Description Hello awesome people!
A lot of you have been asking how I do white stray hairs and I promised a tutorial ... a long time ago! Well, better late than never right?
A big thanks to Angelic . Rogue (from X-Men) was her suggestion and I think she was a perfect reference for this tutorial! (I hope you think the same! )
And I can't believe I forgot to mention the name of the technique! Oh, God! Anyway it is called INDENTING!!!
UPDATE: I was informed that "impressed lines" is a more common name for the technique. Hope it is helpful!

Here is the finished artwork:

PS: If you can't see some images clearly, I can upload them in my scrap folder. Just tell me!

Holy hell, that is indeed simple! However I won't use it, I'm way too sure I'll just ruin the drawing

Haha, I am pretty sure you won't ruin the drawing! Aaand you can practice on a blanc sheet before moving to the actual drawing!

Oh, thank YOU very much!  


Really? Hmmm, a lot of people seem to ignore this technique, personally I think it is the only way to do extra sharp white hairs... I mean no eraser can erase that sharp! I hope you will try it out sometime! I'd love feedback on how it worked for you!
