Been struggling with how I want to draw my character's hair, and this comes out on my birthday?! Hell yeah!!! Thank you so much for this!!! I love the work you do, so this is a MASSIVE treat >w
It's been quite a while since you posted a video, we missed you! Two of my greatest difficulties while drawing is to give the hair a natural shape and detail it properly, this vídeo will help me a LOT with that. Thank ya!
Ich warte schon auf dieses Tutorial seit dem du es in deinem Webinar angekündigt hast TT Dankeeeeee! Ich fand es immer mega interessant, wie du die Haare in deinen Zeichnungen colorierst (vor allem mit all den Strähnen)
This is unbelievably helpful!!! I’ve struggled for a long time with male hair, even when I try to make different styles they all end up looking so similar, like the same style. Given the story I’ve been working on for years, it always makes illustrations of the male characters so daunting
@@Stellarfront Don’t even. Just don’t. I don’t give a flying f@ck about it. Facts are facts, and fact is that male hairstyles exist, female hairstyles exist, and unisex hairstyles exist. Don’t go causing fights where there doesn’t need to be one. It’s ridiculous to start arguments over something that doesn’t matter and has only been offending people for a handful of years. I am part of the LGTBQ community and I promise very very few of us give a damn about gender assignment to this kinda stuff. So politely take your self righteousness and leave
@@cloudpie3134 thank you for having common sense, it’s so refreshing to see someone who isn’t on this “let’s be sensitive over every tiny thing” phase the worlds going through
Thank you for explaining how you draw hair, I never realize to start at a single point, I usually just draw lines everywhere until it looks ok and also the alphabet method of coloring hair! I've never seen that before, I HAVE to try it! I think I will also start with the letters *G-A-Y* since it was used in the video~ 😏 I'm not a digital artist, so I'll just have to make it work.
I always start with where the pony is (the forehead) supposed to be and then i make just flat lines and tbh i think my art is great but ofc i want to get better and better
This is very helpful! I've always wondered how good artists manage to draw such pretty hair so easily without struggling for hours, painting every little strand if hair individually. And most tutorials just say "put basic colour. now add shading and highlights" and I'm like ??? yeah but how?! So, this is exactly what I've been missing from all the other totals or videos I've seen so far, it's really helpful.
Wow!! Oh my actual god. So, I love doing digital art allllll the time! So I applied this to my art and WOW! Big change, and I love it so much, I draw hair so much better now. In fact, I actually did try it out on my paper sketches, but instead of adding gradients with brushes, I used some charcoal and blending tools like Q-tips! Thank you so much for making this, you’re a lifesaver!! 😊
I know I‘m late, but I just wanted to thank you for what you achieved and did for all of us here. Your tips are incredible, and after all hair is the thing that stands out the MOST while looking at characters, it‘s the thing that makes them so different, just like eyes or whatever. (Ich war sehr überrascht, als ich den deutschen Manga sah, aber an deinem Akzent habe ich schon erkannt… also in dem Moment dachte ich „Hmmm könnte es sein?!“ finde es voll cool, dass du deine Videos trotzdem englisch machst. Mach weiter so!!! ✨)
So glad I stumbled upon your channel. Your style of quick straightforward and simple direction/explanation is exactly what i look for in tutorial vids. your voice is very soothing without you talking too slow like many other channels where i need to put on 1.5x playback speed lol. also like that you only show the canvas instead of spending half of the video showing your face. (edit: feel the need to praise you even further for focusing on the rules of proportion rather than simply teaching us one specific technique.)
Hey, just want to say that I really like your videos and I greatly appreciate your channel - in particular, I like the way that you get to the point right away and concisely deliver useful information. I found your video about the features of CSP especially helpful. You're also very pleasant to listen to, owing to your manner of speech, so I can happily have your videos playing as ambience even when I'm not researching a specific subject. Keep up the great work!
The one thing I could never draw when it came to anime characters was their hair. The way you drew the hair and explained it made so much sense, and it’s been extremely helpful with drawing different male hairstyles. Thank you!
I got an iPad for christmas and decided to give learning art a try! I've been looking for resources to help me along with learning art as a whole (I still need to learn the fundamentals) and remembered that whenever i did draw anything in the past, it was the most difficult thing in the world to draw hair and it always just looked like spaghetti LOL. I've seen you around on twitter and liked your style of drawing a ton, so when I found this i watched immediately and omg. It all makes so much sense now. I haven't even gotten my apple pencil in the mail yet, but this is getting me excited to try learning everything!
Thank you for this tutorial! It was actually very helpful, I was struggling drawing hair, but after watching your tutorial and practicing, my life became so much more easy! Thanks again ^^
i keep getting reccommended your videos and just had to subscribe! your tutorial videos are so helpful! ive always had a big issue with drawing, colouring and shading hair (or just colouring in general tbh) and this was so helpful! im definitely going to be thinking about it differently now!
I can’t thank you enough! This video helped me so much. Before, I was definitely struggling with the layers of hair and after watching this, I have a better understanding of it! A millions thanks!
This tutorial is awesome, thank you! Hair is one of the things I struggle with, especially colouring it nicely. Another area I find difficult is fabric and clothes. My mind just does not want to compute how to put wrinkles in it haha. If you could do a tutorial starting from making the lineart for wrinkles, that would be very cool
tips for my fellow beginner artists! :) 1. don't rush yourself! amazing artists that you see out there, didn't get there in a day! they had to go through just as much struggle as you're going through, but don't worry, you'll get there! as the old saying goes, rome wasn't built in a day! 2. practice! don't be afraid to look up tutorials on whatever you need help practicing by other artists to help you! don't be afraid to use references, either! (pinterest has a lot of good references!) 3. be patient with yourself! don't beat or downgrade yourself if you can't get something just right! 4. stop saying, "i wish i could draw as good as them" or "i could never draw like that" instead, start saying, "i *will* be able to draw like them with enough practice and patience!" i hope this helps any beginner artists who are struggling with their art at the moment! i can't wait to see you as a professional artist soon!
Dang! I’ve always struggled when it came to hair- every time I tried it turned into a big, flat mess- this really helps and tomorrow when I can actually use my computer I’m hoping to try this out- very amazing tutorial 👍
Man thanks laovaan this helped me a bit though I wish you included a haircut like dreads those bother me when it comes to colouring especially if their black
i love revisiting this video. although this isn't the method i use for my vtuber, there are a lot of helpful tips and this gives me the inspiration and an idea of how and what i want in a hair style.
Ahh thank you so much for this tutorial! I already kinda knew how hair worked but I wanted a more detailed and more understanding concept. This really helped me understand it way more! :D
this is super helpful actually for the sketch i kind of did it a little bit unconciously but now i can do it consciously and better, and well for hair shading ive never really figured out how to shade hair properly, i think this helps a bit with the shape i should shade it so thank you for that, though i still have trouble figuring out how to give it a hair-like quality/texture, so that it looks soft and highlights actually look like highlights
For some who wants to improve in human hair and find a better method at long wolf hair coloring this is perfect for both and I see potential in my next pieces!!
Man... you can draw. People always told me "hands are the hardest thing to draw" I 100% disagree. Personally, hands are soo simple to me and i think it is because hands are always the same mechanically speaking. I can invision the inner working structure of hands while I draw, so they end up coming with ease and very naturally. Hair on the other hand is just chaos... structured chaos, this is where my problem always came in.. where the hell is the hair, where is it going, how fast is it going there.... hair has soo many variables that even choosing one of them to focus on was always hard for me. As soon as I finished this video I went to sketching and I cant even believe how much something soo simple has helped me. I never thought of centralizing my hairs for what ever reason and when I think about what you said.. it just makes sense. I was always in the thought of "hair grows from everywhere" where as your train of thought is "every strand of hair comes from a medial point". Literally 5 minutes after this video and I can already see huge improvments to how "natural" the hair feels. Thanks for the advice, have a sub. Look forward to watching your other videos. Cheers.
When you were sampling the letters and spelled out C Y N on the hair I was shookt cause it's my name XD Great tutorial! I am working on my first art using Procreate and I'm surely gonna use this method! Thank you!
thanks this is pretty much exactly what i was looking for everyone just tells you that hair originates from a point and or line but this tutorial is in way more detail

