Justin Bieber, request from girlfreind. Any advice on hair? I HATE drawing it. There must be an easier way than trying to exactly copy each hair from the reference. ANY TIPS?

Too old for bieber hair?:P
Looking good but needs to be much more darker, i think you should place the shadows with a 4b... or 2b with pressure...

Thanks caneker!! Yea my scanner makes everything a lot lighter, but your right, still needs to be darker. You have any tips on the hair?

I've not tried it as I like going about it hair by hair but here's a tip that alot of very good well known artists use, you gently score where the hair is in like strands (there is a special blunt tool for this) and then you just shade, alot of dog portrait artist use this method, the places that you have scored stay White. I would practice on a spare piece of paper first, I've tried it on scrap paper and it does work, I've not applied it to any of my drawings though

Thanks for the tip conty, I'll try it out!

thank god your gf requested it and that you didnt just draw it because you liked him

Nice Job!
Trade you scanners mine makes everything dark...

LOL! yea I know right, Beiber is the last thing I'd ever pick to draw! haha, but you have to keep the women happy or bad things happen

See Zack knows what I'm talking about, hahaha

Bieber got a haircut so this sketch is a little out of date.. haha

LOL! yea my girlfreind definitely let me know that I was behind on the style, but NO more bieber pics from me, ones enough, haha

Now it's time to man-up and draw some naked ladies...you know it makes sense

Bahahaha!! ok Russ, I can do that....
