[music] Hi guys. My name is Marcel
and today, you're gonna learn how to draw like a Sir. You know, I was thinking of what kind of video
I should upload next to my English channel. So I decided to translate my video on
how to draw hair for beginners. I was thinking about translating my big special video on how to draw in general, but I want an English version of this video
to be perfect as well. So maybe I'll translate that video and my accent doesn't sound like I'm gonna invade Poland anymore. But in the meantime, here's a video on
how to draw hair and hairstyles for beginners. Also, I could really need your help
since my channel here is pretty tiny, even though I put a lot of effort into my videos,
so a like and a comment would really be appreciated. Thanks, you guys. And now, let's get this video going. I'm gonna show you the basics of drawing hair. [music] Now, before we start, there's something
you absolutely have to know. And that is that there's all different kinds
of art styles in which you can portray hair. You can portray it cartoony, elaborate, simple, crazy, or maybe... not at all. Everyone has their own preferences and so there is no objective
good or bad here. Just opinions. I'm also saying that, because my videos
tended to get shown in schools and sadly, teachers always turn off the video
right when I was about to say that there is no objective good or bad art. But bottom line, I'm gonna show you how
hair and hairstyles work, but you can apply your own style
and technique if you want. [music] So let's start from the beginning. Most people already start to struggle
with step number one -- the baseline for the hair. Please be aware that there's more to your head
than just your forehead. When your base is off, your hairstyle will be off as well. Now, all of your hair comes from this spot right here. In Germany, we call it "wirbel"
which means vortex and yes, I did pronounce it that way on purpose. I know, I know. We didn't draw any hair yet
in this video about hair, but it's really important for you
to know how to start off. This vortex decides the direction
in which your hair goes. And with this knowledge, you should be able
to draw something that at least resembles a hairstyle. The next point is that hair
likes to be bundled together. This kind of makes sense, because you wouldn't
draw hair by hair individually, but rather strand by strand. [music] Congratulations, you are now able to draw a run-of-the-mill mid-2000s
Justin Bieber hairstyle. If you are someone with an eye for detail, you can add some more strands
coming from the general direction of the vortex. Maybe some of them keep the direction
of the vortex, some don't, I don't know.
Add a little randomness. You can also draw additional strands
over those strands. It's completely up to you
how much more detail you add. Like I said before, some people prefer
when their hair is drawn more detailed and some don't. Also, something important about hair physics
you got to know, small strands bond together and tend to
combine into bigger strands. Remember, that's why I told you
never to draw hairs individually. It looks untidy and uncombed. Hair sticks together to form larger strands. That's why hair mostly has a step transition. At least if the bobber did his job right. With most mid-length hair,
you can see this kind of diamond shape if you use your imagination. We can now apply this knowledge with the thickest strands
to our previously drawn hairstyle. When it comes down to it, this hair only consists
of a couple of big strands. [music] Even if you cut your hair in a straight line, you could still faintly see how it used
to resemble a strand before. [music] Of course, if you prefer the more simple way, you can just draw your hair in
some couple of thick strands and call it a day. Do you get it now? There's so many styles and variations. The possibilities are endless. [clears throat] Well, with a bit of practice, you can now
draw this cookie cutter hairstyle we practiced. But of course, there are many more things
that you can learn when it comes to drawing hair and some of them I'll teach you right now. Maybe you already know this if you watch
my videos about drawing clothing, but the more wrinkles you draw in,
the thinner the clothing looks. And the same thing goes for your hair as well. Here, you can see a small example
of what I'm talking about. I guess we can all agree that the hairstyle on the left looks a lot thinner than the one on the right. Like I said, there's no better or worse. All of this depends on your personal preference. Just let it be known that if you want to draw
hair more realistically and thinner, you shouldn't be shy to draw in more details. And when we're on the topic about drawing detail, maybe you notice that hairstyle I drew at the beginning
was pretty smooth and slick. The only thing that was a tad chaotic
were the tips of the hairstyle. Kind of makes sense, right? Your hair together in the middle. It's only at the tips where it comes apart. That's the way you draw a tidy hairstyle. However, if you want to draw an untidy hairstyle, you can let some hair or even whole strands
come off right in the middle. Believe me, you wouldn't be the first person
to draw an untidy hairstyle like this. Also, a tip about hairlines -- the beginning of your hair isn't simply an
evened out is the zigzag pattern. It's just as random as the rest of your hair naturally is. So you can imagine it in strands as well
if that helps you. Of course, all of this was only the tip of the iceberg. There are tons and tons of hairstyle
that I could talk about, like braids, partings, undercuts, side cuts, -upper cuts.
-Shōryūken! But like I said, this video was only
supposed to be a tutorial about the basics. Also, to be honest, I don't think
there needs to be a tutorial about every single hairstyle out there. People learned how to draw without tutorials. Back in the day, I know I surely did and so can you. However, I could make a video about longer hairstyles and drawing long hair in general. For example, I could make a video about how to draw
dynamic hair and how it looks in the wind. But as you can see, this video would amount to
an absurd amount of work. This would take days or even weeks to make. If I make a video like this
kind of depends on you or rather how many people are interested
in this basic tutorial right here. A video like this is an endeavor
of several days or weeks like I said, and I still have a 9-5 job I attend. I mean, you guys know how to support me already
and if you subscribe and join my crew, you won't miss the next upload when it happens. Become a crewmate, become a Nakama. If you guys are interested in drawing less hairy things, then please take a look at my other tutorials. I did upload some of them in English already
right on this channel You can check out the playlist.
I did put them all in there. So, my name is Marcel. and I'll see you guys
in the next video here on my channel Draw like a Sir. See you, then. [music]
