Any artists out there?

[EmmaRainboe]

Oh, and by the way…. You’re an artist to, don’t forget that.

Thank you.

I don’t really feel like an artist though haha. Just a person who does art.

that makes you an artist!
As for advice, I think Crazy gave some good advice. Draw the hair in pieces/groups instead of strand by strand, because hair doesn't work that way. Then when you go in, you can shade the clumps and then after that slowly build it up to how you want it to look.
Now I'm no expert, I haven't been able to draw like that before but it's an idea

Long hair, keep it clumped! Hair is not usually thin, it has body. Once you sketch out the shaped of the mane and tail, then add some squiggly marks to represent the curls.

Yeah, I figured that… I had been doing the clumps. I more meant how they drew each individual strand… I just can’t figure it out.

These are the clumps I have.

I think you’re on the right track. Use darker lines for the individual strands.

Okay. Thanks a bunch.

I kinda work backwards with hair, I block in most of it with the base color, then go over it with progressively lighter strands, and finish up by doing highlights and darkest shadows.

Maybe one of you artists can help me. I am currently working on a horse, and I am taking a lot of inspiration from this artist. The problem I am having is with the mane and tail, I can’t figure out how they did them. Perhaps any of you have an idea?

Something a little different to start the new year—a wool felted Kermit the frog and rainbow! (Well actually I made it two days ago, so rather to end the old year)
