Description I decided I really needed practice drawing realistic hair. I think it turned out okay, but I am looking forward to improving and being able to draw different types (curly, long, short, wavy etc) with more confidence.


I watched this tutorial which was very helpful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpMZ8b…


This is the stock photo I used for reference. hyenacub-stock.deviantart.com/…


B2 mechanical pencil, B6 pencil, tortillon and tissue on A4 paper.
