How I Draw Anime Hair ✒️Start to End: My Full Digital Process [Clip Studio Paint Tutorial]

[@BreadedNuggetss]

I've gotta say, I genuinely love your rendering style! you're one of my main art inspirations

[@kurohshiro]

Ohh wow, thanks a lot! This means a lot to me :)

[@pj-wille]

I feel like for once Im finally learning the actual "hows" of designing the hair details. Most hair tutorials don't really give me an idea of why they do they spacing and sizes they do, but only cover the general tips and speak in "feeling language" that really only makes sense to someone who already knows what do. Thank you for this!

[@alexandrakeruchii]

Bless you for this, rendering and drawing hair is one of my most difficult things to do 😭. I'mma have to set aside time to study all of your vids, cause they're a treasure. Thank you 🥹

[@kurohshiro]

Oh gosh, I am happy to hear this! For me the sketch and lineart was the most complicated, so I enjoy rendering the most^^ I hope it could provide some insight in that matter :3

[@rottenkittenparvo]

@@kurohshiroTHANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! i love you so much i will literally rip my beating heart out and serve it to you on a silver platter

[@urhandsomegf]

you ARE my fav artist on youtube, your art and your tutorials are amazing, I do want you to become famous but also wanna gatefeep you omg 😭😭😭

[@vener_a]

rendering is so hard man.. i literally feel like i've learned so much from this. thank you so much!!

[@rui359]

Thank you so much Kuroshiro for breakdown the diff hair strands. I haven't seen anyone else drawn it out step by step and then give examples of how diff hair strands can be combined to make everything come together.

[@inavan_me]

EVEN WHEN U NOT WORRYING ABT THE PERFECT LINEART YOURS IS JUST AS PERFECT AS THE FINAL RENDER! OH M GEE!

[@TheWannnn]

The hair in this tutorial is very good. It has a somewhat rough and voluminous art style, as well as detail in the hair folds, etc.

[@thevioletcreator]

Im so emotional right now. 🥺 I tried drawing hair for years. Watched many many videos. Most of them either speed ran through it or just used one black colour to do everything. It was so helpful to see where to erase and join the strands and your use of a different colour to do the details helped to understand how they are layering.. Im gone cry now 🥹

[@YuYu-qs8mz]

The best guide of hair drawings!

[@TronaRi05]

this was such a comprehensive breakdown of how to draw hair. i've really been struggling recently, but i feel like this has opened a new doorway for me ;v;

[@who_o0o11]

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! I was struggling with my artstyle so much i wanted to quit art as a whole! thank God i found ur channel before i was completely burnt out :D Im gonna be starting my study of ur artstyle tomorrow

[@Kawashi11]

I'll tell you, drawing on mobile is the hardest thing of all, making hair look "hard" and well done is an almost impossible mission, part of the hair rendering is even more difficult. That's why I saved this video to watch over and over again!

[@tormenta-q4p]

bro you really saved me, drawing hair is the most difficult thing to me mostly bc of the strands (I doesn't know how to make a good looking one) and this really saved me, tysm for making a such good video!!

[@stephanieinjuly]

I am so for real that you have finally made drawing hair click for me. It's something I've struggled with as I always get lost in all of the strands but literally the 5 styles of strands, then mixing them together is so so helpful. Thank you so much!

[@death__ray]

I've been drawing for a long time now and never had I ever thought of using anime wigs as reference for drawing simplified hair lol that's a super tip!!

[@kazuokii]

this helped sm, i dont usually comment in videos but i just want to say that this was so useful and helpful thanks for this

[@kazuokii]

im late but still nice video

[@mellorin44]

the way your organised the details shapes in the beginning is just genius 😭👍

[@kurohshiro]

I am glad you like especially this section! I thought a thing like a small lexikon may be helpful to refer to :)

[@parystyrell]

I was just looking for a hair tutorial and now i can get one from an art god, ty❤

[@kurohshiro]

Ah just at the right time! I am so glad^^

[@akjdhasd]

omg cosplay wigs are actually smart ive never thought abt it when drawing

[@-rei.start-]

aaa, thank you! i love your artstyle. but also on top of that, you break down how to get the hair looking light and flowy, simplifying it so that way it's easy to understand. thank you!

[@kurohshiro]

This is amazing to hear! I am glad the process was understandable :) I am always thinking of what information I would need in order to draw. So I try to structure the videos based on that ^^

[@ZhongZi]

Love the subtitles! Love the music! Love the editing! LOVE YOUR DRAWINGS! It's been so long since I've finished an art tutorial without skipping a second! Thank you so much for this! The way you showcase your process is really clear and satisfying!

[@kurohshiro]

Oh wow seriously! That's absolutely amazing to hear, so sweet. I really appreciate this. Thank you so much 🖤

[@ZhongZi]

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!@@kurohshiro

[@maratox]

Thank you so much for showcasing different types of strands and how you combine them! This is such a game-changer, every other video I've come across only talks about sections of hair and where it originates on the head, and yes-- while it's important, it can only take you so far. I've always been wondering if there were some sort of logic to strands and how other artists seem to freestyle them so easily, and this answers so many of my questions. Once again, thank you for the great tutorial!

