It’s actually not as difficult once you have it all setup. This entire process is pretty much how I’ve pencil rendered and painted hair and all it is is working from general to specific. Now if you’re not used to working this way, I will admit this will have a learning curve as you’re basically learning how to see all over again. Though, if you did the entire portrait this way, the hair would just be another element in an entire design and would all flow together properly.

Damn Proko, you are phenomenal. I’m starting in an 8 week drawing class next month and your videos are the best I’ve ever seen. I realize that, while I am inexperienced at drawing, I’m more inexperienced at TRULY seeing. Thanks to your tutorials I’m starting to look at everything in relation to their plane. Stay well
James Rossi with that, you’re going to be well ahead of the game than most. The biggest stumbling block to drawing period is learning how to really see things. The tones, values, planes, and shapes. You get that right and you can pretty much draw anything. Biggest thing of advice I will give you as a budding artist, if something isn’t working, never cease to go back to those basics. You’ll be surprised how much the problems are usually at the starting line of the foundation.
there is a group of pencils called Graphite pencils it is graded from 9h to 9b , usually the HB or 2HB pencil is used to sketch, as for shading u must use various grades of pencils like 2B, 4B or even 6or7B, the darkest grades is the 8 & 9B, as for highlights u can use the Kneaded eraser and also the brush is used for shading, I hope that I helped u :)
I am loving your videos. I'm the cliched teenage artist who let my skills atrophy through my early adulthood and at 35 have started retraining myself. Your lessons have given me the confidence to start up again in a meaningful way and I already feel that I'm doing better than I ever have, while recognizing I still have a lifetime of improvement ahead of me!!! Thanks and keep it up!
I never had the time to try learn realistic drawing but now I have found some :D I started watching tutorials and your tutorials have the best explanation and go straight to point. Ever tried being an art professor at a uni?
Oh xD Well now I know that you have experience :D In the first place channels like your it the reason I ever stated using RUclips :D And RUclips is a good platform to reach as many people as possible even more than TV can. Like they say RUclips is the new TV now hahah
This video really helped me. I love drawing portraits and hair has always been my biggest issue when drawing. I always started with a bunch of strands- like many people- and always ended up frustrated when it turned out looking stringy. Doing it the way he did in the video makes so much more sense. I'm so happy I found this video.
Have you considered creating an the computer? Or even PAINTING in style where your special movements could create beautiful images never seen before? Who knows, Maybe Jackson Pollack has issues but was actually painting in a realistic fashion.
Very nice and compact as always! I love the way you approch teaching not doing case examples but teaching mindset and method. I think this toturial is most useful for people at an intermediate skill level who already know a bit about drawing but not specifically hair. Thanks!
Hi Proko. Do you have any videos on how to draw super curly hair. For example an afro, locks or the natural hair texture of a Black woman? I need help with that.
Thank you for your great tutorial. I had watched so many tutorials on the hair, the nose, the eye,... but not until I watched you video that I can figure out how to do it quickly and correctly. For ppl who said this is lack of step by step, I suggest you watch his basic video about shape, edge and value to get the basic, not just concentrating on the hair. This video will make much more sense after you've got the basic.
All your videos are worth watching.. I agree that you really can't teach everything for free. But everything you say here was more than enough. Thank you so much!
Some of this I think I was already doing, but kind of backwards. I love the step technique you use, and the shading as the starting point. But then again, I just love to watch you draw.
can you do some speed drawing instead of skipping everything and only show result? it still help a lot but as an amateur I still got lost from each step to the next one
備忘録 Add strands to volumes of hair as texture. Make sure there is a good balance between complex area and simple area (maybe the shadow). Clarify the dark parts and light parts with clear shapes before shading. tldw; 6:00
Thank you so much for these videos Stan, I always look forward to another vid. Thanks to you i'm learning how to draw humans without always copying a picture, my art has improved a lot thanks to you. Keep making great videos! (And I have to ask, would you have some tips about drawing with graphite?)
Dude I love your videos. Especially you're tutorial stuff. Before all I could draw was cartoons and now I'm drawing realistic people. Thanks a lot man x3
This video was helpful but out of the hundred of videos on the subject people always explain but don't really show the actual drawing. I realise that most people don't want to watch a long video but artist are more patient. I feel as if this video could of been done with audio only. I guess what I'm trying to say is please fill in the blanks.
