  • I love that Pikat said "improbable anime hair" instead of just "impossible" because it implies that, statistically speaking, there is someone out there who's got natural anime protagonist hair
  • @1Kapuchu100
    the fact that pikat is left-handed is somehow such a huge plot twist I did not see coming... The fact that the animated hand is also left, should have been the clue... But apparently not enough for me!
  • I’ve been needing this tutorial so badly. I always oversimplify hair.
  • @rixiant6373
    Damn, I just finished the previous video and now a new one is out already! We're being fed good!

  • @JayCel-vv8dg
    TIPS: Big, medium, small Principle dont just work on hair but also any design elements like clothing designs and etc
  • As someone with textured hair I'd say you did a pretty damn good job
  • I struggle so much with drawing hair. Needing more practice aside, I just generally have a hard time visualizing and drawing. I'm slow to learn creative things, but I get there hehe. This hair is so beautiful I'm even more inspired. Thank you.
  • @hypergu
    New pikat video just dropped, today is a good day
  • @wertyjess
    you know, about a week ago I've been trying to learn how to draw hair to improve my 3D modeling. And now a bunch of artist that I follow started making hair tutorials lol
  • @zesty6781
    I’m still not used to hair tuts/studies including textured hair LMAO you did an amazing job
  • I’m a programmer and aspiring game developer. Ive always enjoyed drawing but I was never really that good until a couple years ago when I started putting in more effort to improve. I feel like ive made improvements in chunks, where i suddenly understand something and see a noticeable improvement. Ive been trying to improve my sketching confidence lately since i feel like i always spend ages on every sketch to get things to look right. Your videos have helped me by giving me a better idea of how to do studies and actively work on improving in certain areas :)
  • I love that you go in it with math and nr. It feels like you are truly breaking it down. I think I understand much better now. Thx♥️😆
  • @micolwave
    the final drawing is great. drawing hair for me was complicating. i was going through many stages in my almost 5 years of drawing. But, this video helps a lot and it's now making me think a little more about how I should shade my hair and the OVERALL shape of it as well. This video was very helpful.
  • @kroffen7
    Just wanted to say, being an artist who’s been leaning more on the cartoony side and is shifting more to anime/realism and you’ve quickly become my favorite artist YouTuber!
  • this is definitely the best drawing hair tutorial i've ever seen, we have a mutual understanding on how we study art, you're my fav artist now🥰
  • @kioworld563
    This video helped a lot and I like how you studied textured hair as well