[@kurohshiro]

Aw I am happy to hear! I love following a basic pattern I can apply to the majority of my work. It speeds up my drawing process. Especially when it's something logical. So thanks a lot for your feedback and comment :) I am glad it provides some help! :)

[@bunnyl0v3r45]

I’ve personally always had such a difficult time drawing hair, thanks for the video! :D

[@hglee403]

It really helps me improve my drawing, enthusiastic thanks from a Vietnamese subscriber

[@kurohshiro]

Aw thank you! Glad to hear :3

[@mkr3976]

I requested this tutorial!!! Thank you Thank you so so much for this 🙏🏻😭I’m so grateful for this

[@kurohshiro]

Ahw thanks for the request! I am glad to hear peoples input and ideas and trying to provide a video :)

[@Nobody-tt4uh]

The art style is immaculate

[@SetoyaFan01]

Wow, this was, by far, the most straightforward and useful video I have ever seen on KZbin. Most of the time, I get confused with where and why they add those crescent-shaped strands on some parts of the hair, mostly 'cause they never even explained. I'm a beginner, by the way, but thanks for adding every single piece of info I actually needed in order to grow more as an artist! Great video!!!

[@macwatson93]

This is literally the thing I have been struggling with, but couldnt figure out how to approach it. Absolutely helps!

[@kurohshiro]

Ahh so happy to hear! Thanks for letting me know :)

[@ADarkrei_Old]

Thank you so much for your tutorials! I've learned a lot from watching them. This one is another great one, especially because of all the examples you show. Also love your artstyle, editing and BGM choices

[@kurohshiro]

oh that's awesome to know! Thanks^^ Sometimes I am not sure if the music is too calm or too fast or prominent. I am glad you like it :3

[@STRIKENSUN41]

I'm at a stage where I am trying to level up my hair. I really appreciate the 5 different hair shapes and combining them as that can give a quick exercise to practice the general shape. I also must admit I never thought to use cosplay wigs as a reference.

[@rottenegg5823]

Ngl it kinda looks like the exact way AI always renders the hair. But you have that magic human touch and it looks awesome ✨

[@henoji777]

Woah I didn't know you could have a mirrored 2ne window! In addition to this technique I also am inspired to try that. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@yorulost]

I was actually about to look up how to paint hair and this came on at the perfect time!! i love how you draw all of your characters aaaah i just love your art style💗💗makes me wanna steal it👹🔪

[@kurohshiro]

Woah what a coincidence, I am glad haha Thanks for your comment :)

[@clover9532]

Thank you so much for this 😭I was literally struggling on hair and had to search up a few tutorials lately, and you came out with this!!! No longer have to look anywhere else!!!!!

[@kurohshiro]

Haha thanks that amazing to know ^^ I try to make my videos understandable and easy to follow. Sometimes I don't know if general tutorials like this are more helpful than when I use one illustration and show my entire process from start to end

[@Pirogok01]

Incredible video made me start drawing again after huge block, tyyy❤❤❤

[@kurohshiro]

That's awesome to hear! So happy for you :3

[@nir5434]

Ah...best hair making video I've ever seen

[@lanazager5931]

this is such a helpful video! also i really like how you got around the clicking sound bothering some people but still using something to signal that theres text on the screen:)

[@kurohshiro]

Yeah lol I thought that it's just such an important thing of my videos that I don't want to get rid of it. And seriously, I tried. Downloaded other people's clicking sounds, tried different sounds and so on but the og mouse click is unbeatable haha

THE MOST HELPFUL HAIR TUTORIAL EVER

[@paolasistemas6746]

using cosplay wigs for reference is actually genius! i never would have thought of that, great vid ❤❤

[@kurohshiro]

Ahh true! I find them to be helpful because they basically simplify the shapes for you ^^

[@dis-ven]

Never watched a tutorial this precise tysm!

[@me1odyw991]

I'm gonna cry 😭 your art is so beautiful

[@zantryumi]

IMPRESSIVE, love this rendering process. i've always struggling with this kind of hair rendering back then. till i meet this guide. the combined hair strands fundamentals 1:55 is really helped me a lot of new ways to draw hairs.

[@kurohshiro]

I am so happy to know that especially this part was helpful. I love basic instructions which are easy and clear so I thought this part is new to other hair tutorials ^^

[@myko_sry]

7:06 That's very useful to draw Teto's hair, or Bronya (honkai impact 3rd)

[@tannieyah5977]

I finally had the time to try out this tutorial after numerous attempts on trying to draw good hair (each attempt failed). THIS IS THE HAIR ART STYLE IVE ALWAYS WANTED 😭😭😭 I am so satisfied with the finished product that I’m disappointed that I gave my character an extremely boring look , BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 🎉❤ one step closer to my dream artstyle!!

