Manga artists: *I'll act like I didn't see this*
honestly, realistic hair looks very good on anime characters
@@FemboyKaiSakuyes it definitely does , like they did it in fruit basket, and some other animes which I am unable to name rn 😅
Realistic hair look way better on manga and anime characters
@@FemboyKaiSakuGuts and Casca's hair is the best thing that happened to me
This still applies to hair in manga too, they just simplify and stylize the forms
Heh true
"a lot of people draw hair wrong"
Sir that's literally my hair in first drawing
😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂

Wow I always had an issue drawing hair in the past. Thank you.
Cartoony artists: "mhm, yep, I'm paying full attention and I will *definitely* use this information."
Cartoonists trying to simplify are probably already focusing on the shape of mass more than those striving for realism and wanting to render all the hair true to life.
I'm a cartoonist and I find these lessons useful and valuable. A cartoon is nothing more than an exaggeration of realism. You have to understand the rules before you break them.

@@LeythLegacy picasso sucks
@@LeythLegacywhy? It feels so nice to be nice
I'd do this but I also suck at shading
Edit: I really appreciate all the advice everyone is giving me, thank you❤️
Changeable
You're on the right path 💪
One day you will realize how much you have changed and will really appreciate not being perfect at shading from the start, so better not stress too much about it.
Take one step at a time and soon you'll have taken 10, the next 90 will be much easier and looking back, you'll wonder "how did I end up here already?" You stop counting the steps and go forth naturally
Sometimes you have the energy to run, sometimes you gotta go slower. Sometimes there's a hill, but after there's a downhill and you find out how much strength you got from the tough and rewarding path.
you got this, sometimes it's better to not get stuck thinking about where you are, but where you are headed
@@fazzypanda thanks man I feel better now
You should draw a lot of shading about it it works
Imagine a light source. Observe how object appears when exposed to light. Different materials react differently to light. Also, practice 10,000x
I am discovering it for the first time.

Happy to help!
THANK YOU I REALLY NEEDED THIS FOR MY HOMEWORK
This can be applied in just about every style. I still suck at hair cuz shading for me is super difficult with my art style, but it's honestly what all of the pros do.
nah I think dreads looks like the "spaghetti" hair example. I am no artist though since I can only draw tick figures
@@nakedsquirtle Huh. Didnt think of that. You're right, dreads are typically drawn the spaghetti hair style. Well in my style anyways lol. You make a solid point there. Also, I gotta say, I found ur pfp and name hilarious-
@@nakedsquirtleI've also seen styles where they just straight up draw the spaghetti hair even for regular hair. Imo there's no wrong way to do art, I mean art is entirely subjective by definition (I think)
@@random1744i respect and relate with this opinion.
most respectful replies section award!
yeeeeeee, sick. But what about curly hair? how to show these shapes?
It would be the same for curly hair. Focus on the bigger shapes and values first before getting into all the details. The main difference is that the texture will be different and depending on the texture it won't flow the same. Typically, curly hair is bouncier.
I recommend watching Anatomy Quick Tips: Hair by Sinix Design. He explains this really well.
@@kalkdog8809 thank you so much!!
@@kalkdog8809 best way to explain it!
@@silkie5148 just like they said, also make some flyaway strands that just curl into weird little bits, it makes it look more realistic
IKR i wanted to see if anyone else noticed that - type 3-4 r entirely diffy!
What I really like about this video is that it really shows you the full process. And it also shows you the scale of the image. A lot of instructionals tend to skip or lump together too many steps and it makes the whole thing hard to comprehend.
Or they give you too much detail, to the point that you're learning to replicate a particular image.
But this gets the good points, and tells you why they're good.
This has got to be some of the most useful advice for hair I have ever gotten. Completely changed my view on drawing hair!
This makes total sense to me except the way I learned how to draw hair is that one day I looked at an image of hair and it clicked in my head
Oh I love those moments. Like, for the longest I couldn’t draw hands. But one day i was just studying my own hands and palms and it just CLICKED. I love when that happens.
It happened to me one day when I was a normal teen. One month later, Bam! I turned racist
@@Khan-dw1mr weird joke
And this is why I always tell budding artists that there is no shame in using references. I've been doing art for over 2 decades. I still use references for pretty much everything I do.
