Here's what we'll be Covering more in depth:

This will give be a great Resource for years to come, when you're looking for a little extra help in Improving your Drawings! Follow my Board on Hairstyle References Here.

  • Drawing the Major Types of Hairstyles: After we got our References we'll get straight into Drawing! You won't be listening to me talking about theory just staring at the Screen, NO! I believe in improving by Drawing, so we'll be drawing together a few different Hairstyles and enjoy our time Practising.

  •  Mastering the Types of Hair: Next we'll draw 3 Different types of Hair - Straight Hair, Wavy Hair and Curvy Hair. These are the 3 main Archetypes that are needed to basically draw every kind of hair that you wish. By learning these you'll be able to mix and match and improve your Hair Drawings immensely!

I'll be teaching you How to Draw a Beard in Different styles, from a Stubble Beard, to a Medium Short Beard and Finally to a Long Full Beard! This will give you the knowledge to draw any kind of Beard that you want!

For the Class you'll need either a Pencil + Piece of Paper or a Drawing Tablet + Drawing Software of your choice!

I'll be using Manga Studio with my drawing tablet but you're free to use whatever you feel more used to since the important thing to do here is just practice.
