This is the first kiss that we’re both fully aware of… This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me want another.

Thank you.

Drawing hair is always challenge. I did look at references of Katniss' hair in the movie. I sketched it in pencil first until I got it the way I wanted. It was longer, at first, until I remembered that this scene was after part of it has been sheared off in the fire storm.

I was going to say that this drawing didn't take very long, but I often get consumed with what I'm doing and don't realize how much time has passed. In this instance, I probably spent about two and a half hours on it in one sitting... drew everything out in pencil and then went over it with Pigma Micron pens when I was satisfied with the lines.

Can you give me a tip on how to draw hair/fur? Do you have a specific way, like when you draw an object? I, for example, tend to draw the outlines first and then get into details, shading and stuff like that.

Yeah, I get consumed with my work too very often. Sometimes, an hour feels like 15 minutes to me.

First, sorry for the belated reply.

I think I draw hair basically the way you describe. I draw the basic shape of the hair, the "outlines," as you said. Then I go draw the details, such as the strokes showing the texture and direction that the hair falls.

I draw braids a little differently, though. Since the details radiates from the center, where the strands of hair interlock into the braid, I draw each section, going down from the start of the braid.
