Take a hard round and sculpt out the general shape/flow of the hair. From there you can either trace over to “line” it, or just paint over to render it. Whatever your personal approach is basically.

You don't have to copy hair accurately.

there is no hair. there is a human you construct, then drapery and then some spaghetti strands.

Hair is like the easiest thing to paint. That's practically a big flat black mass, with a few tendrils. It's very easy to get abstract with it.

Start with the big shape (it's easier to see in thumbnail), then refine and add details, strands, etc.

1) observe
2) draw it

to add to this, the strands would need to follow the forms they are laying on, namely the pillow and the back.

The first step to do when you're stuck is draw a moaihead

step 2 is sketch out the basic figure
Make note of shapes in terms of light and dark/values

add more details as you render and flesh out the sketch
