How to Draw Anime Hair (For Female Characters)

Hi people.

This is a tutorial for female hair (or just basically long hair in general.)

I actually drew everything last month, but put it all together this afternoon. I hope those of you that wanted to learn to draw hair in some way, learned something?

( I really don't want comments like, "But I already like the way I draw, do I have to change it?" Of course I don't want you to change it, I'm only trying to help :P )

I'm not a professional at drawing anime either, just a kid who draws for fun, so please don't insult this tutorial in a rude way, I'm not a teacher!!

Sorry if the pace of the video went too fast, I didn't want it to be too long. It'd take up too much space. Also, don't ask what I'm doing next, because I really don't know.

I'll do a video for hair for male characters, but not as of anytime soon. I would've done both of them in one video, but I kinda needed to put it into detail to understand, so it wouldn't have been easy putting them both together.

But yeah, I'm also cognizant about how you all feel ;P So yeah, I had to leave the message at the end, I don't want to hurt anyone ... with a video xD (Based on what people have said on my other tutorial)

Song:
Swan Lake - Audition (Good old times.)
The song in the beginning was just something I got off of iLife from my mac.

Programs:
Adobe Photoshop cs4
iMovie HD + '09
Quicktime (To record.)

Honors: Yay!

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
