Easy and quick approach to drawing dark hair.
What really helped me to draw better was a project I did 3 months after I started to pencil draw. It was a drawing of a glass of water.
www.instagram....
This was the turning point. You see, to do this I had to draw every little detail EXACTLY as shown in the photo. When I first completed the drawing, my wife would look at it and tell me what 'little' thing was not 'exactly' as the photo and I'd go back and make it exact. This went on for a couple of weeks until there was nothing left to change.
What this did was train my eyes to look at details. So from then on, photo details popped out at me and I'd try to reproduce it in the drawing.
Now, I don't try to be as detailed as the glass water drawing to the point where you can't tell the difference between the photo and the drawing. But I take the drawing as close as "I feel like it", with some more than others. The "Girl in the Wall" drawing is one where I really pushed for exact details and was able to achieve photorealism. Others, I didn't push as far and left them to be easy noted as pencil drawings. That's art. Do what feels right to you.
So grab a photo of a simple object, like the glass of water, and force yourself to draw and erase till you exactly match the details in the photo. Have someone else look at it and pick out what is NOT exact and then just change it until it is. It's a challenge, but I guarantee that you will never see photos the same way again after doing this.
I really love this tutorial! Not a super long intro or excessive talking, just straight to the point. Really helpfull!
Really useful! What kind of ereaser do you use for the hair strokes?
Yes. But they aren't really hair strokes. They are highlights that gives the illusion of hair.
Thanks for the answer! What kind of ereaser is that?
Just a slice of a regular vinyl eraser. You want a sharp edge. Also used are 'pen' erasers, like the Tombow Mono Zero or Tuff Stuff eraser stick.
Thank you so much! :)
RixCanDoit what was that... u used before eraser pen for hair
Materials Used: Soft Charcoal Pencil, Hard Charcoal Pencil, White Eraser cut into a wedge and put on a chopstick, an eraser pen (Tuff Stuff), and kneaded eraser.
If you found this video useful and would like to buy me a coffee.. :-) ---> www.buymeacoffee.com/RixCanDoIt
thanks a lot!! I'm just learning how to draw and it's very useful! ❤
I use mono zero they work best for hightlights and I use at the dark areas charcoal soft because its the darkest shade even with soft touch I use napkins to blends the dark areas since my brush are covered in makeup lol
This is incredibly helpful. I'm working on a portrait of a roman legionary right now and I his helmet crest seems to lack something. A sharp edged eraser will work perfectly.
That was soo fast and easy lol I never thought it was this simple
@fear God Im agnostic
Thank you for your video! 👍🥰
Thanks! Today i drew hair for the first time in my life and couldnt get any contrast in it. I know there was too less light on the hair and that makes the hair look a little cloudy/mat
Aye! Sorry, had to reply to say I luv ur profile sm!! lol
Even if you dont have a 7B, 6B, 4B pencils its fine! A 2B pencil could work exactly fine. A 2B pencil is near to a HB pencil but it can still draken certain areas..Tbh i dont actually think you need expensive art supplies! All you need is a normal pencil, eraser, and paper to draw a perfect picture. You mainly need some art skill. Thats all, even if your not good at drawing doesnt mean you cant try it! You might learn something new- and maybe you'll get better in the future!
You make it look so easy, but I know if I try to do it it's going to be a train wreck. lol. But I'll try anyway.
U r the best who explained easily and it went very smoothly
Thank you!
Awesome tutorial. It is helping me a lot in my John Wick sketch
I subscribed just from your pencil sharpener playlist. Only an artist of some sort or other recognizes “the point” of such a list 🙂
Appreciate it!
What materials did you use? Specifically, for the hair part
Graphite and charcoal, mostly charcoal. Oh, and an eraser to pull out the highlights.
thank you! i learned something! i got the idea in how to make realistic hair
Another fantastic video, you are very inspirational, cant wait to get my pencils out, thanks once more, were you self-taught because you are very good, but youre right Ihave to keep practicising....
Thank you. I'm self-taught in that I have no formal training, no schooling in art. Other than that, I learn from reading and from watching videos on CZcams.
RixCanDoit OH MY GOSH! Your work looks like it took years of art school! I am SO impressed that you are self taught. I think maybe you were just born with a special drawing gene!
The best tutorial
This is a good video for beginner
Glad you think so!
I love your videos and have learned a lot! Thank you! Could you please make a list of materials and brands used in your descriptions? I tried following this video and when I tried to smooth it out with a "soft brush" there went all of my charcoal! lol. what is the tip?? my results looked NOTHING like yours! thank you for any tips!
I just use generic stuff. No particular brands in this demo.
Wow it was really awesome and useful to me❤️
It was really useful to me. Bless you.
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
My pleasure. I'll keep watching your videos.
And your videos are always very helpful!
I like your videos a lot! I've already subscribed. You are AMAZING!
Thanks!
Fabulous video!
Thanks!
You could also use a glue stick of glue gun for highlights.
That doesn't sound like something I'd want to do.
THANK YOU. MIND BLOWN!!!!
How beautiful ... but can you please mention what pencils numbers you used? I am new to drawing and I would like to know
Hard charcoal pencil, soft charcoal pencil, white eraser cut into a wedge and put on end of chopstick, eraser pen (Tuff Stuff), kneaded eraser.

