Keep these basic shapes in mind as you get started. Depending on how detailed the hair is, you may or may not want to draw the third level of detail. Which way does the waterfall flow? How does the hair react when it reaches the shoulder? And lastly, the most detailed drawing is looking at the more precise shape of the finer details-braids, curls, etc. Think of it like water cascading over a cliffside.
Notice how they move and play within the greater shape you traced previously. In the next drawing, examine the direction, movement, and shape of the smaller, more individualized clumps or groupings of hair. Think of this as the base layer of the hair. In the first drawing, simply trace the overall shape of the hair. In this simple exercise, examine your reference hairdo and draw over it two to three times. This is a photo in Daz Gallery, rendered by LaMuserie, and will use it for demonstration purposes. You could never spend too much time studying references and recreating what you observe to the best of your ability! It is by far the best way to ensure that your 3D art stays as true to life as possible, and is a key to creating realistic work. Even professional artists and animators use references. When we start working in Daz studio, you will see how having a basic understanding of hair sectioning theory can be extremely helpful, especially in designing female hair or more complex hairstyles.Īs you start practicing making hair, don’t be afraid to look for references. 3D is a reflection of reality in a digital world, so why not mimic real stylists in how you design your digital hair? Keeping track of these sections, and working in these sections will help encourage a more natural look in your final render! The idea is to be aware of each section of hair. There are many videos on YouTube that do a great job explaining this theory and where each section is located on the head. The basis of Hair Section theory splits a head of hair into sections. While hairstylists often use this theory to help them cut hair, it can be useful to understand how to style hair that looks good and natural in 3D. Cosmetologists become familiar with something most refer to as Hair Section Theory.
Before we get into the studio, let’s take a deeper look at hair and some important theory ideas that will help you recreate hair as a 3D artist.
