How To Draw An Afro?

Here are the basic steps to draw an afro:

1. Sketch the overall circular shape of the afro using light circular strokes.
2. Within the circular shape, add many small curled lines radiating outward to represent individual strands of hair.
3. The strands should be of varying thickness and length to create a natural, textured look.
4. Add more definition to the strands near the center and make them lighter and less dense towards the edges of the afro for dimension.
5. You can also add some spirals or loops within the strands to represent hair twisting and curling in different directions.
6. Blend or shade the pencil lines very lightly if desired to give the hair more depth and fullness.

Experiment with different line weights, hair textures and densities until you achieve a look that resembles an authentic afro hair style. Be patient, it may take some practice to get the hang of drawing textured hair realistically.
