[xHideyox]

@americangirlfan25 I don't think she uses colored pencils... It's usually like Photoshop cs4+ or paint tool sai(paint tool sai can just be downloaded online but Photoshop has to be bought)

[americangirlfan25]

what type of colour pencil do you use when you ad the shine to the hair

[riceebunnyx3]

I bookmarked this. lol Thanks.

[Yoshibirdofan123]

You are the only person on youtube whos head i dont want to rip off and put in a fire. I have been trying to draw hair for the past 2 hours, and everyone on youtube just shows how to color hair. I'm not fucking retarded, I know how to color. I just want to say thank you so fucking much <3.

[vanasyxlove]

Ty ty soo much!, before i watched this video my anime hair used to be like in the video you said not to do :D

[BlaFwoopa]

Not what I was looking for, but this would definately be helpful to someone looking for this kind of help, realy awsome video, it's put together better than most videos on youtube lol :D Thumbs up for this vid yo, suport the arts :D

[flippyruler]

@mewDoubled Just want to let you know I love your videos, but this one keeps stopping at 0:40, might be a bug, it may just be my computer, or it may be the video, either way, just so you know, I'm gonna stop now before I get annoying.

[estherka64]

... Its So nice ... But ... Do you play Audition Season 2 ? this song is in the game ^^

[whitewhiskercat]

[k3melinda]

I agree with pupcakepup. This is epic.

[RightSpartan118]

Good style. Learned a thing or two.

[mika123gurl]

SENSI, OH THANK YOU!!!!!YOU TEACHED ME A BETTER WAY TO DD

[ilovehmmm1]

HELPED ME A LOT!:D TNX.

[espeonsweetie]

Wow this made things a whole lot easier. But when you draw, are you doing it with a mouse or tablet (if that's what it's called) ?

[syazabunny1]

what do you use to draw this?

[tweet540]

what did you use to draw these with?

[tweet540]

Hi I have been drawing anime for about a year and the hair is still hard to do x)

[delfi101010]

I am not a patient person an when something goes wrong (talking about drawing) I get really mad and think I suck at drawing :(

I hate being like this sniff 

[CoolIizard]

This is definitely one of the most simple, comprehensive, and well put-together drawing videos I've seen. I especially like the way you went down to the basics; most of the things you covered in the video could be applied to lots of types of art instead of just manga. Do you think you could make more tutorials like this in the future?

[mewDoubled]

@CoolIizard Thank you... :D And I hope I can when I get the chance and free time to... :D

[CaseIH232]

wtf is animae and how did i get to this video

[adanickad221]

Oh this song is familiar I heard it before.it was in a Barbie movie I think,I use to watch Barbie hehe

[IseeYouAndYouDont]

So simple and yet so complete and helpful o_o Thanks!!!

[pupcakepup]

Helped a bit?!?!?!? What do you MEAN helped a bit?!?!?

THIS IS EPICNESS!!!

This was by far the easiest, and most professional, even, but simple video I could find!! Wow!! Thanks~!

[Omaakoekiejbabe]

[MegaWolfchild2]

[yotzincastrejon]

when i draw everything else is fine but the hair uggh

[CinnamonWithATwist]

D: WAH! that's crazy! drawing realistic anime hair haunts me... no matter how hard I try, or how many lines I use, it always ends up as clumpy anime hair in the end... I mean, it looks good on the characters I draw, and I get all sorts of compliments and "that's crazy"s from people, but it's not the style I like

[WillKecker]

[emocherry119]

! thanks! u helped me alot!

[warchife6]

i just started using it (for fun) so how do you get the blank white screen? I tried to find some on internet but they were too small

[Darkherochaos]

OMG like thank you so much! this helped me out SO MUCH!!!!!! Arigato!!!!!!

[Sally4ucp]

I can't do the highlighting. Well, I can on the bangs, but i think i should stick with the light from the bottom... (my hand doesn't shake, well, only if my elbow is on a table or something. Like what i did during a test, and I dropped my pencil on the floor... O_O

Or if I am sick or something, like when i'm so weak, breathing hurts. I type random stuff, if you ever look at my comments I type allot OH NO! I'm doing it again!

[gameonanime]

its nice XD

[SugarOwner222]

[Ossi101]

Great stuff. This helped me a lot - especially with the wind and coloring parts. I find that the less steps you use to explain the better rather than going into 20 parts for highlights.

[Shoogharr]

Your pretty good :D I mean Your Pretty Pro* :D

[Enjouji71696]

This is alot better then other tutorials i've seen, great job :D
