How to draw Afro textured 4c hair - an explanation/Tutorial

For those of yous that don't know what 4c hair is, 4c hair is a hair texture type that contains coils to modest and tight that the pilus appears to be more than puffy rather than curly ( like to photograph below ) this is in NO Style to be confused with curly hair. there is a drastic difference.

As a black artist that primarily draws characters with 4c pilus, I've been asked many times to do a tutorial on 4c hair and so hither we get~

before nosotros become into 4c hair, lets have a moment to fully understand information technology by talking nigh pilus texture in a general sense get-go

let'due south take a look at this example of straight hair vs curly hair ( 1 blazon straight hair vs 3 type curly hair )

If you accept a moment to compare the 2 you'll notice straight hair is flat, it has no texture. Straight pilus perfectly hangs down like to liquid-similar silk. Information technology's lack of curlicue pattern is the reason equally to why it hangs perfectly apartment.

curly hair on the other hand doesn't prevarication down flat and silky like straight pilus, It'southward more thick. Curly hair in it's raw and unstyled state has a trapezoid like shape this is because the sides of the hair spread more outward.

So why is this? Why is directly hair flat and curly hair thick?

the answer to that question is a matter chosen piling up. When it comes to hair texture, the shape of the hair strands aren't the simply matter that matters, its how the strands coexist with each other, Curly pilus strands coexist past piling up on pinnacle each other.

moisture also furnishings hair texture too, unlike hair types absorbs moisture differently, thus the thickness of each pilus type is different.

…..soooo, how does this all relate to how to describe 4c hair??

Well permit's take a expect at the drawing below. Discover how the arrows get outward more than as the hair texture gets curlier. As we've already discussed, this is because hair piles up, The curlier the pilus texture, the more it piles upwardly on each other, the bigger it gets, the more outward the arrows go.

Out of any hair texture, 4C hair has the almost curls. Because of this, the hair piles upwardly on each other so much that information technology doesn't lie down flat like direct hair, nor does it brand a trapezoid similar shape like curly hair, it instead becomes more cloud like.❤️

This is what you lot need to accept into account when it comes to drawing 4C hair.

Call up of information technology equally piling up a bunch of cotton balls on each other. The most cotton wool on height of peak to lead to a bigger patch of  cotton. this is 4c hair.

How to non draw 4c pilus:

Garnet fanart. Let's talk about Garnet Fanart. I detect a trend that when artists draw Garnet from Steven universe, her hair texture is usually changed to iii type curly like texture. This subtle class of White washing has dislocated me because this is inaccurate.

Garnet'southward hair is in the shape of a cube. Though 3 type hair piles up on each other, it isn't curly nor thick enough for their pilus to stay in the shape of a cube. Curly pilus lies downward more than 4c hair. So garnet's hair being in the shape of a cube is a dead giveaway that it is 4C. Why do you think hairstyles similar flat tops are usually seen on black men with 4c hair? It's because, the 4c hair texture is thick and strong plenty to stay in whatever shape you put information technology in.

delight, if yous're drawing a grapheme with 4c hair, avoid drawing it like curly iii type hair, this is very anti-black and texturist.

So, how do you depict 4c hair?

honestly, its the virtually easy thing in the world

i wanna clarify that blobby looking 4c drawings ( similar the one on the top left ) tin can work depending on how cartoony your fine art style is.

Another thing that I want to greatly clarify when it comes to drawing 4C hair is, YOU. DONT. NEED. TO. Draw. EVERY. Pilus. STRAND!…..like, seriously. I've gotten many messages about how 4C hair is hard to describe, and it's always left me dislocated; just and then I find out that the same people that accept trouble cartoon 4C pilus, attempt to describe every unmarried strand of hair. This is unnecessarily time consuming because it'due south merely incommunicable to become every single detail down, peculiarly when you have a simple cartoon manner. 4C hair does not require much effort, all you're doing is drawing lumps. It's that simple, naught more nor cypher less.

The reason why I profoundly advise all of you to avoid drawing every single pilus strand is because in real life, when you expect at a 4C textured Afro, your optics don't pick upward on each individual hair strand similar straight or curly pilus. 4C pilus, appears to be more than undefined and cloud like, then attempting to describe each and every individual strand is unnecessary and will most likely finish up looking inaccurate.

Anyways! that's it for now! there will exist a function 2 to this tutorial that will come out side by side week! i hope you guys have learned from this and apply information technology to your black character in your art!~