Pls make a how to paint skin and overall a video on how to shade our drawings pleaseeee 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I don't know how to use clip studio or whatever call it
You are really good at teaching thank you
The "you can hide messages on your character's hair" remembered me of an image of from arcane where powder had "Jinx" written on her hair....
finally a male artist who doesn't only draw females (most of them r just simps)
Been struggling with how I want to draw my character's hair, and this comes out on my birthday?! Hell yeah!!! Thank you so much for this!!! I love the work you do, so this is a MASSIVE treat >w

I’m definitely gonna try this! Hair is an absolute nightmare for me to draw, so it’s nice to have some sort of guideline to follow. Thank you!

What's male hair? Isn't hair gender neutral?
@@Stellarfront oml they were referring to a male character with hair, they probably mean a more masculine/short look 🗿
@@Stellarfront Don’t even. Just don’t. I don’t give a flying f@ck about it. Facts are facts, and fact is that male hairstyles exist, female hairstyles exist, and unisex hairstyles exist.

I’m not even 5 minutes in and this is already the best hair tutorial I’ve seen on youtube thank you so much Laovaan I’m a sub for life now!!!

Your Sesshomaru drawing at 0:38 is 🔥🔥
Thank you so much. Because of you, drawing is easier.
Thank youuu. Your approach is easier to grasp. Sometimes just studying a photo isn't enough cuz there's no explanation.
I love the striking way you always find to explain things that are somewhat complicated
The 'sea urchin' tip for short hair was really helpful!
ngl, the best hair tutorial out there
Thank you for this tutorial! It was actually very helpful, I was struggling drawing hair, but after watching your tutorial and practicing, my life became so much more easy! Thanks again ^^
