Step 1

First of all, let’s depict the shape of the head. Repeat everything as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did. The lines of the preparatory stages should be very light.

Step 2

Using a pair of smooth lines, depict the body of a braid. These lines should get close to each other towards the lower part. At the bottom, depict the scrunchy and the tip of the braid.

Step 3

Let’s turn this figure into something more like a braid. To do this, depict a texture. Using oblique lines, make the texture, as did the artists of Easydrawingart.com.

Step 4

Now let’s give the braid drawing a more appropriate look. To do this, depict the side faces using wavy lines. At the top, depict some extra hair lines.

Step 5

With the help of an eraser, clear your braid drawing of guidelines, and trace all the necessary lines, making the picture of the braid more beautiful and clear. Use a large number of lines to create a hair texture.

Step 6

So, you can leave your braid drawing black and white, or paint it in some color. We chose brown hair color and red for the scrunchy, but you can use any other color. You are free to use paints, colored pencils, and even felt-tip pens to paint the braid.
