Drawing Hair

[@AmantesdelDibujo]

David. You’re one of the few artists that actually teach the techniques step by step indicating and stressing each details. So, I have to thank you very much for all your amazing tutorials.

[@Mobius494]

Mr. Finch is one of the verrry few comic artists that give back to the comic community. Most artists retire and forget about us.

[@AmantesdelDibujo]

The way you always interpret the HAIR in your characters is absolutely beautiful sometimes amazing. You the best David…!!!

[@StygianStyle]

I wait until the end or a portrait drawing to draw hair detail, and it's always a lot more work than I anticipated. It takes a lot of patience.

[@erickgroveart]

Breaking down one of the most difficult things to draw in such a clear and understandable way! Thanks David, I need to practice this a ton. It is so helpful to be equipped with knowledge like this.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks Erick!!

[@bennyvermeulen7255]

That’s why all my figures are bald, male and female.

[@monarch8115]

I literally break down in stress if I can't draw something correctly

[@Drake-f4r4d4y]

Grettings from Guatemala, David. This tutorial will help me a lot

[@DavidFinchartist]

I'm so glad! Greetings back!

[@bigprobllama]

This was a much needed tutorial. When I draw longer hair, from certain angles, they look stiff like playmobil hair wigs... Thank you David

[@DavidFinchartist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@heartsaliveart]

As the visually impaired artist, I really appreciate how you explain things and zoom in when you need to. That really helps me grasp the detail that is needed. Thank you very much!

[@elpela2099]

Thank you so much David. What you are doing with the channel is simply phenomenal.

[@DavidFinchartist]

I appreciate that!

[@mojoman1175]

She's straight up gorgeous. Great video as always,Sir

[@tom-ys2hy]

Massive respect from Japan!🙇‍♂️ I want to watch other hair tutorials like how to draw blond and colored hair or ringlet.

[@trueprojectzero]

Thank you so much, Dave! It means a lot to me to learn from you and to be able to improve so fast and keep the dream alive!

[@DavidFinchartist]

You're welcome! Keep pushing....it's so hard to do all the things you need to in order to get there, but it's absolutely worth it. And doing that work right away puts you light years ahead of anyone that won't

[@aerynsunn7500]

Aaaaaamazing! You give a wonderful breakdown of the technique. I’ve been drawing for 35+ years. This is the BEST Instructor I’ve ever found. Finally I can get some of those trickier items down! Woot! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you!

[@aleksandarmarkovic4992]

I love your work on ultimate x-men. The stand-alone issue 41 still stands as one of the best x-men i've ever read. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on youtube.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks a lot! That was the Wolverine in a cave issue, I think. That was Bendis at his best.

[@lookfordog]

You’re the best artist man. Thanks for the tutorial! Greetings from Connecticut lol

[@Diobrando-no1wy]

You draw this without sketch you are a master

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks! I've done it a whole lot. I sketch more when I need to for sure

[@richarddunn7017]

"I've basically got a hair line." I'm jealous, I'm bald. Lol

[@thenamesmango7235]

Richard Dunn well don’t be, David is bald too lmao

[@DavidFinchartist]

Haha, yeah.....I can relate with that. At least I can draw a hairline...

[@anthonygee3901]

You can always tell a Silvestri-trained artist by their hair. :D This is awesome, Dave! Thanks!

[@dagan8659]

forgive my ignorance, what does Silvestri-trained mean?

[@anthonygee3901]

[@SDW90808]

I’ve been binging on these videos the last couple of days. Amazing content. It’s like watching a magician revealing his tricks. Only obvious when you know how it’s done.

[@kontrolincorporated-gaming9015]

Always solid art and advice to be found here. For all the eye pleasing flash, there's a solid technical foundation in every drawing. Kudos! 👍

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks a lot!

[@Silver-xf7it]

I've been struggling with hair for months. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@theartjedi]

Thanks for making this David!!!! It’s so easy to understand, the way you break things down is amazing. Time to practice my hair skills

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks a lot Art Jedi! And thanks for your comments on the stream!

[@Appleblade]

I subscribed the minute you said "line of beauty," and explained the concept.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks! It's a very simple thing to incorporate in your work

[@Appleblade]

@@DavidFinchartist It is simple, but it's easy to miss if there's no name for it. It's a nice name, too. You also mentioned "opening a window" in the hair, I believe, to show layering / depth. Another winner.

[@russhicksart]

These tutorials are gold! Thanks so much for doing these Dave.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks Russ!

[@randomnative3630]

You are so good at explaining what you do that I hit the like buttons before I actually watch the videos. Thank you .

