Hair | A Full Airbrush Painting Lesson

I wanted to make an in-depth hair painting tutorial, more so than my previous one, so here it is. Within this video I'll show you all the techniques that I use to paint realistic looking hair. Of course I will be using an airbrush to apply paint and we will be using a lot of negative techniques to remove highlights. I'll also discuss a bit of art history and common mistakes when painting hair. This lesson is geared towards the beginner, so I tried my best to walk you through the entire process. Hopefully this one is helpful! If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below so that I can get back to you. Thanks!

I am just starting with airbrush work. I’ve got to say that watching you has really inspired me. Thank you for helping all of us out here.

[@theartworkshop]

kind of you to say that! thanks so much.

[@jeffsimon3114]

Great video. Very informative. How about a video on very curly, African American type hair as that seems to be quite a bit more difficult to achieve. Thanks.

[@theartworkshop]

Excellent question! There is actually very little difference between curly and straight hair, no matter the ethnicity. Each curl is the same technique of dark, light, dark gradients. I'll def be making a video about this in the future.

[@RyanJobbagyFineArt]

Another great demo! Thank you!

Hello from NY. I really appreciate your tutorial on airbrushing techniques. I learned a lot in 15 minutes of your video. I'm dying to try airbrushing. Will look for the same items you used. Thank you so much for the video. :)

[@theartworkshop]

so glad to hear that. thank you!

[@noellatraves5365]

So helpful thankyou ❤

[@mwebb-01]

Good one with guessing who. I recognized it real quick. Mark I love the fact you add art history to your videos. I don't think there is a other airbrush artist who incorporates this with their work like you do. Thanks again.

[@marekireland1766]

Perfect mr teacher

[@theartworkshop]

lol thanks man

[@washingtonirwing]

Köszönjük!

[@theartworkshop]

Thanks so much Washington!! How are the drawings & paintings going? I bet each one is getting a bit better than the last

[@washingtonirwing]

@@theartworkshop Everything is going better. I have understood the basics. Shadow-light handling, using the blending stump, how to handle different pencils. There is still a lot to practice, but it is really fun. Thank you el Maestro! I wish you a Merry Christmas!

[@theartworkshop]

@@washingtonirwing and you will just keep on getting better! sky is the limit. i'm so happy to hear that your having fun with it too, which is so important! it's hard work at times, but the pleasure that we all get out of drawing or painting makes it all worthwhile. Merry Christmas to you and your family Washington. Thanks again!

[@clydekoon5431]

Any tips on painting realistic blonde hair Mark?

[@cyrilpreece2658]

I struggle with hair and this is a great help. One question, I can't seem to get a realistic blonde hair colour can you advise please?

[@03Manne]

Super Video vielen lieben Dank 👍

[@agairbrush]

Hi Thanks, I wanted to ask if you do a similar tutorial on a black background.

[@armanrezaei5518]

Amazing

[@alexfaktor136]

This is excellent. I've seen other hair tutorials but this one really helps me understand what I was doing wrong; spraying in areas completely and not using soft dagger strokes to build the texture. I also need to do more erasing with the blade and eraser. It seems like you used those tools as much if not more than the airbrush. Working one area at a time as you do, and not jumping around, will help as well. Thank you for another great video! Wish you made more than one a week. ;)

[@lexzbuddy]

Amazing, thank you

[@theartworkshop]

Thank you back!

[@abbiebeast]

excellent thank you

[@theartworkshop]

Glad it helped!!

[@jeffreygriffith1449]

Hey, how’s it going ? How do you paint hair on metal ? Can you scrape it with an x-acto knife like on canvas or is there something else to use or do ? Thanks

[@mancsy3262]

What air brush are you using?

[@MySpooky10]

Any tutorials on airbrushing light Blonde hair?

[@theartworkshop]

Not yet! I have a black and white one from a few weeks back that might be of some help. You can try using the color sepia instead of black and it will look pretty close to blonde.

[@goforitpainting]

wow

[@karabasbarabas642]

[@emmanmercurio7612]
