In this tutorial I show you how to draw hair. How most people approach it the wrong way, and how to get the hair to look 3-dimensional instead of looking like spaghetti...

You have a talent for teaching. Most teachers do not have it.
yankeedrifter81 sadly
I agree
Maybe that's why i never learn nothing
Or maybe i'm just idiot
So true😂
True
On point
"drawing hair requires patience" oh man, i don't have any of that.
Jeremy Neill lol xD I can so relate
Jeremy Neill I can relate
Then don’t draw.
It’s actually not as difficult once you have it all setup. This entire process is pretty much how I’ve pencil rendered and painted hair and all it is is working from general to specific. Now if you’re not used to working this way, I will admit this will have a learning curve as you’re basically learning how to see all over again. Though, if you did the entire portrait this way, the hair would just be another element in an entire design and would all flow together properly.
Me either. Oh, you mean patience...
i want to cry
Your not the only one
you're not alone
i want to cry too!
+Nick i (Nickie) My girlfriend broke up with me just a few days ago and I already have bought her a 120$ neckless for valentines day! I REALLY want to cry !!!! :'(
+Sr Eng Damn, sorry to read about that...
lol...anyone else notice his hair style kept changing?
HAHA XD your right!
Ivanliuks you're
thanks Sherlock, you can go home now
yup the first thing!☺
yes:)
Damn Proko, you are phenomenal. I’m starting in an 8 week drawing class next month and your videos are the best I’ve ever seen. I realize that, while I am inexperienced at drawing, I’m more inexperienced at TRULY seeing. Thanks to your tutorials I’m starting to look at everything in relation to their plane. Stay well
James Rossi with that, you’re going to be well ahead of the game than most. The biggest stumbling block to drawing period is learning how to really see things. The tones, values, planes, and shapes. You get that right and you can pretty much draw anything. Biggest thing of advice I will give you as a budding artist, if something isn’t working, never cease to go back to those basics. You’ll be surprised how much the problems are usually at the starting line of the foundation.
Actually showing the person drawing makes a huge difference
I HAD A GREAT IDEA
JUST PORTRAIT A BALD GUY
BIG BRAIN
yeah a bald female , why didn't I think of that
@@zuko8946 Check out the big brain on Brad... Forreal doe: like 95% of my drawings are bald people lmao
Mr. clean.
Harvard wants to know your location.
"we just jumped in and start scratching away"
bro y u gotta call me out? very nice video tho,very educational
I am loving your videos. I'm the cliched teenage artist who let my skills atrophy through my early adulthood and at 35 have started retraining myself.
Your lessons have given me the confidence to start up again in a meaningful way and I already feel that I'm doing better than I ever have, while recognizing I still have a lifetime of improvement ahead of me!!!
Thanks and keep it up!
Same. Am 34 and finally realising how much I need to learn and practice.
proko master show some real time hair drawing demo, that would be helpful
do a how to draw torso male and female
this is not his acount. look at his name
Change that pictures
My worst enemy when it comes to drawing: *Hair*
Same. I just can't make it 3D!!
My worst enemy: the other eye.
My worst enemy: *HANDS*
My worst enemy : EVERYTHING
@@pavalbharathi 😂😂😂
I never had the time to try learn realistic drawing but now I have found some :D
I started watching tutorials and your tutorials have the best explanation and go straight to point.
Ever tried being an art professor at a uni?
Oh xD
Well now I know that you have experience :D
In the first place channels like your it the reason I ever stated using TH-cam :D
And TH-cam is a good platform to reach as many people as possible even more than TV can.
Like they say TH-cam is the new TV now hahah
there is a group of pencils called Graphite pencils it is graded from 9h to 9b , usually the HB or 2HB pencil is used to sketch, as for shading u must use various grades of pencils like 2B, 4B or even 6or7B, the darkest grades is the 8 & 9B, as for highlights u can use the Kneaded eraser and also the brush is used for shading, I hope that I helped u :)
Proko is really my hero..
