How I Got Good at Drawing Hair - 5 Tips that Changed Everything

[@oridays]

(2024.6) UPDATE: Since a lot of people requested it I made the hair coloring tutorial! You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipXZZqSqo8alotE --------- Thanks for watching and I hope these tips can help out! Drawing hair is hard for real, so don't worry if you're struggling to get it at the start - that's perfectly normal. The important thing is to keep on practicing 💪

[@muqrizabedin7672]

Can you do something that's sketch friendly? Like for people that draw on a sketch book, not like a tablet or something, please?

[@muhammadwildan4877]

thank you very much!

[@TopatTom]

Thanks man! Now i need to learn how to put it on paper

[@LucyGenshin]

um is it possible to draw like you with a mouse or do you use a special tool like a pen?

[@Default_Rain]

PLEASE. I'd love to see a coloring tutorial

[@hisam5958]

uppp

[@dracokiro]

yesssss pleease do

[@App-8491]

^

[@kayaa5359]

Yes please!!

[@sarberry_castle]

i want too!!

[@LannyLeArtist]

O. M. G. I WAS SO STRESSED OUT DRAWING HAIR BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE AN IMAGE ON THE HEAD, BUT THIS LITERALLY HELPED SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOU❤️

[@swisdom9117]

Dude idk how your videos are free! The leveling up mindset 2:11 is absolute genius!!

[@PanzerPanic]

I did a free trial on skillshare (overpriced) and these tutorials are much better

[@sparkleshangout6311]

Thank you this helps a lot because for me I would focus on “THIS HAS TO BE PERFECT I HAVE TO MAKE THIS PERFECT” or “My drawing sucks I have to make it better” but after this video I learned that mostly caused stress on me just like when I was younger I would tell my mom “my drawings look better when I’m drawing because I’m bored but when I actually am trying and wanna draw it looks bad” and I honestly really struggle with hair so thank you ❤

[@Nyokicat99]

actively crying cause im so frustrated. some drawings i can do well and others look like they werent even drawn by me, my art is so inconsistent and hair is just one of those things i constantly struggle with. shading, hair, hands, feet..... i just wanna tear my notebook apart

[@squashbanana]

Practice won't give you up, I believe in you!

[@ilovecoffee4978]

True. As a new digital artist after enough time I can make the entire character look good. And then comes the shading and coloring.

[@carminamusic6148]

The pictures and videos you see are from artists who have spent years practicing and hours on that specific piece. Thats years of bad drawings, art classes,sometimes art school, and studying fundamentals. You have the whole rest of your life to be able to learn don’t stress that wont make you a better artist.

[@seki3923]

same, but all my drawings looks like they're made by a 10 year old even if i pass hours making it.

[@eyes5877]

ran out of juice.

[@daveroll6463]

4:20 this actually has an official term for it! They are called "tangents", where you can either have a tangent where two lines meet wrong, or patterns are repeating unnaturally, distracting the eyes

[@justsomenightowl7220]

I love your tutorials! Other artists have the same tips, but their style is realistic, so I didn't really understand how to apply them to my art. Watching you reference anatomy for your anime-style drawings helps a lot :p

[@staryxz2610]

Another quality tutorial form Ori-sama, I'm in love with your style so these tips are very helpful 😭🙏🙏 Would love to see the coloring tutorial!

[@nikecoro2606]

Coloring tutorial would be amazing! Coloring is the one thing I struggle with the most, I just can't seem to pick out a good color (either comes out too dark or light so I try using the tonal correction to help in s lot of my decisions)

[@NerdEmoji1067]

Hot take: hair is harder than hands

[@Blandyandy123]

I cant draw either of them well, so i wouldnt know 💀.

[@shinystar___]

Hands are harder to draw for me, hair can take multiple ways and styles to draw while hands well, has specific mass and shape that is usually small which makes it hard to get the angles right without planning or guidelines

[@SilentCrimsonOx]

I’ve literally never drawn a good hand 😭 but I have drew good hair

[@userisfree]

I am the only one who agrees

[@THE_BARNABY-GUY]

Well I can draw short hair so I'll tell ya It's like a string that you repeat while the hands has way too much detail to perfect it💀

[@nikecoro2606]

Thank you for this hair tutorial! I have always wanted to draw hair in style similar to yours and anime illustrations, but most times I feel they come out flat and more cartoonish. I'll give these methods a shot next time I draw and see how it goes!

[@swisdom9117]

7:16 you are such a great teacher. That demonstration at the end really drove everything home for me. Gonna split up the head in one of my sketches now so that I can retain this info by doing

[@anti8666]

letss goo new upload!

[@oridays]

It's been ages so I'm excited to finally post a new one too!

[@itsmidnight2637]

Your advice is some of the best and most genuine advice I've seen! This is super helpful thank you!!

[@SarahLoveDeer]

I've been wanting to get better at adding detail in my art, and this is gonna be a major help! Simple to understand, easy to remember tricks, awesome tutorial!