Genius!!👏

Thanks for subbing!
so beautiful
Nice♥️

Aurhel Lasay a set of graphite pencils shouldwork
Really usefull thanks but i'm wondering, what did you use as the highlighter other than earasor? What did you use as the sharp edge?
Just erasers to highlight.
Nice work man.more power to you and to your channel

Nice tutorial.. do you hv a video with you drawing hair waves?
Most women hair are not always straight
Not yet.

Awesome. Glad it helped. Thanks for commenting!
@@RixCanDoit my plesure sir
Thank u so much, now I learned how to shade to hair. ❤️❤️❤️
What did you do in 6:12 part? Couldn't get it😅
Erasing with kneaded eraser.
Thank you for sharing ☺️😊☺️
My pleasure 😊
Hey Rix you are a great artist which charcoal pencil did you used in hair. I use general charcoal pencil in my drawing
Soft charcoal. Brand I cannot recall. Thanks!
I'm from Egypt and it was hard for me and you make me happy to do it♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome!
Hi what kind of paper are you using. Im using sketch pad paper but the charcoal seems to rub off after some time
I don't recall for this demonstration. However, I prefer Bristol Smooth side.
I saw u created a palette can I see it again to get the idea
Created a palette. What's that?
Amazing!
Where can I find the beat in the video.
It brings out an artistic vibe
I don't recall where I got it. I think Audio Hero.
What kind of pencil you used for the hair? Hard, soft...or something?
See the comments.
Can I use a black colored pencil instead of charcoal?
You can, but you're not going to get the same effect. Black colored pencil is not as dark or rich, and it does not come off as easily as charcoal when erasing out the highlights.
Nice tutorial thank you
nice art work
Many many thanks
I'm blown away by your drawings so realistic! How long have you been drawing for?
2 years
@@RixCanDoit lmfao
You're a genius thank you
Always very helpfull well done
should I apply light pressure when applying charcoal in hair? pls reply asap. thanks
You should always use light pressure in pencil drawing.
Is it okay to usee graphite in skin tone but charcoal on hairr ?? 🥺
Of course. You're the artist. You decide.
Wow! Youre very impressive! YOU GAINED A NEW SUBSCRIBER! I like ur video by the way! 😊😊😊
Thanks!
RixCanDoit thank you for the ❤
Will the razor damage the paper?
Also im doing a graphite portrait but want to use charcoal for the hair. Do you have any tips on how I can prevent the charcoal from smearing over my portraits face (which is drawn from graphite)?
Thank you 🙂
What razor? I don't use a razor. As for charcoal smearing, you just have to be careful.
@@RixCanDoit oh jeez i read the caption too fast at 2:29 lool. I thought it said "sharp edge razor" 😅.
And okay thanks for the tip!
@@RixCanDoit can I achieve the same level that you did in this video with General's Charcoal pencils? What charcoal pencils would you recommend?
Yes. Any decent charcoal pencil(s) will work just fine.
what is the best brush that can be use in charcoal portraits? thanks for your answer. xx
I do not believe there is such a thing. You use what you find works best for whatever it is you are trying to achieve.
RixCanDoit thanks so much
Loved your intro and your drawing even more❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, can you please give a material list of type of charcoal pencil and paint brush you are using? Thanks!
Please read the words that show up in the video. Then you will know what I used. Soft charcoal, eraser, etc.
@@RixCanDoit you're only saying what it is, there's no brand, size, weight, type info.....not sure why the info is so cryptic for. A list of materials used for video with information would be nice.
It's cryptic because it doesn't matter. I don't use any particular 'brand'. I use whatever I have laying on my table. So this instructional video does not show you that you have to use the exact brands I did to achieve this. Just use soft charcoal, erasers, powder, etc. as shown in the video. The results will be the same. I simply have no idea what pencils I picked up at the time and am not stuck to any brand.
Thank you so much🙏
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice tutorial as always☺
Thank you!
Good video,you`re very good.
Thank you. It really is a simple example. Lighter hair takes much more time and effort to do right.
Rix, I have a real question for you. How do you clean the brush after you brush over the charcoal with it?
I don't.
Oh.
This really helps!!
fantastic job my friend, you're right up there with the best of them ; )
Thank you!
Thank you
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wow really nice video ,and what s the brand of the pencil you used first
Just a soft charcoal pencil. I don't use any particular brand.
wow.. nice tutor..👍
Nice!
Hello, I hope you see my comment, I love your tutorial, it's amazing. I just have one question.
Can I use my finger instead of that huge brush for blending and get the same/similar results? :D
TheVampireGirl48 fingers have oil on them.
So...I'm guessing that's a no?
Ok.
Well, yes and no. You can certainly blend with your fingers, but you RISK getting oils on the drawing which causes graphite/charcoal to 'stick' and is extremely difficult to fix.
Ok. Thank you. :)
Can you tell me plz what kind of paper you are using? Amazing work btw👌🏻
Sure. It was Sax Drawing Paper, 90#, 9 x 12in, white purchased from Amazon. Thank you.
was the first pencil a soft charcoal?
Probably. :)
Great video. Please keep the good work. But would love to see something on a black man's hair
Thanks. Never drawn hair of a black person before. Guess I'm going to have to work on that soon.
please do. thanks
Wow awesome