How to draw anime hair:
Draw a pineapple, then give it a face.

Isnt that the guy in jjba part 5 with the fishing rod?
XD!!!!!!!!!!

Or just make a messy piece of clothes and you are done
How to draw Pesci
This video really helped me. I love drawing portraits and hair has always been my biggest issue when drawing. I always started with a bunch of strands- like many people- and always ended up frustrated when it turned out looking stringy. Doing it the way he did in the video makes so much more sense. I'm so happy I found this video.
" Drawing hair requires patience. "
Me : *Search for how to be patient*

@@Inksploded ooooohhhhhhh roasted
ive drawn my mother and father because of your tutorials thankz
Practice and patience! I love the tip about the 3d "shape" of each lock.
Very nice and compact as always! I love the way you approch teaching not doing case examples but teaching mindset and method. I think this toturial is most useful for people at an intermediate skill level who already know a bit about drawing but not specifically hair. Thanks!
O.o Am I the only one paying more attention to his hair changing every time than the tutorial at all?....
Oh my god :), I noticed it once then just couldn't concentrate on what he was saying :D
hahahaha, first thing I noticed. I even when back and start de video again to make sure i wasn´t imagining it
I've been drawing for years and I now understand how to draw hair, it clicked when you referenced the clay hair, nicely put! Thank you!
Hello old comment 👋
you are really one of the only few people that can make these things soo simply understood. awesome!
I love your channel! =)
thank you!
Hey 5 year later how's life lol
Man, you never change your intro. Which is awesome
How do you draw afro?
That killed me XD
It helps if you have Parkinsons
Charles Almon Holy shit LOL
Charles Almon I got essential tremor >.< Fucking hate it, when i'm drawing
Have you considered creating an the computer?
Or even PAINTING in style where your special movements
could create beautiful images never seen before?
Who knows,
Maybe Jackson Pollack has issues but was actually painting
in a realistic fashion.
Thank you for your great tutorial. I had watched so many tutorials on the hair, the nose, the eye,... but not until I watched you video that I can figure out how to do it quickly and correctly.
For ppl who said this is lack of step by step, I suggest you watch his basic video about shape, edge and value to get the basic, not just concentrating on the hair. This video will make much more sense after you've got the basic.
u still alive man ?
Hair texture comes in the last? Now I know why my hair drawings end up looking like a ball of wool.
I love that you kept changing how your hair looks trought out the video so that people can practice off of your hair thanks for that.
All your videos are worth watching.. I agree that you really can't teach everything for free. But everything you say here was more than enough. Thank you so much!
How is art 5 years later
This is one of the best tutorial-channel I`ve seen on TH-cam!
Wow, texture was the last step, I always thought it was the other way round o.O ¡Thumbs up!
Proko looked soo young!!
that picture is soo pretty
Hey how is art going on after 5 years
Hey... your tutorials are honestly the best... hope they increase in frequency.
Hi Proko. Do you have any videos on how to draw super curly hair. For example an afro, locks or the natural hair texture of a Black woman? I need help with that.
Not yet. I plan to do an advanced portrait course in the future that will cover things like different hair types.
Some of this I think I was already doing, but kind of backwards. I love the step technique you use, and the shading as the starting point. But then again, I just love to watch you draw.
u still alive man ?
awesome, also I swear your hair style changed in every shot. nice.
My friend your articulate explainations has just earned you a subscriber
Lost my shit when the wigged egg showed up.
oh god. at this scene right now
xD
Surprised no one's talking about just how fucking masterful an artist Proko is, even for someone who teaches tutorials.
this is easily my favorite hair tutorial and its not even really a tutorial lol
How is art going on
Dude I love your videos. Especially you're tutorial stuff. Before all I could draw was cartoons and now I'm drawing realistic people. Thanks a lot man x3
Thank you so much for these videos Stan, I always look forward to another vid. Thanks to you i'm learning how to draw humans without always copying a picture, my art has improved a lot thanks to you. Keep making great videos!
