Here’s a step-by-step guide to drawing female hair, capturing its flow, texture, and volume. You can use these steps to draw different hairstyles, whether straight, wavy, curly, or any other style!
Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing Female Hair
- Draw the Head Shape:
- Start by drawing an oval or circle to represent the head. This will serve as a base for the hair and help you position the hairline correctly.
- Define the Hairline:
- Draw a curved line a little below the top of the head to indicate the hairline. This line will guide where the hair starts. For a natural look, make the line slightly uneven or angled.
- Sketch the Overall Hair Shape:
- Lightly sketch the outline of the hair around the head, focusing on the volume and general shape. Female hair often has more volume on the sides and top, so let the outline extend slightly away from the head shape.
- Determine the hair length and style (short, shoulder-length, long, etc.). Draw an outer shape that follows the desired length and flow, such as straight, wavy, or curly.
- Add the Parting and Sections:
- Decide where the hair will part (middle, side, etc.). Draw a line to indicate the parting, and use it as a guide to draw sections of hair falling naturally from the part.
- For a side part, have more hair on one side. For a middle part, keep the sections equal.
- Draw Individual Strands and Locks:
- Begin refining the hair by adding more detailed strands or locks. Start with larger chunks or locks to establish the flow of the hair.
- Use curved lines to follow the direction of the hair. For straight hair, draw long, smooth lines. For wavy or curly hair, draw more curved or spiral-like lines.
- Add Texture and Layers:
- Add layers to the hair by drawing additional lines within the larger sections. The lines should vary in length and curve to create a natural, layered look.
- Focus on different directions and thicknesses to give depth and movement to the hair. For curly hair, add more spirals and loops to mimic the curl pattern.
- Refine the Hair Tips and Ends:
- Pay attention to the ends of the hair, making them look slightly wispy or pointed to enhance the natural look.
- For straight hair, keep the ends more uniform. For curly or wavy hair, let the ends twist or curl.
- Add Highlights and Shadows:
- Add shading to the areas where the hair is naturally darker (like under layers or where the hair is tucked behind the ear). This adds depth and makes the hair look more three-dimensional.
- Leave some areas lighter or add soft lines to suggest highlights, which can make the hair look shiny.
- Outline and Detail the Hair:
- Go over the main lines with a darker pencil or pen to outline the hair, emphasizing the strands and locks you want to stand out.
- Erase any unnecessary sketch lines to clean up the drawing.
- Finalize the Drawing:
- Review the drawing for any final touches. Add extra details, shading, or highlights as needed to complete the look.
Tips:
- Volume: Make the hair slightly bigger than the head to give it volume. Hair rarely lies flat against the scalp.
- Flow: Follow the natural flow of the hair. Imagine how it falls or moves in different directions.
- Texture: Use different line techniques to indicate texture (e.g., smooth lines for straight hair, more jagged or looped lines for curly hair).
