Topic: Rendering Hair in Colored Pencil

 

Points of Interest:

This is an all-important topic for portraiture artists: how to draw hair! John and Lisa dish out their best tips for rendering hair that looks natural and dynamic: follow the reference photo religiously, focus on abstract shapes vs. individual strands, work in sections, work in layers, and more! Lisa also shares an archival alternative to the gel pens that many artists may be tempted to use for highlights.
