Hair Tutorial 1: Fluttershy (Patreon)

i've gotta a TON of requests to do a hair tutorial over the years, so i thought i'd compile some little notes on how I think when I draw hair. This will probably be the first of many little guides. I'm inspired by how when I was a kid, my dad drew a guide breaking down the shapes of the Powerpuff Girls and explaining how to draw them (I distinctly remember him writing "think of their limbs like socks filled with wet sand")....

I hope this can be a bit helpful. Keep in mind this is by no means a stict set of rules, just my thought process when I draw yellow quiet. I give Fluttershy (and all the ponies) much more hair than her show model has, more like a human's head of hair than a horse's. Be careful not to give her too much hair though, or it'll look like a horse wearing a bad wig!
