Well it depends on how thick you want to go. There is a limit on how thick you can go with these tools. The thickest i usually go with these tools are the whiskers on a cat. You can always try something that is dull and try using that to get thicker lines. Experimenting should always be part of drawing and it will make drawing much more interesting.

I've found these tutorials very helpful, but I was just wondering how do you make the individual strands of hair look thick, cos I've tried using the empty pen but I can only make the hairs really thin. Is there anything else I could use to make thick hairs?

Hello one, im new hear and to drawing. thank you very much for the tutorial, i get the general idea in part one but the second part is alittle harder to understand, for me anyway. but that is prob because i was trying to get the ink out of this pen v_v. any who i alredy see how it will work, i have been looking at fur and hair and trying to figure out how to draw them. but with this i never thought of this, well anyway thatn you.

I really love this and your other tutorials. It's a very interesting concept and I find it fun. One reason you can tell right away how your drawing will look. It slowly gets better. I never really thought about layering. I always tried drawing exactly what I see, only I never thought about the process to achieve it. Thanks for sharing this with us!

I hope that you make a tutorial on human hair.

thank you
i dont have all of the materials you suggested but i think the other tools work for me just as well. though i think i am better off drawing by hand rather than this technique, i want to draw even better! i still have a lot of years ahead of me so i may need to work on this a lot longer

thanks again

hello and welcome. Well what you can do is email me the drawing that you have and i can give you some tips on what you need to do. This technique needs to be used with an understanding of hair. I recommend that you first study some images of hair so you have an idea of how hair flows and how it behaves. Each indentation that you make would represent a hair or clumps of hair. So if you know where to add these indentations you will have better results. You can send the image to onlypencil@hotmail.com and will do my best to help you. Take Care.

Any chance you got a video on this floating around somewhere? I really want to learn this technique, but it's hard for me to understand without seeing it done. Thanks for the tutorial :)

its a different technique from any other, but it sure does help with achieving realistic hair. Practice and understand what you are drawing and you will see results. But the most important thing i can suggest is to be creative. Well take care and if you have any other questions, leave a comment.

Hoo! It is very useful, clear and just amazing tutorial! I find it really helpful. :) I love to draw wolves and I had very big problems with realistic animals, but with this tutorial I learned some new ways to do the fur - I guess it will help me with that realism problem very much. :D Thank you for this great tutoria - now I just have to start practicing more and read the part two. ;)

thank you so much. Im glad to hear that it has been helpful. For human hair its almost the same technique except that you're making the lines longer and straighter. Ill be making a tutorial for human hair to show the whole process. well take care.

Hey, I'm needing some help with the empty pen and the needle in the pen you made. I get pretty good results using the empty pen if I press hard enough, but the needle point (dulled point) does not come out as well.
Thanks for any help.

I love drawing hair and I'm not half bad at it. But there's always room for improvement no matter how good we think we are! I have always appreciated fresh perspective as well as the person's willingness to offer it. Good job. I've learned a thing or two this evening! Thanks............Robin
