[Lesson 15] Blod Hair
I love, love, LOVE painting hair and creating all kinds of hairstyles!
The hair is able to concede to the illustration its own personality – just like in real life – besides, it looks GORGEOUS 🙂
So in this, and the following two lessons, you’ll see how to paint different kinds of hair and hairstyles. I’ll start with a simple, yet lovely, blond straight hairstyle with a bun in the middle, but you can use this technique to paint any blond hairstyle.
Ready?
Before Starting
To have a perfect learning-practice day, make sure you are ready:
- Gather all your materials, and set them in your favorite place to work with watercolors. Check out the materials list for this lesson below the video.
- Sketch the hairstyle you want to paint before you click play. In the video, I show how to paint a blond straight hairstyle, so you have to have a sketch of the hair you want to paint. And, the more sketches you have to paint blond straight hair, the better!
- Put on your earbuds with your favorite music on, and now you’re ready!
Let’s go!
