Welcome ! This tutorial will provide tips and techniques for drawing stylish, dynamic short hair styles. Let's start with the introduction and supplies you'll need to get started.
For this short hair tutorial, you'll need the following basic supplies:
* Sketchbook or drawing paper
* Drawing pencils (ideally a set with varying grades like HB, 2B, 4B, 6B)
* Blending stumps or blending tortillons
* Eraser for smudging and erasing lines
* Ruler or straightedge (optional)
Step 1 : Start by drawing the hairline, which will serve as the base for the hair style. The hairline can be straight or curved, depending on the look you want. Draw a line beginning in the middle of the head and extend it all the way to the sides, making sure it extends to where the ears would typically be.
Step 2 : Wonderful! Moving on to step 2, we'll create two curved lines above the hairline. This step essentially outlines the top of the head. The lines should stop roughly where the ears would be located. The example , Meep my little character above, demonstrates how the hairline can go behind the ears and continue below them. Alternatively, as shown in the examples highlighted in red, the lines can be drawn in front of the ears for a different look. This leads us to step 3.
Step 3 : From the two curved lines we created in step 2, extend them all the way to the base of the neck. Now it's time to add some style to the hair by creating curls. Start by making small, sharp "V" curves at the ends of the hair, letting them flow in various directions to give your character's hair a dynamic and carefree look.
Step 4 : We'll continue drawing the curls and connecting them to form a cohesive hairstyle. Feel free to let the curls interweave and merge in unique ways, creating a natural and dynamic look. As you mentioned, this hairstyle works well with short, curly hair that reaches the ears as well, adding a fun and playful touch to the character's appearance.
Fantastic! We've concluded our tutorial on “How to do Hairstyles Part 2: Short Hair”. Now you have the skills to draw a variety of short, stylish haircuts. Remember to experiment with different curls and shapes to achieve the look you desire. Happy Drawing !
