So, I’ve started to draw recently and I think I’m doing well, but the main problem I face is with hair.
No matter how hard I try, I just can’t make it look realistic, beautiful and natural
So I just wanted to get some tips from you guys on how to draw better hairstyles.
Can someone please help me?

I mean, there’s this brush named Oil Hair but you need to watch an ad in order to gain access to it.
That’s what I was saying, I meant were you talking about the brushes that u get after watching ads

hi i’m not sure howibis paint works as i use procreate, but for hair, there should be steps.
this is what I usually do:
- I have the base colour which is the middle colour of the hair
- I then define the hair with a darker colour, I use medium hard airbrush to define the shadows and sometimes blend it so it doesnt look too harsh. do not blend all the hair though, leave some defined.
- i then add soft highlights, sometimes i use the Add filter depending on the lighting.
- i then add harder highlights
- add some loose strands of hair as well so it doesn’t look so stiff!
