[Lesson 16] Red Wavy Hair
Are you getting the hang of drawing hair?
In this lesson, I’ll show you how to paint red hair; featuring a long wavy hairstyle with a crown braid.
Wavy hair is one of my favorite styles, and it’s actually quite easy to create.
Are you 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 red wavy hairstyle, so you have to have a sketch of the hair you want to paint. And, the more sketches you have to paint red wavy hair, the better!
- Put on your earbuds with your favorite music on, and now you’re ready!
Let’s go!
