Description
WARNING: LARGE file ahead!!!I was simply blown away by how many people were interested in seeing a tutorial on how I draw the curls for my characters' hair.
So I figured, with all the response, I'd try and make a tutorial. It DID end up taking a long time to make, so I obviously won't be making alot of tutorials in future. X3 Still, I hope this gives some people an idea about how I do them - and ways that you can practice and learn with until you develop your own style.
As for the picture, it will eventually be another one of my berry princess'. This one for 'Blackberries'.

oh yay, and here it is! haha. This is soo differenet from how I draw curls, you make yours more defined and weighty and sproing-y. I tend to just draw the outlined shape of a curl and leave it like that but draw a million of them XD haha. I'll try out this method though, it works much better for actually colouring the hair

If you wanted just curls (As in without the tied up bit aswell) would you just do the same but with more strands of hair?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pretty much - you just need to draw the top parts of the curls wider (thicker) to give more weight for the start of the hair up behind your character's head).

Gelpens are pens that are seethru and full of colourfull shiny gel. They can come in sets at stores like Home depot or staples or something :] they help make glossy shines and metal objects or hair.

Hey great tutorial
I think i may have got some inspiration to draw again too
yay!
I have one question though, whereabouts can you get the markers you use for colouring, and how much are they?
I hate using pencils so most of my pictures are uncoloured :S
lol
this has been a great help tho, thx
xXx

I'm sorry, but I'm really no good at directing people to where to get markers (since I get mine from my local store, and I live in New Zealand). My best advice would be to research at your local art suppliers and find a way of getting them there (that or ebay. If all else fails, ebay it. X3).

Good job~ And very helpfull xD
Though for me, personally, I'm not so interested in learning curls, it was the colouring bit that got sucked into my brain more 8D!

All right! This is a big help! I really need to work on my hair... in drawing I mean.
I like my real hair ~_^

awesome! I've wondered how to draw curls. I have such a hard time with them.
it's a really good tutorial. It actually set up so good that i understood what to do before even reading the actual words

Oh me oh my, I LOVE YOU!
I'm also rather facinated...How do you get your dark pencil so light before you ink? I've never seen that done before.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that's just a bit of photoshop for the tutorial. XD I darkened the sketches in the sketch pictures so that they'd show up better on people's moniters. My pencil stuff usually scans in pretty light.

Oh, I see now. XD Thanks for telling me. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hehehe, that's awesome! And it helps, as I now know why my curls look so stiff and starched, hehehe. I blame it largely on lack of practice, but I'm happy that I'm at least using a method that may one day turn out as pretty as yours!

Ive tried my big localish art store but they don't have them, they have something similar but not copics, might have to ebay them, and ohhh whats your favourite tea? ^^

I got my copic markers from an art supply store in Hong Kong, since they import them straight from Japan.
but, for the record, I didn't use copics on this pic (at least, not the coloured parts of this tutorial).
