Drawing Hair can be scary because it's a little tricky to know exactly where to start. Once you know how to draw it though, it isn't terribly hard to draw. Step 1: Make your Outlines Start by making light pencil lines to create the main outline of the hair. This includes the line that makes the outer shape as well as the hair that frames the face of your character. I usually try to find a photo in a magazine or on the net that is similar to the hair that I want to draw. This helps me draw great.
