Hi. I'm Seth Maxilmallus. I'm an artist and illustrator. So now I'm going to work on hair.
Hair is the muddy shot. Hair is where if you're a stylist you can do a lot with hair. This
is fashion design. Everything. You have models. Glamour. Hair is glamour. And this is what
makes the human being from being just little circles with faces on them. Her I'm going
to give her, I like the fifties look so I tend to make hair a little bit shoulder lengthish.
For her anyway. And as you see I'm kind of like making these wavy lines. I can do an
outline mainly like this for her hair just to give me an overall look. I giving her a
big bouffant here. That's a lot of hair. Now she doesn't have to have hair like that. This
is very mini skirt mod so to speak sixties style. And as I say I'm lightly tracing out
these lines with pencil. And I'm kind of giving them these kind of car flame kind of things
to them because I actually have her hair flipping here and stuff. Just got to remember that
hair grows from the head. All these hairs come straight out from here. Correct? Correct.
So same with hair. Like if you're going to draw hair that's growing straight out from
here it might flip, it might fall in front of her face. It might be stylized that it
flips out like this. Hair's a very interesting thing to draw. It's like drawing wood grain.
If you draw wood grain. Like instead of just drawing a plank, like a board. Like if there's
a board. Like you don't really know that's a board until you add wood grain to it. Like
here's a knot in the wood. Here's the grain. It looks a lot better. So that's the same
thing with hair. It's like instead of just drawing a shape of hair like him. Let's give
him a mock afro just for the fun of it. Instead of it just being just like that. Afro. You
can draw actual individual, you can go as detailed as you want into individual strands
of hair for style or whatever. We're going to give him a crew cut though. As you can
see hair is a very complicated thing. But it's a blast to draw. You will have fun drawing
hair.