Even though I no longer do art professionally, even in my engineering career now I still constantly use references. Taking from other work is just the foundation of learning and understanding for yourself.
Ha double entendre ! Hair is not easy for me.
I think I should reconsider continuing in this major :')
bro same 💀
Mood lmao 💀
Whatever art you gravitate to, just do what you feel is right with it. In being in touch with the piece it is then an extension of yourself, it is then your art
No an art major is the most useless sadly
@@knoobiez how? So many animators are needed especially in this modern age 💀 needless to say there are so many things that art/graphics/design majors are needed for
I appreciate this so much. I have a commission illustration for a dnd banner and while I’m more confident in bodies and faces I struggle with hair especially when it’s longer.
"Don't draw bad, draw good" type of tutorial
Want me to repeat?
insted of drawing 700 strokes
draw 7 and color the dark parts.
got it?
That’s just a lazy excuse
Get better instead of complaining and unwilling to learn
"Just think of hair as a bunch of bananas." -kooleen
gorilla kooleen
A bunch of bananas?🤣 I never thought of thinking of it like that I've just almost imagined the clumps of hair as ribbons tied down by an imaginary pin
@@theartcrusader759same, almost like a mop 💯😂

There's no "wrong way" to draw something. As long as YOU like it it's a success
Exactly. I hate when those art tip channels say "you're doing this wrong and that wrong" etc. Not every style is realism, if "spaghetti hair" is something you want in your drawing then go ahead, draw away
What makes a good artist is being able to draw what you want to draw. A lot of people want to draw hair well, in a way that makes sense in real life. Of course it won't matter if you WANT to draw spaghetti hair, but if you want to draw hair right there _are_ right and wrong ways to do it.
@@Atomas69 understandable, there are lots of different styles of drawing hair or just anything in general so these videos are helpful, but some of them just rub me the wrong way. It all just depends on what style you're going for
@@fishwithknees4049 yeah. It's about finding the right "art tip* video from the right artist to get what you need. In this case it's a general guide to hair. Most artists start from the base level of understanding realism in order to scale down to stylization to draw stylized art properly
Nope
Thanks. I think this will make my drawings look a whole lot better and less messy.
Totally loved the drawing of the kid! It conveys a whole lot of emotion and sweetness.
Oh thank god someone righted this wrong; my art teachers taught us to do the scratchy spaghetti hair method, so my hair has always looked super gross 😅, thank you!
Why? Aren’t they art teachers?
I just think they should know not to do that...
My teacher is also really incompetent
And when I want to cirrect her, she sends me to the principle(Which is just acting like she's mad at me)
I do the "scratchy hair" and it looks fine
*DONT LOOK AT THE PINNED COMMENT ON MY MOST RECENT VIDEO* …
@@Number.1Yanfei.Fan123 ok, whatever works for you. Maybe you do it in a really special way!
Great. I make hair like primary geometric shape more like some like hard surface and then turn her to soft form like it is in the tutorial.
70 likes and 0 comments? lemme fix that
He makes it sound like it's easy, people have different styles, I despise when people say other people are doing things wrong just to say how they do it is the right way(it's not)
Thanks i have been struggling on drawing hair im just gonna keep practicing till i master it
Bro your art is a real jewel
I think that's the thing I struggle to paint the most, especially with graphite pencils, but I'm getting better I think
Thankful to God that this short was made. Just helped me on an art project I've been stressed about.
Love the music. Feel so happy when hearing it.
Wow that's an awesome video thanks 🥰
*4c hair has left the chat*
4c hair can be drawn with this method too, but it's still way harder lol
@imagine2166 yeah and there's like a billion more steps to make it look decent
Me who draws bald stick figures: hmmm interesting
This is so insanely cool, I never knew
There’s not a wrong way to draw anything, just different
YES, THANK YOU!!!! The hair that I draw isn’t realistic but it’s not the spaghetti looking hair, it’s kinda like mini-character hair. This channel ticks me off for saying that it’s wrong, art can be in many forms.
no he told you how to do it MORE right (especially it's realistic drawing)
@@tanjiroukamado874 but he said it was “wrong” so I guess he chose the wrong set of words though
These tutorials are for people who want to study art or pursue it professionally. Yes, art is about expression and fun, but there is an academic side to it. You will get clowned on *hard* if you try to pull this in a profesisonal/academic artistic environment.
