With the advent of graphic editors and programsfor processing photographs, the need for images of various parts has increased. Hair is also no exception. Often, all techniques are associated with understanding the structure of the hair and great diligence. Here is an example of how to draw hair using the popular Photoshop program:

3. Now the most important thing is to work with the “clarifier” and"Dimmer". First, we take the first instrument with a diameter of 2-4 and draw the strands in the “middle tones” area, then do the same with “light”. Repeat all with the "dimmer." Use a photo of real hair - so you better understand how to draw hair.
4. The resulting image is not realistic enough.It is necessary to give the hair volume. For this we use all the same tools, but with a large diameter. The areas that are closer to us, we lighten, and distant ones darken (this is where the knowledge of classical drawing can be useful).

This is one of the simplest techniques that seemschallenging at first. In fact, with experience, you can easily learn how to quickly draw beautiful hairstyles. It is worth noting that to work in Photoshop, you must pass at least an initial course on introduction to volume, otherwise your work will be unnatural.