[@torkyrico267]

I'd watch all your video that are uploaded and my art skill turn out better than last time, thanks for the tips😊

[@rafaelsaraiva371]

Damn, this was the best tutorial i've ever seen about hair. I mean, i watched literally dozens of videos of hair and couldn't get it done, untill now. THANKS!

[@TaraHayes-l1t]

i have been following you for 7 years your videos inspired me to draw thank you😅

[@GaigeLynka]

The amounts of time I give up because drawing hair are ridiculous even though i watch tons of tutorial nom of them help but this, this is very helpful because the way you explain is very great and so many information so Thank You

[@oridays]

Good luck and keep on practicing!

[@some.randomartperson]

bro u are my savior 😭 all the other tutorials i could never understand. finally someone who makes things understandable😌

[@ichao354]

after finally taking drawing seriously i can watch this fully

[@ahyusoo]

face tips -eyes are in the middle of the head (vertically) -tail of eyes lead to top of ears -nose is aligned with ears hope it will help you

[@iconic.menace.]

I have pretty bad anxiety when it comes to many things & that includes my drawings. I've been trying to improve my art (by actually finishing it) but there are so many steps I'm trying to do at once that I haven't actually harnessed enough to do, so trying to do a bunch of things I *cant* all at once has been burning me out. I took a couple days to get away from this overwhelming feeling, since my skills with art mean A LOT to me. But the 2 MAIN things I've been struggling with lately are drawing hair, & clothes properly so that it can match my ability to draw bodies/anatomy (which in the long run still need work too since I've always done sketches & never complete artwork.) I have a lot to actually get through before getting to the starting point I wanna be at, & finding videos like these that REALLY break everything down helps out a lot. So I'd just like to say thank you for posting this for people to watch, & thank you for soothing my anxiety & doubts I have against my art skills 🥲🥲

[@Hatsune-Miku_Fan]

Really easy to understand and good drawing,thank you

[@25bokosYT]

As a person who is new to art and just got a drawing tablet, I would like to say thank you. This is going to help me a lot in the years to come.

[@flopjack12]

as someone who's been struggling for a really long time, i'd like to personally thank you for this video

[@hosenka1]

i'd been waiting for an upload !! thanks so much for the video !!! ありがちうございます！！！ edit: please do upload a coloring video!! it'd make me veery happy!! thanks again for the video!!

[@oridays]

おまたせ！Thanks for the nice comment :)

[@archimedeis]

Yup coloring tutorial would be really helpful. I think the tip about AO really was what I was looking for. I could never get my hair to look like it was actually look like it was a part of the character

[@jimiwills]

Layers. I'm so envious of digital artists.

[@IceNKaffe]

alright, that the shining reference sold me. imma subbing.

[@itsmike9032]

Ur backk!!

[@oridays]

I am!

[@meta.5studios]

Thanks to you I now know how to draw hair. When my project is finished, you're gonna be in the Special Thanks credit roll.

[@sowzzzz7938]

Yes make color one if you can thanks

[@rjcheems3041]

This is so effective! Immediately gave me a way to not mess up hair and observe it in perspective. Solid video, very informative.

[@deppitup]

Good short and to the point thank you! This video was explained super well 💕

[@oswaldmensin5283]

Wow... I was HATING HAIR. Super awesome tips! Seriously needed this!! Thank you

[@Ailyloves]

thank you for sharing your tips! I especially love the ‘level up drawing system’ one. 💛 I think of that as like, start simple then get complex later. but yours is more easy-to-remember! I’d love to see you make a tutorial on colouring hair.

[@irisran]

loving the tensura slime references

[@solsenu]

I loved learning while watching this, thank you!

[@Skyler-Thorson]

Thank you, for the longest time I've been struggling with anime hair

[@grimla7883]

my personal hair drawing method is just... i know what the hair looks like in the various areas, so i add on lines for hair there until it looks good. i use lots of sketchy lines until its the right shape and length and then i can erase what was unnecessary and boom, now i can either colour it or do lineart over top. my workflow/order seems quite different to yours, (particularly how polished your final products are... i usually just erase and redraw the sketch over and over until it looks nice) but the tip on avoiding grass was a really helpful explanation putting into words all of the trial and error i get with redrawing longer stretches of hair ends. most of my art growth has just come from trial and error over the years and your videos are really helpful in having a more concrete concept of the things ive taught myself and the things ive been struggling with.

[@And-cn8ru]

Ori-sama your my inspiration! Imma do my best!!

