I mean that there's a line and that the hair that goes over that line is cut in half. It kind of bothers me.

Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. Since it's two separate chunks of hair I drew the line there.

Ah. Ok.

I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. I like how my art style has been going more cartoonish.

I would suggest not shading with black next time. But the skin shading is fine.

I agree. XD

I agree. XD

Me too!
The rest of the picture is cool though, creative format.

I've always shaded with a darker version of the color, but I actually like how it looks with warm shading. I will try to remember that.

I'm trying to draw hair and it never seems to look right. Any tips?

In case anyone is struggling with colours:

Never just darken a colour or use black to shade! Always try to shift hue, saturation, and lightness.
For example, if you've got an orange sphere, the light could be bright yellow and the shade could be more of a darkened red.

If you look at the colours of objects in your environment, you can see how each object is affected by different lights.

Also, check out colour theory. Especially in Google images. There's so many images explaining it, you'll be spoilt for choice.

I still suck at hair, but try drawing the hair in chunks of movement (if that makes sense).
For colour, look at pictures of real hair, and see how the light catches certain places.

Good luck.

What if the item is black? In an area that the light reaches would be gray, and the shadowed area would be black, right? Sorry, I'm just confused.
