HOW TO DRAWHair digital - Step by step

1. Drawing the base layerOpen a new file on Procreate and add layers - Not just one, I add mostly about 5 to 6, so you have enough space for making mistakes.

Then take the Brush „Luvlons Hair Hard Wisps“ to create a base-layer. You can see in this picture several hairstyles - I show you that you can take my brushes for creating every of those.

3. Add some dimensionYou can intensify the form of the hairstyle, braid, some wisps or curls through darken the parts around the hair. It gets a more dimensional look. Through variating the strenght of the wisps you can play with the size of the brush „Luvlons Hair Soft wisps“ and add some single hair with „Luvlons Eyebrows and Single Hair“

2. Add wisps For adding wisps you should take another layer. With a click on this layer you can activate a „clipping-mask“ - this is for being safe, you just draw on the hair you alrady have drawn. For adding wisps you take the Brush „Luvlons Haar Soft wisps“ - Where you want some darker shades, you take a strong pres-sure - where you just want to add some soft wisps, take a lower pressure.

4. Fill the gapsDeactivate the clipping mask and fill the gap with the darkest tone you used to shade. These leads to more intensity and dimension.

Fill the gaps and make the hair look stronger and dimensional. You take the darkest color you used for shading and fill the hair in the gaps, at the beginning and the end.

Notice: if you want lighter hair-tips (because light fells in or your hair should have an ombré look) you take for them a bright color.

6. Add some more lightsTake „Luvlons single hair“ and „Luvlons structured hair“and add more lights.To shape them and just highlight different parts, erase them around the edges with a soft eraser brush.

5. Lighten the hair We begin to brighten the hair now. For getting a soft look you take the „Luvlons hair soft shade“. Imagine where the light comes from and draw light bunches of hair into a new layer.Try to follow the form of the hair. If it’s curly, wavy or in a braid, watch that you just brighten the top parts that should catch the light.

7. Add single hair To make it more realistic, we add some single wisps, structured and single hair. It makes a drawing more vivid than just having a hair matt, that just hangs down. Try to draw even outside the space you wanted to fill with hair and give it the „imperfect“ look.

8. Bright single hair makes it vividThe hair looks great now, right? But to finish it, we add some single hair in a bright Color which are placed outside the edges. As you know by yourself: your hair is not completely straight, curled or whatever. So put a little Chaos into it by using: single hair, structured hair and ne classy sketching brush that’s in the set.

9. Optional: Add glitter and highlightsAs you may know: I Love glitter - I add glitter everywhere - also when drawing hair! So in the last step, that you doesn‘t need to do, you can ad some highlighted points with „Luvlons Sketch“ and add some glitter at the edges, in the girls or the hair-tips and let your hair glow! I just love the glitterish look.Now: Stop reading and start doing. :) http://www.gum.co/PyYyA
