, do the following exercise:.
Exercise 2: Copy a number of the following hairstyles. Start each time with an egg-shaped head and the eyes about halfway down.
Finally three examples of completely different ways of drawing hair.
Example 1: In this side view, only the contour (outline) of the hair has been drawn. Her ear lies half hidden behind the curly hair with a lush tail.
Example 2: A niece asked me in 2011 for a drawing of her favorite pop star Justin Bieber. Here the hair is drawn like a kind of soft wool cap. Soft hatches create shadow and indicate the direction of the hair
Example 3: ‘Sorrow’ is a beautiful drawing by a talented student. The hair has been completely blackened with a very soft pencil. It stands out even more because the rest of the drawing is mainly drawn in clear lines. These kinds of contrasts can be very beautiful in a drawing.
Example 4: In a painting by the Italian artist Crivelli, the direction of the wavy hair is drawn in a very stylized manner. Shadows then give the hair volume.