I'm going to have to disagree with you here. He really broke it down into steps and even demonstrated proper use of the medium to achieve the right strokes for the individual hairs. I particularly liked how he showed the concept of visualizing the hair as a black and white, blocked-in graphic shape and then added gradients, and finally detail.
i believe that you are best drawer i've seen,through my school years i have filled lots of notebooks,still learning though,this is where i get my learning done,on this chanel,everything is exactly as i want to learn...thank you
Sounds so simple when you explain it,but it’s so goddamn hard to draw!!!Especially when you’re a beginner and whose hair you’re trying to draw is Marylin Monroe’s SUPER curly and voluminous hair(((
Hey Proko, thank you so much for your help. The hair for me is the hardest part of a portrait to draw but this tutorial has simplified drawing hair so much that I feel very confident when I next approach it. I never knew where to begin and made that mistake you pointed out of going straight in with the texture of strands. Thanks again.
TheFangirlGamer sorry for a late reply! Even if you paint in a non realistic way, remember to learn basic of realistic style! It'll help your art a lot to know how to do certain things and experimenting with "the right way" (there is no right way but.. you know, the basic realism). You go!!♡
absolutely effortless. I struggle with a lot of the things that I draw but I can get them to turn out looking pretty good it just takes me so much longer than a truly gifted artist to get the same high quality result. I have to do a stroke 20 times to their 1. I still get to the same place, well 80-90% the same place but it takes me way longer and more effort. I'm trying to get quicker with more flow but it is hard and people are so hard. I am getting better but have always had a hard time with people. That is a great way to approach the hair, a way I have never approached it before and I can't wait to try which I will be doing as soon as I am done with this long ass post which seems even longer because I am eager to try. Anyway, you are very talented, thank you for the video, I hope this helps me get closer to the artist I want to be
You're cute, Proko, I'm sure... but showing more of what you are talking about, and less of your face talking would improve your already very good videos.
I think he has some of the most interesting art videos on the internet. They have elements of humor, theory, and practical examples that can help even a beginner. What more can you ask for?
I agree. What I tend to see is that people think that every style should be learned as a separate thing, but what I discovered was that every style relies on a basic and undergoing "general" knowledge (Figures, perspective, anatomy, cubes etc). What I'm trying to tell is that every style tends to be an alteration of the "traditional" style, if we can call it that way
That's why, the reason right there. kids get stuck drawing manga forever instead of leaning how anatomy and the human body works. Don't get stuck on manga, if you love it and like to do fan art go for it, but don't waste your time in manga.
Hahaha. Great stuff proko. I've always been lacking the tools to get to the next level. But the way you break it down is really helping me understand how to achieve the "realistic look". Great stuff can't thank you enough. More pls. Take care.
Thank you for actually instructing us! All I could find is just videos of people drawing hair. While that helps a little, there was no INSTRUCTION. Great tutorial, thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial! Hair is always the part I tend to get stuck at, and after watching your video, I realized I’ve been doing it backwards!😂 makes sense why my hair never looks right!
Hey very professional and clear .. it hard to find someone who actually imparts aesthetic knowledge in such effective manner .. I bet your students struggle much lesser and improve in leaps and bounds !
I feel like since hair is one of the things people really do struggle with, this is one tutorial that really should have had a step by step with him demonstrating it, like the others. Regardless, still better than most other tutorials on here. c:

I've been drawing for years and I now understand how to draw hair, it clicked when you referenced the clay hair, nicely put! Thank you!
Hello old comment 👋
O.o Am I the only one paying more attention to his hair changing every time than the tutorial at all?....
Oh my god :), I noticed it once then just couldn't concentrate on what he was saying :D
hahahaha, first thing I noticed. I even when back and start de video again to make sure i wasn´t imagining it
Hair texture comes in the last? Now I know why my hair drawings end up looking like a ball of wool.
Hi Proko. Do you have any videos on how to draw super curly hair. For example an afro, locks or the natural hair texture of a Black woman? I need help with that.
Not yet. I plan to do an advanced portrait course in the future that will cover things like different hair types.
Thank you for your great tutorial. I had watched so many tutorials on the hair, the nose, the eye,... but not until I watched you video that I can figure out how to do it quickly and correctly.

Man, you never change your intro. Which is awesome
awesome, also I swear your hair style changed in every shot. nice.

can you do some speed drawing instead of skipping everything and only show result?

+El Garda Nothing wrong with drawing manga! After a few years of practice (goofing off, really) your pen or pencil will yaern for something trickier.
practice makes perfect :-)
