Drawing process

Instruments

The most needed in drawing is the correct selection of tools. The drawing of the hairproof is similar in this plan on drawing the rest of the body.
Need:

• Pencils. The Derwent brand is suitable.
• Another pencils, but already mechanical. With thin, 0.5 mm soft and hard-roofing styles. HB and 4B, respectively.
• Suitable eraser.

Volume of hair

1. The next step in drawing is to giving hair hair. It should be borne here that the hair is lying on the head, but they do not look like a wig on a doll. In order not to make a mistake, do not "miss" part of the volume or not cut off part of the skull when drawing, the drawing is always starting with the drawing of the skull.
2. No need to go into details, it is enough to make a small sketch to determine the extreme dots. After that, you can outline the extreme points hairstyle - if the hair is long, then the height of the hair will be about 2 cm, and the sides of the head will have a thickness of 2-3 cm.

The direction of hair

1. Depending on the human or weather conditions shown in the figure, the hair direction will be fluent. In many respects, it depends on their length and structure. For example, long hair in a calm state is always "directed" down. At the same time, they fall on the shoulders, framing them, and firmly adjacent to the head under their weight.
2. At the sketch stage, they will resemble liquid rather, so the strokes are made free and simple, barely touching the paper with a pencil.

Shadows and halftones, game of light

1. Before the start of drawing shadows and the semi-shutters should be decided on the source of light. Most of the hairprook will still remain in the shade, but this will allow you to outline bright areas.
2. If the artist uses a photograph as a reference, then contrast increases to determine the source of light. This changes the image, at the same time it helps to determine all types of tones.
3. After that, take a pencil of another color or rigidity and applied on the sketch of the limiting lines. They will lie just among those lying on top of each other strands. The fact that they determine which specifically the sparkles will fall from the sun, and allocate them from the total mass of future hair. For this, longitudinally darke the remaining curls.
4. The shadows are drawn along those lines that fall light.

Texture of strands

1. At this stage, it is absolutely no need to paint each individual hairs. In fact, this stage is considered the easiest and therefore beloved many artists. Its important part of it is considered the correct hatching and control of the movement of the pencil.
2. To give the length and smooth bends to long lines when moving the pencil is easier when the focus falls on the upper half of the hand up to the shoulder, and not to the brush itself.
3. At darkened areas do not save force, it is enough just to draw along the location of the curls. For lightening areas with an uneven end of the elder and eliminate the part of the drawn lines in the selected direction. He immediately blocked and not to breed the dirt, eraser is a clutch about a clean block of paper after each application.
4. At this stage, details add or eliminate unnecessary to achieve greater realistic.

Trick drawing hair

• When working on the first strokes, experienced artists recommend alternating pencils with different thickness and varying degrees of deposit. At the same time, when drawing, a place is taken into account where the light goes - there is a touche or very weak, or no. Strokes to the glare must be directed towards it, while becoming thinner when approaching.
• At the second stage, a pencil with a soft blade is useful to draw darker clear lines. And also inaccurate after using 6V to fill the rear of a weak hint of the presence in those places of strands, almost invisible to the eye due to bright light. For greater mirror, glare or to demonstrate the saturation of the picture with the light, the overgrown do not touch at all. Sometimes they even make more with the facility.
• When drawing hair tips, it is recommended to start drawing from the beginning to the end so that the ends are narrowed and did not look like chopped.
• Hair drawing is not just a boring location of the same lines. In the process of drawing to give the hairstyle, you can play with the location of the strand, drawing and confused strands, and the scorched scaldings of the hair or short strands.
• If dashes are not long enough or look chopped, the pencil takes as far as possible from the stylus to remove the stress from the wrist. This makes it possible to move the hand more freely and the hatching will come out perfectly smooth, and the line is long. Before the drawing head with hair, it is recommended to practice in drawing separate hair and strands, bizarre twisted or lying on the shoulders. This will make it possible to feel more confident when drawing a portrait.

Draw the hair with due skill is not so difficult. If you manage to avoid errors at the stage of drawing the main lines, then in the future everything will be passed as oil. The main thing is not to forget the small tricks of hair performance.
