@docharcoal: Realistic hair isn't sharp everywhere. In this Project Lamina episode, I show you how I create the soft, blurred areas of the hair and make them blend naturally into the background. The goal isn't to erase detail. It's to control where the detail disappears so the sharper areas stand out. I achieved this using a three-step layering system with DO Charcoal powder, gradually building the values from soft to dark while controlling the edges with my tools. That contrast between sharp and soft is what helps create the illusion of realistic hair. Next episode: Hair Flow — how to make the hair feel like it's actually moving. Draw with confidence. Draw with control. Link in bio to get the Charcoal powder #docharcoal #drawingtutorial #howtodrawhair #howtodraw #charcoaldrawing
