Help with hair

[Larcen Tyler]

I guess one of my problems with drawing in general is being able to draw hair. It always looks messy or something. I guess I can't quite get the perspective right. Any suggestions?

Maybe this will help you.

That does look like a nice tutorial (I skimmed it), but if you're wanting to draw hair realistically, I would not suggest it. Anime hair is exagerated and not very realistic most of the time. It is a good start, though. :)

It doesn't matter, really, I just mean drawing hair in general.

Checked the tutorial, looks great. This is what I needed. :D

Hair is one of the most difficult things to draw, and there are so many ways to draw it and so many styles to draw it in, that its anything but "general", as you put it.

Although, I get what you're meaning to say. ^^

I know what you're saying, it's just that getting hair drawn in any way is next to impossible right now. That tutorial was really useful, so when I get the time to draw again I'll give it a try.
