how do you draw karkat's hair....
ive been drawing some of the other beta trolls, but ive been specifically avoiding karkat because of his hair...
makes me lose my mind, dude's got like a full right angle on part of his head-
aw yeah, awesome signature
it definitely took me a good while to figure out how to draw karkat's hair consistently in a way that i liked, but now that i have, drawing him has become really easy. so here's my way of drawing his hair if it helps lol
When I first tried to draw his hair, I spent a long time trying to get the shape of his hair from the comic, but that'd mess with my art style sometimes, lol. So instead, I just noticed his hair is probably shorter in the back than the other boys' hair is, and that most of it is very messy and not brushed to a specific style.
Because of this, I just normally give him short hair lol. I originally wanted to give him very fluffy hair, but idk how to really draw that, and for some reason, I thought maybe his having long-ish hair made him not look like himself. So short hair it is.
When I draw the hair I keep in mind a few things:
-His hair is short in the back
-Most of it sticks out and is messy
I mostly just eyeball it I'm ngl T_T
(I forgot his horns in this sketch T_T)
@Allie, I really like your Karkat drawings! They're really adorable and expressive lol, you managed to make his hair fluffy (which I literally can't figure out how people do for some reason, maybe it really is just my artstyle or something), the art is just really nice, good job!

plus Im glad to know its not just a me thing when struggling with his messy hair-
