How To Draw 3 Different Hairstyles!

Hey everyone and welcome back to my channel today is another tutorial for you all. This has been highly requested, so this is three different hairstyles and I'm also teaching you guys how to draw like a basic hair strand. So I really hope you enjoy. If you want to see how I did these three just keep watching, and I will speak to you all soon before I get into the hairstyles, the first thing I want to talk about is how to draw a chunk of hair. So basically, what I do is I start out with an S shape. You can really modify this S shape. You can make it tighter for more curly, curls or looser for a straighter hair, but this is basically how I start out any hairstyle, which is why I wanted to start with this first. So now all you have to do is just mirror that first line you drew and connect it at the bottom, and then your gon na go in that middle part of the hair and do another s-shaped curve and bring it down to the bottom and your gon Na connect the two and then you're, gon na, add more detail into the center, which I believe is the fun part. But I don't like to add too much detail because I like to color it later. I believe I say this again and later in the video, but you can add as much detail as you want. Definitely look at references. I highly recommend that go on Pinterest. I have a Pinterest board. I will link it down below for you all, so you can go. Look at my hair board. I have tons it's a great way to practice. So just fill your sketchbook with a bunch of different hairstyles and I promise hair will be a lot easier. Now I'm going in and adding more flyaways. I believe this really brings the hair to life, so go ahead on more flyaways, make it your own and have fun that's the main thing. So there are three characters here and we are gon na. Do three different hairstyles on them? One will be a ponytail, one will be a more wavy, curly hairstyle and then one will be braids so when drawing a ponytail you're first gon na start off with the placement of the rubber band. If it's a high ponytail like I'm, drawing you're, going to put it at the top of the head and if it's a low ponytail, you can put it near the bottom of the head, and now we are going to draw her hairline. First, we'll start with her sideburn, which starts at the top of her ear and then it'll go up towards the top of the forehead. So this is like her hairline. So once we are finished with this, we are going to draw the hair going into the ponytail. So you're gon na make some volume at the top, usually right at the top of the forehead, and you want to have kind of a lift from the skull, because the hair won't lie totally flat on the head unless you're doing more of a sleek ponytail. But even then I try to add a little bit of volume and then it just follows that basic skull shape, which is why I left it there for you guys to see, and then you are just gon na, follow that shape down to the bottom of the Head and then at the bottom, the hair kind of connects to the nape of the neck. So now we are adding the hair being pulled into the ponytail, so we drew that ponytail holder there. First, because I want to remind everyone that the hair is going to be pulled into that ponytail, so all of the hair on top of the head needs to be facing that direction and then towards the bottom. It'S going to be pulled up towards that ponytail holder. So having that drawn there in the beginning is really useful in a great tool to have. If you want your hair to be up so now we're gon na add the actual ponytail. So what you're gon na do first is make that line because remember: there's volume and hair, so you're gon na make that line going upwards and then you're gon na make that S shape that I taught you how to do in the beginning, depending on how curly Or straight you want the hair to be. You can kind of extend that S shape. I have mine pretty extended, but more curly on the bottom and then you're, just gon na mirror that line that you made and there's the basic shape of the ponytail and then we're gon na go in and add some more detail, and I think that is the Really fun part about having your hair up is, you can add a lot of flyaways, because that's how hair is so just experiment and have fun, and now I'm going in and adding more detail to the inside of the hair. This is really fun. I really enjoy doing this. I'M wrapping the hair around that main shape I made in the beginning and then the hair, the ponytail is finished. You can modify this any way you want. If you want more of a half-up half-down, you can have the bottom portion of hair actually out and over her shoulder. So you get up kind of like an ariana grande ponytail kind of look. I try to make these pretty easy to modify so now. I am finishing up by adding a couple little flyaways and you can really add these wherever you want, but I'd like to add them right near the ear and sometimes at the bottom of the neck, and also near the the top of the ponytail and at the Top of the forehead, so our next hairstyle is going to be a wavy, slash, curly, half-up, half-down top knot. This is really popular around Pinterest and everything, and also a very popular request. So first we're gon na start off. With that hair line like we did with the ponytail, basically all of these have similar steps. So, that's why I kind of wanted to show you that most of the steps I'm going to teach you apply to most hairstyles so now we're gon na. Do that volume at the top she's kind of facing in a quarter view. So it's easier to see her hair, so we're gon na pull it upward towards the top and gon na make that little circle to show that we're gon na put a top top there, and I have a video on