Problem
I just want to draw a shiny hair for an advertisement of shampoo using illustrator, is there anyone could help me to do this?
Solution
- When we get started, using the "Pen Tool" and draw a curved shape. Make sure your lines are smooth and do not have jagged points.

- Go to the Menu and select "Window > Brush Libraries > Artistic > Artistic_Ink." Select the Tapered-Sharp brush. You'll need to adjust the weight of your line so that the hair is thin. As you can see, I've used a weight of 0.25 pt.


- Draw several more “S” shapes to build up a large volume of hair to add variety.

- Achieve a solid mass of hair by drawing an black “S” shape. We'll place this shape behind the hair to fill in any white gaps.

- Give the shape a shadow.


- Move the shape behind the hairs.
