How to Draw Hair: Recap
Wow... That's a LOT of information! But now that all 3 steps have been covered in depth let's take a moment to do a quick recap on what we've learned.
Step 1: Sketch
Sketch in the hair, focusing on shape, flow and movement. Remember, less is more in the beginning, so keep it simple.
Step 2: Define
Increase detail by splitting up the larger chunks of hair into smaller locks, then define it with Weighted Contour Lines.
Step 3: Render
Render out the hair to add volume, depth and high level detail.
That's all there is to it folks!
