I tried to include all sorts of hairstyles and textures and how I illustrate them from start to finish.
Hopefully this provides some insight into my process and method ^^
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I try to answer them :)

[@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!

[@araere-bz8wv]

lmao bro speedran straight into it like first 10 seconds im used to utube videos having a 3 minute long meaningless intro

[@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

[@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.

[@mayelenym]

Thank you so much for making this video! I love the way you explain the different kinds of hair while using the same steps to draw them, it's a clear process and the things you pay attention to for drawing are very helpful!! Your way of drawing hair is great I love how flowy it looks and I'm glad you showed how you draw hair :) I've learned a lot from this and your videos, the editing and aesthetic of your videos is really cool as well!

[@Neo00_0o]

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

[@inavan_me]

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

[@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

[@YuYu-qs8mz]

The best guide of hair drawings!

[@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! :)

[@kobzarivna]

This tutorial looks lovely! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@kurohshiro]

I am happy to hear! Thanks :3 Hope to share more in the future^^

[@ashleyxxbruh3125]

I’m in love with your style and how you render hair, thank you so much for this tutorial💓

[@vener_a]

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

[@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

[@joyscorpse6124]

your channel is honestly such a gem im upset that i havent found it sooner !!! i love how your process is really thorough and easy to follow, and i love how you give us many different examples!! love the editing, love the rendering and the breakdowns, thank you so much

THE MOST HELPFUL HAIR TUTORIAL EVER

[@ShinyFood]

i love this style thank you, I can't wait to try it out

[@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! 😊

[@maydraw113]

cara isso que é um tutorial de vdd ameeiii❤❤❤

[@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 ✨

[@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 :)

[@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!!

[@dis-ven]

Never watched a tutorial this precise tysm!

[@bunnyl0v3r45]

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

[@O-0_]

I adore your drawings soo much ♥️ Your tutorials are very helpful and understandable, and your art style is very beautiful!♥️

[@kurohshiro]

Gosh, thank you! Glad to hear that the videos are understandable :)

[@O-0_]

​@@kurohshiroThank you so much!♥️

[@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 :)

[@DxvilAshxs]

I love how good and clean your art looks! I also use csp and ur tutorial has helped me a lot with how I render! Hope to see more of ur wonderful videos soon ^^

[@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!!!

[@drendraleigh4722]

This is so informative amd straight to the point. I love the tutorial so much.

[@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 🥹

[@me1odyw991]

I'm gonna cry 😭 your art is so beautiful

[@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 :)

[@muwamuwa52]

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!!

[@NarukamiOTC]

I've always found your videos very informative and I really admire your artstyle! Will definitely give this method a try!

[@kurohshiro]

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 ^^

[@Nobody-tt4uh]

The art style is immaculate

[@andzapilado5908]

Love this process!

[@kurohshiro]

[@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

[@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^^

[@westoncozza4768]

This was so helpful, thank you for sharing your process of drawing hair

[@STRIKENSUN4001]

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.

[@minusmyplus.7563]

man this is what I looking for! thanks!!👍👍

[@dalazyartist]

😭💖🔥this was the best tutorial

[@mellorin44]

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

I seriously thank you for this amazing tutorial. Drawing hair is one of my biggest difficulties when it comes to drawing. But your guidance makes it feel so much more doable and less overwhelming 😭😭😭 Tysmm for sharing this with us. Also Congrats on 100k!!❤❤

[@kurohshiro]

[@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❤❤❤❤

[@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)

[@jessical1278]

Thank you sm ❤🥹

[@-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 ^^

[@shanthimolmaheendra2882]

Wow Absolutely Gorgeous 👏👏👍👍👍

[@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 ^^

[@user-ox5js8yx2v]

Nice!!❤

[@nir5434]

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

[@GhostWytch]

Love this, thank you so much for sharing. Learning new things in CSP is also a huge help! T^T

[@NiniNyxii]

I love your Style, Thank you for this amazing Tutorial 💖

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! :)

[@iszuhu3613]

I love this, your art style is so crunchy and sharp and elegant omg, I came from twitter, but still enjoyed this tutorial, thanks!!!

[@kurohshiro]

That's awesome to know :) I want my tutorials to be as close as possible to my usual illustrations :)

[@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!

[@GuranPurin]

Your tutorial videos are always right on time!😭 Whenever I'm struggling with something, your video always addresses it. ☺Hair is always so hard to me, especially long hair. I just never really know where the shadows go so I'll try to follow your process! ☺Thank you so much for your helpful videos!!

[@kurohshiro]

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!

[@nondo3939]

i love thiss 😍😍😍

[@_shiba_inu26_]

Thank you Kuroh.Shiro for another amazing tutorial it’s so helpful and motivating! I love your work! And your videos are very helpful! Thank you again!

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! Happy to hear it helps^^

[@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

[@abdomahmoud323]
