Draw Anime And Manga Hair – Woman – This tutorial shows you how to draw anime and manga hairstyles with twelve step-by-step drawings of typical anime haircuts for a female character.

Hair Design Anime and Manga

Anime hairstyles are usually based on natural hair but are often drawn into pieces rather than individual strands. One good reason for this is that if you draw many cartoon frames or many manga panels, it will simply take a lot of time to remove anything very detailed.

An excellent way to draw anime hair is to divide it into several parts: front, sides, and back/top (as shown with each head below).

Drawing Long Anime Hair

Long straight hair is probably one of the most common hairstyles in anime and is easy to style.

Above, you can see the Breakdown of the Example of a Long Hair Drawing Into:

  • Red – Front Hair
  • Green – Side Hair
  • Blue – Back / Top Hair

You can use the same split in drawing some hair extensions too. This way, thinking of hair can make the painting process much easier to manage.

With this in mind, we can move on to the actual drawing process.

Step 1

Make hair/haircut easier so you can erase parts of it later. Start by doing a head painting first and a hair guide. Although the hairline is not so important as it is full of covered hair in this particular style, it can still help you determine the perfect length and total length of the front and side sections of hair.

Step 2

Draw the hair on the top of the head and the hairline as in the example above.

With this hairstyle, where the front part of the hair is cut short, you can style it into small sharp pieces.

Make the “side hairs” long enough for their slightly curved shape. You can also divide it into a few small lumps along the edges.

Draw the upper part o “back hair” very well by following the shape of the head (a short distance from it) and extending until it is finally hidden behind the shoulders.

Step 3

Wipe the hidden parts of the head and hair and add a few lines to show the inner curling of the front and back hair. You will usually want to place these strands between the hair strands as this is where these will usually form in natural hair.

Step 4

Next, add another wrap to the “back hair” to give more detail of their shape so that it doesn’t look just like a flat cut.

You can also add basic shading to make the hair stand out once you have finished the line drawing.

Drawing Short Anime Hairstyles

The example of the short haircut above is very similar to the long haircuts that fall into three essential parts on the front, sides, and back.

Step 1

Repeat the drawing of short hair on the head and hair. As with the previous example, the hairline will not be as important here as other hairstyles, but it can still be helpful.

Step 2

You can paint it like the first example if you want beautiful hair. However, also very similar to long hair, draw a section of “front hair” with a collection of small clumps. The hair will be much worse in this case, so that the chunks will bend differently.

Step 3

The same as before wiping any part of the scalp hidden hair and drawing the lower part of the back hair. It is usually a good idea to leave this section of hair on the last part of the line drawing, as in the preview of the head; it will be in the background behind most of the hair sections. If you try and paint it yourself first with some hair to arrange the “outline” of its location, you will probably end up with dashed lines, and you have to do more erasing.

Step 4

Add internal folders (just one in this example) and, if you like, a basic search.

Drawing Anime Haircut (Hime Cut)

With a haircut, draw a bunch of hair with flat ends that look like a razor has cut them.

To look good, the different hair follicles should usually be drawn pointing in the same direction with the clumps next to them, and any change of law should be gradual.

Anime Hime Hair Drawing Step by Step Drawing

Step 1

Start by drawing the hair and show the hairline. In “Hime Cut,” the hair will also be covered with hair.

Step 2

With the first natural hair drawing, you can start with the sides, followed by the back. You can show the front part of the hair in just one line.

Step 3

Now draw small sections of hair on the front and sides to make them look natural. Clear the line between breaks when you’re done. You can also wipe any part of the head covered with hair.

Step 4

Finally, and similar to the first example, add some lines to the hair on the back to show the various inner curls. Try and draw these with random space and slightly different curves. If you put everything in balance and make all the curves very close together, the hair will not look natural.

Drawing Dirty Long Anime Hair

Long dirty hair is almost the same as the original model but has more follicles. And it can be divided into three parts as all other examples so far.

Step 1

As some examples begin by painting the head and hair. Hairstyling will help you ensure that there is no distinction between “hair extensions” that go too far.

Step 2

To make the hair look dirty, draw front strands facing different sides and different shapes and curves. You can remove some wavy, and some will turn in one direction.

You can do the same with external clumps on the sides of the front section. Draw the middle part of these lumps to the very bottom. This will also give you an additional view of unruly hair.

Step 3

Now draw some random extra hair strands from the back parts of the hair. This will make the beautiful looking back hair look dirty again. You can also add a pair (or more) clumps to the inner parts of the “side hair.” You can delete the hair frame where you want to draw it or add and delete the scattered structure later. Next, you can add the lines separated between the same hair extensions and other examples. Complete the line drawing and wipe the face and head parts covered with hair later.

Step 4

Since this model also has long back hair, you can draw on some of the inner bars to make that section look like natural hair. You can also make them a little more wavy than other models to make the hair look dirty.

Drawing Anime Pony Tail / Hair Tie Back

Another common anime theme is the ponytail. You will notice that there are no side hairs in this example (except for small hairline pieces on the sides). Therefore the hair may be divided into front and back sections—the back covering the hair over the head and tail of the pony.

Step 1

Draw a headband and show the hairline that is more important with this hairstyle than the previous examples, as some of them will appear in the last drawing as already shown.

Step 2

You can very well add the front hair of this hair in just three turns—two on the sides and below. As mentioned, there are tiny side hairs in this example as the hair pulled back exposes parts of the hairline.

