Can a black pen be used to outline red hair?

i'm drawing a picture of a girl with red hair. could i use a black pen to outline her hair like i'm doing with her face ect or should i use a red pen or just no outline. i have already drawn the outline of her hair by the way. thank you.

It depends on the style of the drawing. If you're drawing her realistically, then I wouldn't use black to outline - it would be too sharp of a contrast; you could mix it in with red for the shadowed areas, however.



Otherwise, go for it. It all depends on how you, the artist, envision the final piece to be.

Use a very fine pointed pen and don't outline the whole head of hair..use dash like lines...see how you like that..then outline the whole head if you think it will work..

Unless it's a cartoon, don't do it. A black outline tends to make things look flat, without dimension.

YOU are the artist. It is up to YOU to decide what is best for your illustration.