A long awaited tutorial . I always struggle to draw and render hair, especially dark hair...thanks a 1000 ...David ... My online Guru (teacher) !

[@DavidFinchartist]

Happy to help!

[@Dr.RockeART]

She looks amazing ☺️ Thank you for another great tutorial! Your hair always looks great on your drawings, now I know how to do so ☺️ Cheers and have a great day!

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks a lot, Dr. Rocke!!

[@labsquadmedia176]

Thanks for your clarity and the pauses to illustrate your terminology with the small side sketches. I also appreciate the advice to "erase and try it again" since the illusion of a finished drawing is that it was made with no mistakes in one continuous (and magically perfect) pass.

[@andrewdodd1918]

I must have watched this series a few times and still find it inspiring while I work on my practice sketches. I still find it funny how people see it as a magic trick when I draw something so fast.

[@Jiboby]

This was something that I really needed. Thanks David!

[@DavidFinchartist]

Welcome!

[@ray0fh0pe]

Ur back !!!! I follow ur art style in my drawings.

Another perfect tutorial!! Thanks Dave!! 👍 🙏 ✍️ ✏️

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks again!

[@artisticmuses]

The first video I’ve seen like this. I’m more interested in sketching. I work in colored pencils these days but the most money I’ve made was in the sketch, which was years ago. I want to get back to the basics to the beginning. Sketching portraits was my first love, but I got burnt out. Took me 5 years to get back to my beloved art. For me art is a need, not a want. It’s like food. Anyway I want to thank you so sincerely for these tutorials.

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks a lot, Rhonda!

I’m not really a comic style artist as far as my drawings go, but your step-by-step breakdowns and tutorials for composition and shading of everyday things are soo helpful. I’ve been practicing and trying to apply them to my daily drawings and doodles. Love your channel and love your work. 🔥🙌🏻

[@The72challenger]

I always think of hair in ribbons being twisted, hanging and draping over shoulders and then adding a couple thin strands flowing with the ribbon.

Thanks David for making this! Just wondering if we can have a video where you flip through some comics you have worked on and just talk through how you approached it or some behind the scenes commentary- idea from Sheldon in the discord just voicing it!

[@DavidFinchartist]

I'll do this...it's a great idea. It'll have to be a separate kind of video though. Not so much a tutorial

[@ariffsodri5953]

I noticed that the way u hold your pencil to sketch is higher (close to middle of the pencil) whereas i usually hold mine lower closer to the tip. Probably a bad habit of mine that i need to fix to be able to get flowy n smooth steady lines like you. Thank you for the awesome tutorials!

[@MarkGoldfine]

This looks very familiar 🤔🤣 Great tutorial, Dave 👍

[@DavidFinchartist]

Thanks Mark! Familiar to what? I mean....I'll grant you that I kind of tend to draw the same faces...

[@stevesunn2564]

Awesome video David! Hair is not as easy to draw as a lot of people think

[@DavidFinchartist]

For sure. It's easy once you get the hang of it, but getting there can be tough

[@ronaldolio76]

Hi David Thanks for letting us all watch you work. The Knowledge your passing on in your videos is priceless....In regards to drawing Hair have you seen the book by Jack Hamm Drawing the head and Figure there is a section called The Natural fall of Hair. I found it extremely helpful in understanding the way behaves. Thanks again Dave cant wait to see more.

[@jabellz3380]

I like how your videos are in real time and not spead up. It helps me grasp what you are talking about better. Keep up the good work! One question about drawing hair, could you do a video about drawing short curly hair? That's a hard one for me to get right. I know it's not the typical hairstyle in comics. Thanks in advance.

[@KillerTacos54]

Omg thank you!! I was waiting for a video on this topic. I hope some time you can make a video just roughing out a tonne (or a few but in more detail) of different hairstyles on both males and females

[@DavidFinchartist]

I did some other hairstyles and it ended up being an hour and a half long....I'm tring to figure out how to get the other stuff out there now. And thanks!

[@KillerTacos54]

David Finch that sounds amazing! Thanks so much. I was also wondering: when you’re drawing, do you draw your light source as an arrow or indicate it at all like you often do for your videos? Or do you just infer where the light source is given your experience?

[@ComicBookBob]

Great video David! For a future video, maybe another texture video tackling water and leather skin, and maybe a video on how to draw organized chaos like debris and rubble?

[@DavidFinchartist]

Yeah, actually, that list is perfect, thanks. I'm going to do exactly this very soon. Thanks Bob! Great to see you here.
