In this livestream, we’re diving into portrait drawing with a focus on messy, expressive hair — something a lot of artists struggle with. I’ll show you practical techniques for drawing hair that feels natural and full of life, while also simplifying facial shapes to capture a solid likeness.

I’ll be working on Strathmore toned gray paper using a Prismacolor Col-Erase pencil, white charcoal, and a few soft brushes to blend and build form. If you’re working on improving your portrait drawing skills, especially hair and head structure, this session is packed with helpful tips.

📝 Grab your sketchbook and draw along — let’s level up your portraits together!

I’m going live Wednesday August 6 at 11 AM EST on YouTube.
