thank you for making this! i feel like what makes locs seem hard to draw for some people is in part a matter of expectations. if you've been exclusively drawing straight hair and are expecting to be able to use the exact same techniques and visual shorthand, you're going to get frustrated because you're applying rules that won't fit to hair that's different from what you've practiced. never be afraid to go back to basics and look at real people's hair to figure out how it works (though if you're with someone in person, please ask permission)! there are plenty of resources for styles as long as you're willing to look for and learn from them! and remember that learning fundamentals first, even if it takes patience, makes it easier to abstract and stylize later on. best of luck to all learners!
I never really struggled with it, I always have fun drawing locs since when going to Pinterest I always find some beautiful styles that makes me wanna draw more. Same thing with curly hair, any type of hair in general. I’m obviously still learning, but drawing any type of hair is the most fun part at character illustration in my opinion
THANK YOU!! I have a character and decided to change his hairdo from a weird not even curly (i didnt know how to draw black hair at the time) long hair to locks! This is really usefull, especially for the parting And to other artists, dont be scared to learn this type of stuff (i was scared too). Yeah, its hard to get the hang of it but we should learn how to.
For me locs are rly hard to draw😭 bc i just can't draw them like that due to my artstyle, same wirh curly nd wavy hair. Tho i'm learning how to draw them better
you don’t always have reference for example if you’re drawing without internet access so you can’t look it up also it’s useful to know even with reference
Dude i was trying to opt out and when i finally got to the actual page it was asking me to confirm my email but it NEVER ACTUALLY SENT ME AN EMAIL multiple times and im almost convinced they made it difficult on purpose
I’ve been trying to figure out how to draw the actual hair sections 😂 I don’t know why I didn’t just make a grid 😶😂😂
Do you have a certain source to learn anatomy?? Your art style is HEAVENLY

Ngl what i struggle with is usually the partings, as a black South African, i honestly feel embarrassed sometimes, i need to stop hating on myself

New Rin upload YAYAYAY (also thank you so much for ur wisdom)
😭 the parts I’ve been making it harder on myself !! That’s so much simpler thank you
Thank you so much, I really need to know how to draw locs because I want to design my black ocs and this is helpful!
why did it the video end early I was interested to learn!
YT only allows 1 minute long shorts. Maybe check their other socials to see if they posted the whole video.
What app are you drawing on??

Wow
Just use reference i thought that was a no brainer
you don’t always have reference for example if you’re drawing without internet access so you can’t look it up
also it’s useful to know even with reference
