Hello Steemians! ๐
I know that most of the struggles artist encounter is drawing the hair, I know because that's also my struggle since I started drawing. So today I'm going to show you a Step-by-Step tutorial on how I draw the Hair .

This is not the perfect way to do it, but this is how I do it. (Don't mind that thing on the right, hahahaha)
So let's get started!

Step 1
Draw the outline of the hair. The curves of the hair is important since your highlight will depend on the direct of the "curve"
Step 2
Draw light lines, follow the direction of the curve, whether the hair concaves left or right.
Step 3
Using any cloth, smudge the surface for a smoother finish for the shading.
Step 4
make the shading darker. ![](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYLRc6fKK2QLCB5qKTTUDmre1se6xWMebGkDapPSndK7Q/image.png)
Last Step
Draw the *stray* hairs to make it look more natural and add the minor details. And you're done!![](https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdGxcD8PwcD1HhHA2qKXui8SYBbrinrpLbMnehyicyWQ8/image.png)

Thank you very much!! <3
Nice easy and easy to follow. My drawing looks like cartoon characters LOL, but when I color using colored pencils I follow the same basics that you mention here. It's a nice technique, plus hair is never 'perfect' anyway. You did an amazing job.