(And I have to ask, would you have some tips about drawing with graphite?)
You pack a lot of usful information into a short format. Thank you for both.
I love the dog the best.
I took art throughout school and I swear, these videos are more informative than any of my teachers were.
Your voice is so soothing... Although it makes my tired. D;
best tutorial so far...also not 20mins long. length of time really does not guarantee the quality of a tutorial. thanks!
Glad it helped!
you won a new subscriber with this video, thank you for this perfect explanation :D
u still alive man ?
@@sin-qw1uh still alive, I guess :))
@@MrBlankka7 years later how is art going
@@sin-qw1uh Well, I almost became an architect, I'm in my senior year, so I think it's pretty great. What are you doing here? :))
@@MrBlankka looking for people who started art long time ago
never have I ever learned about volume in any drawing class, this helps, alot.
omg, the dog. but seriously, great videos!
impressive explanation. short and concise. unlike those other tutorials that gets boring as it goes on.
i haaaaaaaaaate hair!!!
This is one of the best tutorials helping drawing hair I've ever seen
Take a look at what my friend is drawing. If you like it you can help him with subscribe th-cam.com/video/08Hs6bfsquQ/w-d-xo.html
@@Name-kb7kl thanks for recommending
his hair changes throughout the video, did anyone else notice? xD
+Tof Plays i did
me too
yeh
I noticed right away.
Sorry , i was reading the comments heeh
Hey Proko, thank you so much for your help. The hair for me is the hardest part of a portrait to draw but this tutorial has simplified drawing hair so much that I feel very confident when I next approach it. I never knew where to begin and made that mistake you pointed out of going straight in with the texture of strands. Thanks again.
How is art going 4 year later
that's some sexy hair.. * drools.. *
Hey how is art going on after 7 years
Hey how is art going on after 7 years
The shadow thing helped me so much wow.
Didáctico y PERFECTO!! COMO SIEMPRE
Muchas GRACIAS!!
It’s funny that proko is still replying to new comments on a old video
If people have questions on an old lesson, we're going to answer em! We're here to teach!
can you do some speed drawing instead of skipping everything and only show result?
it still help a lot but as an amateur I still got lost from each step to the next one
Yeah I think I'm gonna watch some hair speed paints after this
Big fan sir you are the best teacher explaining really in datailed!!!🙏
Young proko heheh
Sounds so simple when you explain it,but it’s so goddamn hard to draw!!!Especially when you’re a beginner and whose hair you’re trying to draw is Marylin Monroe’s SUPER curly and voluminous hair(((
0:12 Bro looks baked
i believe that you are best drawer i've seen,through my school years i have filled lots of notebooks,still learning though,this is where i get my learning done,on this chanel,everything is exactly as i want to learn...thank you
i press like before watching >.so helpful :)))
ridiculously helpful as always, thanks proko
This video was helpful but out of the hundred of videos on the subject people always explain but don't really show the actual drawing. I realise that most people don't want to watch a long video but artist are more patient. I feel as if this video could of been done with audio only. I guess what I'm trying to say is please fill in the blanks.
I'm going to have to disagree with you here. He really broke it down into steps and even demonstrated proper use of the medium to achieve the right strokes for the individual hairs. I particularly liked how he showed the concept of visualizing the hair as a black and white, blocked-in graphic shape and then added gradients, and finally detail.
Best drawing tutorials on youtube. And they are non-manga! Yay!
please!!! make a video on how to draw beard!! 🙏
Beard is hair!
+Proko
yes, but there must be some other technique since beard is more rigid
It is the same! !!
Everything is nothing more than a mass of shapes and values. Get the basics right and you can figure out how to draw anything.
