How to Draw Wavy Hair
- Prepare the base.
First, draw the outline of the head. Using thin lines, draw an oval and add smooth lines at the bottom to represent the neck.
- Draw the outer outline of the hair.
With curved lines, mark the outer contour of the hair and immediately determine the shape of the future hairstyle.
- Start drawing individual strands.
Start drawing the hair in the upper right part of the drawing. To do this, draw smooth curved lines starting from the center of the head in the direction of the shoulder.
- Depict the top strand of the hair on the other side.
This step is similar to the previous one and here you should use the same drawing principle. Use smooth, curved lines to depict the individual spiky strands.
- Add the bottom strands of hair.
Use smooth curved lines and draw individual strands of the hair at the bottom of the drawing.
- Define the hair strands near the face.
Carefully trace the oval of the face along the contour and, using clear lines, select the strands that go from the forehead to the temples.
- Define the hair strands.
Focus on the lines that you drew in the previous steps and carefully trace the strands of the hair along the contour, while giving them the necessary shape.
- Define the hair strands on the other side.
This step is similar to the previous one. Do not try to maintain symmetry and change the shape of the strands a little, because in the end the hairstyle should look natural.
- Define the outline of the hair below.
Now start detailing the bottom strands of the hair. With the help of smooth curved lines, carefully select the individual strands of the hair, focusing on the lines that you drew earlier.
- Trace the strands along the contour on the other side.
Sharpen the strands of the hair on the other side of the drawing, just like you did in the last step. Strive to make the drawing look more realistic.
- Detail the hair.
With the help of thin smooth lines depict individual strands of the hair, as shown in our example.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Now the hairline is ready. Take a close look at the drawing and correct any inaccuracies as necessary to prepare the drawing for coloring.
- Color the drawing.
Choose any natural shades to color the skin and hair. If you want the drawing to look more realistic, then select the dark areas.