my Instagram about how to draw a bun. So I'm gon na kind of speed through this process a little bit just so I can move on to the part that I haven't actually talked about yet so now we are going to draw the shape that the hair is making. So when you're, looking at the hairstyle kind of map out the shape that the hair is in so when it's curly, I kind of make kind of wavy shapes around the head to kind of map out where everything is gon na be now. You can always play with this later and add. You know hairs sticking out of that shape. This is just to get a basic idea of where you want everything to be so now. I'M gon na go in and add more details, I'm gon na add a chunk of hair near the side of her face kind of covering the her ear and everything so having that part marked marked out before you start drawing the hair kind of helps, you decide Where everything's gon na be and how the hair will lay on the face, because if it's laying near the jaw, it's gon na kind of have a bend to it or if it's laying behind the ear it's gon na bend behind the ear. So having that kind of basic head shape with an ear planned out is really nice to have before you practice hair. Just so, you know where everything's gon na lay now I'm going in and adding the rest of your hair detail, so we're just gon na, since this is a more curly hair. We'Re gon na have those as shapes but they're gon na be a little bit tighter. More s-shaped, then elongated s-shaped and then you're just going to mirror that and kind of have the curls go in different directions. It helps it look a little bit more natural and now we're going to go into the pulling the hair back and the button. I'M not going to talk too much about this, because I did talk about this on my Instagram. So if you wanted to find that video, it is on my IG TV page, and there is the finished wavy topknot hairstyle, so the next hairstyle we're gon na do is a braid. This was by far the most requested on in the comments section of this post. So we are gon na, do just a simple side braid, and you can pretty much apply this to any braid hairstyle that you decide to do so. Like the rest of the hairstyles. We were going to start by giving her her volume at the top of the head where the hair starts, and then I'm going to give her a little side. Part, and also I wanted to talk about how and when the head is facing forward. The hair is gon na start near the back of the ear, so I kind of have it started at the tip point of the ear. That way, it looks like it's going more behind her head than just sitting on the side of it. So the next thing we're gon na do is draw a line. This is like the line of action when you were planning a pose in anatomy, but I use it for braids. So basically, I'm just gon na draw that line, and I'm gon na put it over her shoulder and kind of over her arm. Using this line helps you plan out where the braids gon na be, and also how its situated over different body parts. So, for example, this is over the shoulder, so it's gon na have kind of a curve. So you could see that the hair is going over it and not just sitting on top of it and now we're just going to add two extra lines right beside it. But make sure they're kind of further away from the middle of it. That way, you have more space to draw the actual, braid yeah and just mirror the two sides and then connect them at the bottom and then you're gon na do is add a little ponytail holder at the bottom and then draw your chunk of hair. So if you really look at braids like if you look at someone with a braid in their hair, it really looks like the shape of a heart, except the lines, don't stop at the top. They go all the way down word. So that's what I like to do for my braids, I like to make more of an angular heart shape, so at the top of course, it's gon na be the biggest you're gon na draw your biggest chunk or the biggest side of your heart that you're gon Na do and then you're gon na connect it to the to the other side. So since this is kind of a side braid, you can't see the other side very well, it's kind of behind your ear, so I'm just gon na make a small little connection to the side and you can make your braids more heart shaped like I show right Here but connect it all the way to the bottom of the heart I like to do a more angular braid, just because I think it I don't know, I think it fits my style better, but sometimes I will do a more softer, heart-shaped braid. It kind of reminds me of Rapunzel a little bit and as your braid gets towards the bottom of your hair, it's gon na start to get smaller, so it's eat with each braid make sure that is slightly getting smaller and also when you're drawing a braid. You want to make sure that the line doesn't exactly line up to the braid before, if that makes any sense try to like have it connect a different way that way, it doesn't look perfectly, even because a braid isn't perfectly even so, in this portion of the Video, my head is in the way for most of it, so I'm very sorry about that, but you can basically follow the steps I told you about when I was beginning the braid you're just gon na make it smaller towards the end and then connect it to The chunk of hair at the bottom now we're gon na work on the top portion of her head. I'M gon na give her a side, bang and maybe some flyaways at the corner. Sorry, my head's in the way again very annoying, but I need to figure out a way to solve that problem has happened a few times that have had to re-record things so yeah, I'm giving her an a side, break a side, bun side plate. Like me, you I finished off the braid by adding the last extra details. You can always add more if you want to. This is just my personal style.