[@tannieyah5977]

Also I’m really glad that I could somehow apply of this to traditional drawing (I’m surprised it worked)

[@thinkinguwu]

Thank you so much for this!!! Hair is something I've always struggled with, but your tips seriously helped things click with me! Especially the "Hair Fundamentals" section where you show off the possible shapes and combining them! 🙏

[@kurohshiro]

I am glad it could help you! I was thinking of my go to shapes u always draw when it comes to hair. So I thought a small collection of these would be helpful :)

[@RoominaSarina]

Thank you very much. The information I learn from your videos is like a gem. I can say that your videos are the most informative and complete KZbin videos in the field of digital art❤❤❤❤

[@adelinecarney4392]

Late comment, but you have one of the most aesthetically-pleasing artstyle I've ever seen. The strokes look soft and fluid at the same time, and I adore the way you draw the character's eyes. They're hypnotizing. This is a great tutorial too. I always wondered why my hair looks so stiff and blocky until now lol. The breakdown of the 5 different types of hair strands was what I was looking for this entire time without knowing. I know you probably don't take request, but I'd love to see a tutorial on drawing expressions and how it affects the eye shape - that's something that I struggled with alot. Especially when it comes to keeping the character's eye shape consistent. I'd love to learn how to improve that from an experienced artist like you. Anyway, underrated channel. Underrated artist. you earned a sub! 😊

[@glubsurleseuil]

I think I finally found the tutorial that will actually help me to improve my hair drawing skill. Thank you so much for sharing all this content ! You are an amazing artist =)

Wow, that's amazing to hear! Have fun^^ I always love trying out new things and see if they are working, and even if not, maybe there's something to take from for your own personal process ^^

[@mave_mave]

I like the rendering part, I get to learn how different artists shade the hair. Thank you for the tutorial! ❤

[@kurohshiro]

It's always interesting to see all the ways of coloring hair haha I think it's nice to see what you like and then adjust it to your process^^

[@Foxtrot_xx]

Thank you so much for the informative video!! Hair is such a struggle for me and this was very useful, it’s always so satisfying to watch your process. Your work is so detailed, I absolutely love your art style! I love it when people add tons of strands like that and I definitely want to try applying it to my work, you explained it so well!! Thanks again for the video, God bless!🖤

[@kurohshiro]

What an amazing comment to read! This is wonderful to hear that you like my style and the process! Actually my hair is fairly simple compared to other people's way of drawing hair ^^ I think a huge difference are the strands. Once they are added the overall hair looks more detailed :)

i have been on an art block for the last two months, just constantly hating and erasing everything ive been putting on a canvas. watching this video gave me a new streak of inspiration, and ive binged all your other tutorial videos since. your art skill is astounding already, but your ability to also break down and actually teach/walk through an audience as to what your actual process is is incredible as well. thank you so very much for these videos; i feel like i'm learning new things even just watching your speedpaints. instant sub, and looking forwards to your next video !

[@kurohshiro]

Gosh, you don't know how flattering your comment is. That's absolutely wonderful to hear and shows me that I am doing things right. Thanks a lot for your kind words. I am wishing you the best for your art. I know sometimes it's more troublesome than fun, right now I am experiencing the same, but it'll be fine sooner or later. Sometimes the changing impulse comes sooner than expected ^^

this is the most helpful "how to video" i have ever found thank you so much for posting this! I don't know why but this clicked so much, compared to other vidoes.

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thanks! Usually I don't like to name my videos 'how to' as if that's the only valid way of doing this. I prefer to call it 'my way of...' Or "how I draw..." But I am glad you think it's useful :)

Ahh that's a happy coincidence! Glad to know it could help. Honestly long hair was always a thing I struggled with but when you keep the rendering simple but focusing on a nice silhouette / shape it becomes pretty easy :) good luck on your process!

amazing tutorial as always and the editing was really seamless too! I really should use the lasso tool more often ;---; it looks very useful from all the tutorials I've seen

I was actually too demotivated to draw today but now I feel like doing some hair sketches for practice, thanks 😂

What a bliss to hear haha but seriously once I touch a pen and bring myself to sit down and draw it becomes easier and I don't want to stop. So sometimes it just needs a little motivation ^^

[@Ebunic]

I really like your artstyle and watching how you've improved from your older videos. If possible I want to see how you draw and render eyes❤

[@kurohshiro]

oh you see the difference! That's wonderful to hear^^ May I ask what changed to the better? I have a short video on rendering eyes, but I can make a small guide for this, it's really nothing special, so maybe a short will do the job^^

[@Ebunic]

@@kurohshiro If you ask me, I think your style has become very prominent and your rendering have also become more stylized. Just keep up the good work and keep being a big inspiration for me and everyone. OOH one last thing, if anything you have to make a guide on 'hands'. Out of all the artists I've seen, I think your way is the best, even 'sexy'..not in a weird way though 😂.
