Rendering Hair




I am currently working on a portrait drawing in graphite, of my eight year old nephew. He has typical, short hair and I have such a difficult time rendering short straight hair. Should I create the tonal range of the roundness of the skull and then add in "hairs", pull out highlights with kneaded erasure? I know I've read somewhere not to "draw" every hair.

If anyone knows where this has already been addressed on the forum, please point me in that direction. Or if you could give me some pointers. I want to learn the right way to "draw" hair!

Thank you
