Ever dream of having those luscious locks of celebrity hair? Drawing kinky hair can bring that dream to life. If you’re ready to give those locks of glory a try, here’s a step by step guide to unleashing your artistic talent.
Step 1: Get the Right Supplies
Gather the essentials before your artistic adventure begins. You’ll need a pencil, eraser, sharpener, stylus, and a variety of pens and markers. This is to ensure your kinky locks look realistic and are drawn to perfection. Now you’re ready to start.
Step 2: Draw the Skeleton
This is where the magic begins. Take your pencil and draw an outline of the head and face. Sketch what looks like an upside down balloon shape for the head including the neck and add a face shape of your own design. You can draw your shape from the front, or at an angle for a three-dimensional look. Next, draw the facial feature. Make sure to add the eyes, nose, and mouth in the appropriate places before going any further.
Step 3: Add the Hair
This is the key to a perfect kinky hair drawing. Start by drawing large curved lines to mimic the structure of the hair. For kinky hair, the lines should be drawn rapidly in strokes, and they should come out of the head while going in different directions. Keep adding more layers of the large curved lines until the desired hair amount is achieved.
Step 4: Add Details
Now it’s time to complete the masterpiece. Add small details to the ends of the kinky lines to give them a more realistic look. You can even use colors to brighten up the look and emphasize the texture of the hair. Once you’re done adding the details, go over the entire piece with a marker to clean up the edges and make sure to erase any extra pencil lines. And you’re done!
Step 5: Embrace the Finished Piece
Your piece of art is ready for the world to see. You can take time to praise and appreciate your kinky hair masterpiece. This is a proud moment and shows off your artistic talent and dedication put into the project. So after all your hard work, sit back and proudly appreciate the finished image.
Once you’ve grasped the basics, unleash your creativity! You can start off with experimenting by practicing different angles and colors. And if you make any mistakes, never fear. Every stroke is an opportunity to learn and grow your art skills. So grab your pencils, and get to work!
Step 6: Braid It Up
Braids are a great way to give some extra textural detail to your kinky hair line drawings. Draw sections of hair to create the braid shape and use your pencil to create details or the different strands of hair. Once the desired effect is achieved, use a marker to make the lines pop. Voila! You’ve got an extra textured and dimensional drawing.
Step 7: Experiment with Different Hair Types
Drawing kinky hair can open up a whole new world of opportunity. Once you’ve mastered the basics of kinky hair drawing, it’s time to have some fun. Doodle different varieties of hair types, such as curly hair or even Afro hair. These are great activities to practice and can help you understand the different types of hair styles and textures. Go crazy and have fun!
Step 8: Get Creative!
Get creative and draw unique kinky hair designs. You can add fun accessories such as beads, extravagant head scarves, beaded head wraps, and horsetail knots. Spend some time working on these additional details to make them as detailed and realistic as possible. Once you’re done, show off your work!
