but i hope it made at least some sense!Īs i said earlier, I recommend reading the posts in my hair tag. Think of holding a piece of string, when you stretch it out it turns straight with all the tension, but when you lessen it, it gets all wiggly.īut yeah, i don’t really know if that helps much, hair is something i’m still trying to wrap my head around unfortunately. Towards the roots, or when something is in the hair, it adds weight and the hair straightens out. Towards the tips, or when it lands on an object, there is nothing pulling it down. Important to note! The flow changes when it hits something like a shoulder. Hair is pulled in different directions, and it’s towards this pull that the flow goes. I then erase little bits of the overall flow lines like in the fringe to break the shapes apart.

Explore Williamsr's board 'Contour Line Art' on Pinterest. Keep layering in mind also! Some of Maya’s hair is pulled back into a topknot, so the hair changes flow towards the bun at the top of her hairīut the rest of it hangs down. miles whyĪnyway this process of finding the shape, general direction, and flow applies to any hair i draw no matter how weird it isĪnd the more complicated the character’s hair, the more the flow is broken down Students have been using George, our classroom. The main reason i dislike miles’ fringe is just cause the flow is disrupted at different angles. Third grade students have been learning about contour and continuous line drawing. In miles’ case, his fringe has its own flow If u ever hear me complaining about a character’s hair, it’s bc there is a part of it which doesn’t fit the flow I’m wrapping them around.Īnyway, i then break down the flow with more cross-contour lines to show more form imagine u had some string and u were wrapping it around the form, thats how i approach drawing lines. Ppl describe my art as ‘loopy’ a lot which is a good description i think. You can draw the same subject using many different techniques. Learn about the line and four styles of contour lines you can use to express yourself. The flow is like, the general direction that the hair is swept? I try and convey form by using cross-contour lines that follow the flow and the gesture. Contour lines in art are the building blocks of drawing. Flow and shape is rly important to me personally, so like when i put down my first lines, thats what im focusing on I will explain how i approach hair! You might wanna read the posts in my hair tag on my resource blog first though. If there’s a way to make it clearer or make a better statement, go for it. By the way, no one says you can’t slightly alter the silhouette you are looking at. WELL anon, i’m not rly the best person to ask bc hair confuses the hecker out of me bUT A contour line on a figure drawing is about the most superficial way to approach it BUT, it will help you tremendously at finding a clear silhouette.
