Description I found some time to make a tutorial covering my ways of drawing hair. I hope it can be helpful.
I just love drawing hair- especially wavy/ curly hairstyles *_*.

Note that I draw different sizes of hair strips: thin and thick. It makes hair look more natural.

Next, I 'm gonna do the following tutorials:
- cleaning pencil linearts
- colouring with copic markers
- Photoshop edits of traditional works
- the usage of textures in drawings

Credits: ~alfastock for the texture