I literally couldnot thank you more Proko
I draw in the anime style, but this is still really helpful, so thanks Proko :3
TheFangirlGamer sorry for a late reply! Even if you paint in a non realistic way, remember to learn basic of realistic style! It'll help your art a lot to know how to do certain things and experimenting with "the right way" (there is no right way but.. you know, the basic realism).
You go!!♡
Yes , you still need to learn these things ,even if you're going to draw anime/mangá/cartoon
Again, again, and AGAIN: you come through with top-notch content. THANK YOU SO MUCH, PROKO!!!!!!
the wigged egg
saitama?
yeah
Thank you again Stan! These are amazing tutorials, been trying to spread the word as much as possible at my school.
I didn't know drawing hair was so complicated... now I know why I'm not an artist...
I really appreciate it because in Japan we will not tell you how to draw a picture. I appreciate it.
Creo que me gustas mucho. tus videos son muy buenos, bastante intructivos.
Even the scratched hair you did, Proko, looked better than some things I've seen (and done x'D)...
This feels impossible to grasp.
absolutely effortless. I struggle with a lot of the things that I draw but I can get them to turn out looking pretty good it just takes me so much longer than a truly gifted artist to get the same high quality result. I have to do a stroke 20 times to their 1. I still get to the same place, well 80-90% the same place but it takes me way longer and more effort. I'm trying to get quicker with more flow but it is hard and people are so hard. I am getting better but have always had a hard time with people. That is a great way to approach the hair, a way I have never approached it before and I can't wait to try which I will be doing as soon as I am done with this long ass post which seems even longer because I am eager to try. Anyway, you are very talented, thank you for the video, I hope this helps me get closer to the artist I want to be
Proko you look super good in this video! And thank you, it was super useful!
why am I watching this I sucking at drawing there's no way I could do this
You could if you practice :) I recommend checking out the fundamentals section on my site. - proko.com/library
you probably also suck at grammar
Adding the texture is so hard
Prof. Moriarty
Hahaha
OH MY GOD SO TRUE
I just started in Drawing and sketching, and every single video of this Proko is really helpful! thank you so much!
This didn't help much. It would have been nice to see you drawing so that this could be understood. Still cant draw hair..
exo is here too ? :')
Kyosū Lestat Yes! Trying to learn how to draw their hair xD
Flowerade same XD
Oh my god proud kpoper here😉
All kpoper try to draw I think XD
That's why my characters have 2 to 3 hairs
i gave up :v i will just draw manga
+El Garda Try not to put so much pressure on yourself. Learning to draw is a lifelong journey.
Thank you so much, love your vids. it help a lot
+El Garda Nothing wrong with drawing manga! After a few years of practice (goofing off, really) your pen or pencil will yaern for something trickier.
practice makes perfect :-)
That's why, the reason right there. kids get stuck drawing manga forever instead of leaning how anatomy and the human body works. Don't get stuck on manga, if you love it and like to do fan art go for it, but don't waste your time in manga.
Very helpful illustrations on how to do a difficult part of a portrait that can affect all the hard work done on the face. Thank you.
You're cute, Proko, I'm sure... but showing more of what you are talking about, and less of your face talking would improve your already very good videos.
I think he has some of the most interesting art videos on the internet. They have elements of humor, theory, and practical examples that can help even a beginner. What more can you ask for?
Thank you for actually instructing us! All I could find is just videos of people drawing hair. While that helps a little, there was no INSTRUCTION. Great tutorial, thank you!
You really remind me a Japanese artist Dōmoto Kōichi, but he suck at drawing though lol
Hey how is art going on after 7 years
Thank you!!! The rest of the how to draw hair highlight videos don't explain it that well to me, but you did amazing at it c:
u alive ?
Hands... Hands For Me...Suck...
thank you for posting these lessons,they are great..and your loomi is a great assistant.wishing you the best bill
I completely agree, should always start with basics
Your teaching is helpful for persistent artists that draw,thank you for this video☺