The "theres no wrong way to do it" is not a good mindset if you're trying to learn. By all means, do whatever you want to personally, but that's just not a viable attitude in a more professional setting.
@@perfidiousprophet that’s not necessarily true, because there are plenty of shows and movies with so many different styles of how hair is drawn
Nah I think I’ll stick to my scribbles
Your channel is so useful and helpful 😊
These are very helpful tips for a young artist like me! I’ve always struggled to draw hair when I was little, so this guide really helps :)
I love drawing hair like sh-t and I draw shapes and then lines 💀
Edit: I mean the shapes and lines sometimes but I mostly try to not draw constant spaghetti hair
This is probably the main thing that popular art influencers get completely wrong. There is no incorrect way to draw something.
Right, that's not the way I draw hair
This is for people learning to draw realistic hair
Except there is. There are objective rules to art but art is completely subjective. You can choose to disregard those rules if you want but those rules still exist.
I use that wrong hair as an weird core things i did on my drawing
A lot of people talk about hands being difficult but at least I can wrap my mind around hands. With hair I just can comprehend how it's pulled off
I'll draw hair the way I want, you draw hair the way YOU want. It's self expression!
There's no wrong way to draw hair, or anything for that matter. All you artists out there who have people telling them their doing it wrong, dont listen! Do it however you want, there's not right or wrong!
As I say depends on the artstyle and I will keep saying it.
There are wrong ways if you're trying to draw realism
Well this is for people who wanna learn
I love the fact that you took your time to just slow down, and help everyone else slow down as well to at least absorb this information
Who would have guessed that with skills, talent, technique and years of practice, one can draw hair very well.
THIS IS THE BEST HAIR TUTORIAL I'VE EVER CROSSED THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, THIS VIDEO LINK WILL BE A FAMILY HEIRLOOM
There's no right way to draw hair. Everyone draw different. There's no right or wrong way, have a fun time drawing
@☆〜未来ーちゃん〜☆ yup , spaghetti hair is wrong IF you want to draw realistically .
i agree with you.. puddin'
@☆〜未来ーちゃん〜☆ ye realistic drawing there's right wrong ways, besides that no wrong right way
This guy makes drawing look so easy
The most helping hot to draw short in CZcams
It isn't wrong its just different. Art is the expression of oneself and/or the inspiration they grasp from within themself or from the influence around them. Scribble hair is totally valid
It's wrong if you're aiming for more realistic hair. If "scribble hair" is what you're aiming for then go off and do that but its odd to act like there arent people who DONT want to make "scribble hair". If this video doesnt apply to you why click on it?
Spaghetti hair is about as valid as the bs argument that "art is subjective"
No, art is not subjective as art can be boiled down to a list of techniques and qualities. You can tell the caliber of the artist based on their art.
Spaghetti hair is a technique used by novice artists who don't know how to properly draw hair. So in the same way, Spaghetti hair *IS NOT* valid, unless as the previous guy said: that is the desired effect.
I understand not wanting to tell people the art they enjoy is bad or not wanting to call art you enjoy yourself bad, but some art just is. Acting as if there's never been a bad musician, movie director, author, etc is just sheer stupidity. You wouldn't see a 5yo's crayon drawing on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
@@JayArr96 I would still say art is subjective but in a sense of what meaning you find in it or what idea your expressing.
Techniques and guidelines (not rules because it sounds ridged) are ways to make or improve a desired affect or for more efficiency. Like with a full illustration you have to know where your light sources are coming from to apply shadow properly.
This is great and I love the tips, but I just wanna remind y'all that there is, technically, no wrong way to draw something. As long as it gets the point across you've done it right.
I'd love to be able to draw like this
New generation are so lucky to have knowledge as accessible as this. Before the internet I used to look at my hand with light to figure out lighting for my shading.
Please know that you cannot draw or do art WRONG. There is no right way to draw something. You draw the way you want, every way is perfect. Whether it’s stick people or highly detailed bodies, everything is right and accepted.
Edit: Guys. I get it if you don’t agree with what I say. But I honestly couldn’t care less!
In order to make someone better at art, you don’t discourage them for drawing differently. You encourage them to try another way or say something like “There could be a better way for you to draw this!” Instead of just saying “You’re not drawing this right. It’s wrong. Draw it right. This is the right way, you’re doing the wrong way”.
