Braids are some of the most time-consuming hair to draw, because every section has to interlock. These free brushes by Naomi Arts paint a braid along your stroke, so a hairstyle that would take an hour takes a few curves.

The listing mentions 7 brushes; the file we downloaded has 9. It comes from Naomi Arts' Gumroad page — Brusher does not host it.

What the brushes draw

Drawing braided hairstyles

Sketch the path of each braid first, then trace it with the brush in one smooth stroke — the braid follows the curve. Colour the braids on a separate layer, then add shadow between them with a soft brush so they sit on the head rather than on top of it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I draw box braids or cornrows?+

Yes — trace each braid's path with one of the braid brushes; thin braids work for box braids, and following the scalp line gives cornrows.

How many brushes are included?+

Nine in the file: six braids, a curl and two single locks.

How do I download it?+
