I wanna learn to draw hair. I can only seem to draw the shape of the hair but idk what to do after that. What do I draw on the inside? The hair just looks stiff overall and also idk how to render it. Do you guys have any resources, tips or information that can help me? I’d really appreciate it!

i do cartoons but personally i try to add detail using lines (like to show texture), but shading can do the heavy lifting. the easiest way to make hair look less stiff (imo) is just letting it flow and curve and go crazy yk? it’s one of the free-est parts of a drawing to me cuz hair does whatever it wants irl, so it might as well do the same in art.

#

also if you need help shading esp more detailed hair i’d look at some of angel ganev’s videos on shading from youtube

i think he explains stuff pretty well. also, here’s a video from him on it