[@sen_chura]

It was very helpful, thank you very much! ^.^ your voice sounds very calming. Please continue with the videos! :3

[@animeoperator]

Was like let's watch another turorial that gives zero insight but, I heard Oridays voice and was like NOPE it's gonna be a banger. Lol Didn't even notice the name until the voice😂 Holy crap

[@Viv1992]

Thanx a lot for this video! I can finally improve the quality of the hair I draw. It will be gradual and I'll need to come back often but it's already helpful to stepping it up

[@abiyakhawar]

Thank you so much!!! ❤ your tutorials are amazing 😇 I'm a new subscriber and I just don't understand why I didn't find your channel earlier 👀 anyways, thank you so much for these tutorials , you teach all those tips that many artists don't reveal. People like me who can't afford to pay to learn from patreon , this is really helpful 😭❤ PS : we'd definitely like a hair coloring tutorial

[@mitsuki_yukino]

Ah! I just found your channel!! It's pure gold!! Thank you so much! hope you make the coloring one i don't know why it's so difficult if looks easy ToT

[@Vivid_pixcel]

Some great tips. If you want to go for that slightly more realistic look instead of a whorl you can go from a the part in their hair. Which isn’t necessarily always straight in the center too be aware of it. also sometimes for like idols they go out of their way to have like a perfectly strait, monotonous line on the bangs and in that situation id so go for it because it is intended but it doesn’t have to be a perfectly symmetrical, flat line. Slightest of variations will sell the illusion they also sold to you to make you want to draw it ;)

[@AdamNaufal1]

I'm Actually 12 Years Old Learning this.. Thanks for the tutorial!!

[@LycorisLilyP]

Came for the hair tips, stayed for the hair tips and the based Lappy art 😌🙏🏻 I've been trying to draw a bit for some character designs in a game I'd like to make, so I'll definitely be putting this video to good use! Thanks a bunch

[@senflyer-]

Thank you for this tutorial! The way you explained it was easy to understand, and the grass rule was a tip I hadn't heard before.

[@MidnightEkaki]

I would consider myself quite advanced at drawing, however my style is very rough. I have drawn hair many many times but this is the first time I've thought about drawing hair like ribbons, great stuff! Still need to get better at drawing smooth lines though haha.

[@carladetering3210]

Eyes are super easy when you know your style. And know certain tips.👀

[@bigverybigveryverybigveryv9829]

ao isn't only good for your hairs, it's extremely useful for line art in general

[@aspebb]

Colouring is always appreciated

[@Mrmysterious-dj1ov]

Never call art crappy 😂say you are part of my practice thank you ☺️ for being part my journey that may learn and grow I created you and I will improve so that I may make more beautiful art

[@TMEYT]

Is this an avatar reference 🫣

[@MikeZeOfficialM8]

Ye

[@shuraaki]

this is the only hair drawing video ive ever found that ACTUALLY talked about DRAWING the hair, not js colouring it😭😭😭

[@TimmiTami]

Thank you for this, this is very helpful. Also, love your art!

[@sunnyzyt]

This helped me too much. Like seriously, I feel like I can do anything.

[@Salted_.]

dude thank you so much, these tips really helped me, my hairs look so much better

[@No_One_7136]

Art senpai and oridays Is the WAY to learn to draw🌝

[@hentaimonster]

I have heard the sms or ssm strand thickness referenced as the 136 method. 10% 30% and 60% thickness of the different parts to equal 100% of a section of hair. Useful easy way to remember it and have more natural looking hair.

[@historicalwater7153]

The main thing everyone should have when drawing, especially hair, is patience. You need to know that at first, your hair drawings will look really bad, but as long as you keep practicing, it will get better. Anyways, great tutorial, really helped me improve.

[@alucia6893]

Id love to see a video with the colour help for hair!

[@S0REZ]

Lovee these short bite size tutorials!!

[@RasPopCat]

This video is amazing, thank you for your help!

[@ThOnlyHamForYou]

I was actually expecting some kind of hair types and kinds tips

[@KaydenHaley-ht1nl]

No bs straight to the point

[@pearlizm]

thank you!! im not sure how to explain but can you make a tutorial on like how to draw loose strands? ive always struggled with those and it made the hair in the final product look like a poorly carved figure, like plastic hair without details so if you could make a tutorial on how, where etc. thatd be great!! sorry if it sounds weird that i need a tutorial on something that minor 😓

[@AnonningAnon]

I've now watched 2 videos from you. I applied your 1,2,3 shading method and improved so much in just 2 days of practice, now I'm going to start another drawing with your lineart tips for hair incorporated in it, while working on the shading once again. You make things so much easier to work through for someone going from traditional art to digital. Some of these tips I wouldn't know to add naturally to digital, when I just naturally do it on paper. Thank so you!

[@HourRomanticist]

Digital art looks so much easier to erase and make the lines look small yet defined. This is my number one issue with the pencil. I keep stacking lines until i get the idea of what it looks like, but then i need to erase and redo.

[@kittyxd6474]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I have been trying to find the ribbon thing in hair im subbing

[@fazzyfreddyfazzy5768]

THANK U GGGGGGGG man this really helps me understand more about hair and not making my hair into GRASS

[@FlamingBeat]

You draw so good...i like to draw but i don't like how my works looks 😭 It just looks good if i'm imitating it, but it still look not good. I must immerse myself into drawing more, thanks for the tutorial though! I might've learned a thing or two, especially that ribbon hair technique.

[@CGame_R4ven]