Every person’s way of drawing will be different than others. There will never be a wrong or right way. Nobody is able to decide what the “right” way to draw hair is, and what the “wrong” way to draw hair is. There’s ways to IMPROVE your art but there’s no way for your art to be incorrect in style.
exactly, when I heard the word "WRONG" I already didn't like the video. Sure it's great advice but I don't have to follow it 💀
That's very good advice for people who don't wanna improve or become a professional artist
if ur just starting spaghetti hair is understandable but it’s still not that great of a hair, all this guy is doing is just offering how he does it and the realism way to do it
This is actually... terrible advice. Yes, art is subjective and one can find meaning and beauty in one thing where another may not but, there are still better techniques than others to achieve a desired result. You can't toss out decades, even centuries of art principles that obviously work because "there's no way to do art wrong." The truth is, if you want to become a professional artist, you're going to have to learn the best practices and learn to do art "RIGHT."
Enjoy goffy ahhhhh 5 year old hair
Amazing art a great tips! But I still think it’s good to practice steering away from saying a certain way of drawing something is “wrong”! Don’t mean this in any malicious way! 💕

@@MythmasterFunky its never bad to not be an asshole! You should try practicing that more 👍
@@Meow99029 snowflake
But remember: Art is not about rules, its about fun and expressing yourself, and if you having fun and enjoyment drswing hair the " wrong " way, dont listen to haters, do what you want
Wowww
The waffle house has found its new host
Nice information ☺️
thank you this is actually pretty useful
omg this is the best hair drawing i've ever seen....
I'm pretty sure this is the channel that taught me how to draw hair all those years ago. Drawing hair is now one of my favorite things :)
Friendly reminder that there is never a “wrong” way to do art
Thank you this is inspirational❤️
Why these guys are so strategic about everything about art
becouse if you want to have an art job you will have to create artwork to a specific date. If you want to go to art school you will have to fill an assignment to a certain time.
Thanks for this tutorial!
This has helped me so much with my art assignments. I really cant thank you enough
Truthfully when I was first drawing hair I never did the strands. Just liked how fluffy they looked
It was pretty good until my pencil touched the paper
Simplifying and drawing shapes before going in the details is the right way to draw anything
you were subconsciously one of the reason i wanted to be an artist
This is like don't draw bad, draw good
He just said what to do
Why does the hair he draws more real than my hair would ever be 🫣😶
That's actually a really cool way to look at it! Maybe I should try that for a style I've been looking to master!
These videos are impossibly good
This makes me want to get back into sculpting - sculpting hair is so satisfying and so much more intuitive than drawing!
Wow this is awesome thanks for the advice
10/10 best hair tutorial
I have never thought to just draw head shape and fill it with only light angles and no facial features. That's actually a genius way to learn proper realistic lighting. New tech acquired!!
Almost like learning to shade a circle but for faces.
I love videos like these I’m sure this will help me draw hair better in the future thank you for this wonderful tip 😄
This was very informative, thank you.
Best explanation ever for this activity. My hair was def too stringy before and def did everything you described. Can't wait to try it out.
Thank you for this advice!
Everyon have their own style and this is what makes art more beautiful, at the end it is a piece of art
Theres no wrong or right way drawing or painting is creativity
But if you want a certain design, you need to take a certain approach.
ty so much this rlly helped me
Thanks for sharing your skilled advice.
Thank you so much, this is what i need
A lot of hair tutorials explain it not this simple and hard to understand
A tutorial on coily hair using this method would be amazing! I can see this causing problems with different hair types.
This is so amazingly helpful thank you!
As we can see my pfp avoids hair completely, I'm bald myself but I still yearn to draw better hair
It’s seems all my characters will be bald from now on
Thanks a lot 😊💕
I like how he said we do it wrong but weren’t we taught that all art was different
Thanks!, this helps me a lot!
Best drawing everrrrre
Thank you for sharing. This is great
you a good teacher explained it real nice
My art teacher showed me this video the other day and I’ve found it
tHIS IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL
This is why when i did art at school id make sure to get a buzzcut knowing we were doing self portraits.
this is a perfect video, I don't think anyone could clarify the broad part of drawing hair now perfectly. 10/10 would recommend
