Description YAY another tutorial. I said I'd do some more, so here I am. A tutorial on hair! A bit random, I know. Anyways, this is just Part 1, which gets into hair movement and flow, and the forces that control them. Part two will focus more on technique and different hairstyles

PART 1: [link]
PART 2: [link]
PART 3: [link]
PART 4: Coming Soon!

Thanks! This should help a lot. I like that you explained how it should look when hair is under water.

DarlingMionette In reply to 331060 [2010-08-03 16:03:21 +0000 UTC]

thank you yah, i cant tell you how many time i avoided drawing under-water characters because I just didn't know where to start when it came to their hair -_- and almost no one has tutorials on what it should look like. when I really thought about it (for this tutorial) though, it was like "oh.. i knew all along..." now i feel stupid XD

DarlingMionette In reply to kAngeLxD [2010-08-03 18:25:38 +0000 UTC]

thank you XD ive never really considered myself good at drawing under-water people, so doing this tutorial was bit of an exercise in itself, i feel better knowing i accomplished my goal ^^

kAngeLxD In reply to DarlingMionette [2010-08-11 21:39:10 +0000 UTC]

Oh, sure u did)) Hm, may be i also should practice some "exotic", as i call it), movements or emotions, cuz i didn't draw for so long o.O... Anyway, I was wondering, what could i post as my first art work? can u help me, cuz i cant think of anything -_-'

SophiaDragonMaster In reply to ??? [2010-08-03 15:12:12 +0000 UTC]

That was a pretty well explained tutorial! I rarely see hair tuto that are completely useful, sometimes they just have one or two logical tips...I love how here there are explanation about the physics and all.

Thanks for sharing!

IT'S A CONSPIRACY! You don't end up drawing hair, you end up winning the 'nigerian lottery'!
