Wonderful tutorial! I avoid human hair at all costs haha, it is my top fear second only to hands I think... This tutorial explains it in simple terms though, I feel like I might be able to learn it with help of your video.

[@M3lart]

Thanks Ella! I remember avoiding hair when I started out too! I think keeping it really simple when you start out is best. HANDS, on the other hand, are still terrifying no matter how many times I draw them 😆😂
