I've been asked many times "How do you draw hair like that?" Last year I made a short video clip showing the basic technique I use for drawing hair.
• I separate the hair into sections
• Then I use flick-like strokes, all in the same direction ( like striking a match).
• Usually, I start from the ends ( of each sectioned piece) and flick toward the center of the section ( where the highlight would be).
This clip is in REAL time....it is not sped up and there is NO sound.

This clip shows the technique I use to add the finishing touches to an area of hair. It adds a realistic effect to otherwise flat looking ribbons of hair.
This clip "HAS" audio so you can hear me ( with my stupid voice) explain what I am doing. I hope you find this helpful, or at the very least, entertaining.

Although I never can see myself ever putting that much detail in a picture, I surely do appreciate the talent it takes! Thanks for posting this! It really is hypnotic watching you work. :)
I was always particularly impressed with the way you draw the hair. Thanks for showing your technique... I'm gonna give it a try, though it still looks like magic to me. Yes, I'd love to see part 2 of this video.
And don't forget to finish the drawing from previous post :)

absolutely amazing! I am a fan of you both here and on Deviantart. you are a genius! could you make a video showing what tools you use to shade skin to make it look so lifelike and show your basic technique for skin. thanks for bringing such beautiful art into the world
