"How you doing? Welcome today. My name is Lars-Eric Robinson. You, you got to my studio here today. My company is LarsEr Arts All Around Art-tainment. And today we're going to talk about how to draw hair. This guy has a big, I was playing around with this guy, and maybe his hair really loops up and comes out. And he has a ponytail, so you just do a lot of curves, and you follow it. And where it comes to the end of the hair, you do stronger lines as it comes down to the bottom of the where the ear, where the ear is. So it gives it gives it a little bit of a shadow. You got to try to understand that the hair goes back. So when it comes to the back of the hair, you want to get a little shadow going from the back of the hair to the front of the hair. Now that helps to give it perspective. Gives it a little depth. Now if you look at one of my paintings over here, one of my fine art paintings, you can notice that the hair hasn't been put in as strong, but it's just give you impression of the hair is there. If you take, like for example, one of these crazy paintings I have here, the hair is just basically laying on top of his head and curving up. He has a crazy looking hair-do. So there's all different hair styles out there and, and it's always really wild and creative all the different hair styles that you can find out there. So keep on just playing around and find all those different waves that you can find in the hair styles out there. Thank you guys for joining me."
