The secret “Chinese Youtube” taught me how to actually paint hair.

In this video, I'll be going over what I learned from one of the best hair tutorials that I've watched. This was a how to paint hair tutorial on the 'Chinese KZfaq' Bilibili, which was almost like an art course. I talk in depth about the process and technique for rendering/painting the hair, sharing the knowledge that I've learned. I've also made it as easy to follow-along as possible, by noting which brushes I'm using, which layer modes, which colours, etc. so you can simulate being in an art course.
And most importantly, I've included for FREE all the brushes that I used for this painting, and all the layers files, so enjoy! (lowkey a crime that barely any art tutorials do this, but I can also understand why at the same time) And of course, any support would be greatly appreciated.
* Exercise files: kraymerart.gumroad.com/l/Hair...
(includes fully finished painting file, and the lineart by itself file)
* All the brushes I used for this painting: kraymerart.gumroad.com/l/Hair...

About the highlight on the hair. It's not as simple as being "anime things" or "can be put anywhere" but rather, it's about light source. Assuming there are only two light source on the example being drawn... It just so happen that the back light source is brighter than the front one but you can still put highlight on the "shadow" side (dimmer light source) *because* there is still light bouncing off of it. Remember, the reason we see things is because light is bouncing off of it. So, yeah... highlight on hair _can_ be put anywhere *where* light is present. Also, _"Remember that the lightest shadow should be darker than the darkest light. That is a confusing statement.. Basically make sure that no shadow is lighter than any directly lit area."_ -Stan Prokopenko

They put the highlights on the dark part due to it making it seem like an orb or glass, and due to making it pop due to color value/high contrast, it's not just that 'if it looks good it is good', there's logic to it.

@thenosid951 3 ай бұрын

4:10 it does make sense because the "highlights" are reflexions of the environment in the hair, its a reflective material.

@aquare9ia 3 ай бұрын

I saw some other comments mention the discrepancy about the highlights in the shadow, but it's actually commonly referred to as the reflected light or secondary light. The main light source in your picture drawn is the rim light around the top of the head. The more intensity or surface area it covers, it can be almost considered a directional light. The shine to the hair is through a spotlight effect of a secondary light, usually bounced off a nearby source to illuminate the ambient contours of a 3D figure. The reason why it appears to be spotlight is because the shine is concentrated (small band of highlight) vs a diffuse lighting. Bounce lights can also be directional i.e. from a strong light above reflecting on the ground, giving the entire bottom of the figure a diffuse glow. If you're interested more about lighting, I would recommend using these keywords to search.

There's a japanese book for eyes which is called [きらめく瞳の描き方] or "How to Draw Bright Eyes". It's basically a step-by-step tutorial on how various artists paint, or draw their eyes. There's a lot of varying styles so you can pretty much mix and match however you want or stick to one and modify it. Don't get fooled by the title, some art style there are not "bright" at all. It's in Japanese though but I just used google lens to translate each page and it works pretty fine. I highly recommend this book. I wish there's one for hair though lmao

Highlights in the "shadow" part do make sense In artistic compositions, you often have a large/global source and a smaller opposing spotlight source. A scene will be more interesting with different light sources, and especially different exposures, temperatures, or even hues: You might have a warm candle-lit room contrasting with a colder highlights from a phone display shining on the front of a face, or a magenta outdoor neon sign from a nightclub creating highlights on the top of someone's hair while their face is blueish from moonlight. The choice of color can be an interesting factor to play around with, changing the light, shadow and highlight colors on your character depending on events happening around them.

What you called the transitioner/terminator color is actually the subsurface scattering. Its when light enters the object and reflects back out, usually resulting in a faint glow where shadow begins. You see this effect in real life when you hold your fingers to a light source, they glow red on the edges

3-point lighting could explain the specular highlights. The first light (the “light source” in this example) would be the back light. Therefore, the specular highlights may come from either the key or fill lights.