Draw the back hair just a little above the head to meet the sides.

You can draw a ponytail by the type of question, such as shape. Although ponytails are usually straight back with anime hair, you can remove them slightly on one side to make its profile more visible. You can also add a small split at the end. Otherwise, the ponytail may look like a sack enclosed with a drawstring.

Step 3

Similar to the “Hime Cut,” drawing on some small sections on the front part of the hair and erasing the lower amount of the “front hair” to create gaps between them. Also, wipe the hidden parts of the head and hair.

Step 4

You can also give the hair a bright glow if you like. You can also customize a few extra lines in the hair to make it look a little different than the “Hime Cut,” which usually has very thick “front hair.”

Drawing Anime Hair More Than One Eye

To get hair with hair over one eye, you can also divide the hair into front, sides, and back. With this style, the front part of the hair will be much more significant and will adhere to the “side hair” near the covered eye.

Step 1

Draw the head and hairline in the same way as the other examples.

Step 2

With this hairstyle, draw the front strands long enough under the face to completely cover one eye. For “extra hair,” you can remove a section on the side of the covered eye to somehow protect the front hair.

Draw the different back hairs into two curves which are very attractive for the shape of the head as they come down at the end and come out in pieces on each side.

Step 3

In the lower part of the front hair, draw a few small clumps that appear around the top of the neck area. Wipe off any loose lines on the head that should be hidden in the hair when you are done.

Step 4

To wrap the drawing, you can also add a few lines to show the separation and curling of the hairs from between the hair strands.

Drawing Anime Pigtails

Pigtails are one of the most common styles of anime hair. Like the ponytail pattern, you can see that this particular pattern may be broken on the front and back parts of the hair. With “back hair” divided into head and pig hair. There are only natural “side hair” pieces.

Step 1

Draw the head and hairline. In this example, a large portion of the hair will be visible in the final drawing. It will also help us to set the front part of the hair.

Step 2

Although most of the hair in this example will be pulled back, you can draw clumps on the front part of the hair on one side to make the hair look a little more interesting.

As already mentioned, there will be no side hair except for small pieces around the top of the ears. Draw the upper/back part of the hair that connects to that side hair.

In natural pigtails, draw them like the “Ponytail” pattern, which is almost the same as the marks of two questions in their overall form and one that is avoided.

Step 3

Now add random hair strands from pigtails to make them look more exciting and straightforward any loose lines created. Also, wipe the scalp where the hair hides it.

Step 4

Add a few lines to show some wrap in pigtails and optional shading.

Drawing Well-Anime Anime Hair

This hairstyle can be further divided into three sections front, side, and back hair. However, the front part of the hair is slightly different from the previous models.

Step 1

Draw the head and hairline. The hairline in this example will be especially helpful in setting the front part of the hair.

Step 2

Paint the side parts of the hair with a non-abrasive treatment and embrace the shape of the face. About the middle of the hairline, draw two curves that go down to the “side hair.”

This will be the “front hair” placed under the sides that will be combed down on top of it. Draw the back hair with a clear split in the middle with two curves going to each side. This will help show that the hair has been neatly combed on each side.

Step 3

Add small strands of lower back hair.

Step 4

Finally, you can add a lot of hair hanging down from the middle of the front part of the hair. Sometimes, the hair in that area will be short enough to be placed under the sides, and their roles can hang down. Finally, add some lines to the front of the hair to the sides to help show that the hair is placed under there. This will make the hair look natural and exciting.

Curly Anime Hairstyles

Curly hair is probably the most challenging anime haircut to draw. This hairstyle can also be split into the front and back sides of the front hair, similar to the previous model.

Step 1

Start drawing a drawing of the head and hair.

Step 2

On the hairline, draw two lines to the sides of the head to show the front hair. You can remove these lines with light waves to show curly hair.

The side hairs in this example will be completely curled. You can first draw some lines at the base of the curves to show the amount of hair that will change to the type of “threats” below.

Drawing natural curls first draws its front parts. You can think of them as a corner cut and separated.

Step 3

Now wipe any part of the head hidden hair to avoid confusion and add back lines of hair curls. You can think of this as the front legs are complete.

Finally, you can draw some parting at the end of each curl.

Step 4

In the last step, you can draw a tiny squiggle of hair hanging down from the middle of the front section and add some lines under the back hair to show the inner curl. Make these lines wavy than the previous examples to show curly hair.

Drawing Anime Hairstyles

Hairstyles are an unusual but popular style of anime hairstyles. This style can also be divided into front, side, and back hair.

Step 1

Repeat the painting on the head and hair.

Step 2

Draw “front hairs” into small bumps that point in the middle of the face and sides, as well as many other examples.

Draw “extra hair” with slightly curved “hug” faces.

Make “back hair” a great curve around the shape of the head.

Finally, draw real hair clips with a specific oval shape, each half-hidden behind the “back hair.”

Step 3

In this step, erase the hidden parts of the head and hair

Step 4

Draw some curves inside the hairband. You can draw this randomly but try and follow the outer curve of the banner at least a few lines. This will help create the kind of “ball-shaped” look that a hairdresser often has.

Drawing Dirty Short Hair Anime

Short dirty hair is manageable and can be divided into front, side, and back sections.

Step 1

Like other examples, they paint the head and hair, to begin with.

Step 2

Draw the front part of the hair with outer strands attached to the sides instead of sitting on the forehead like many other examples.

Add side sections with shortcuts from the opposite areas.

Draw the back hair slightly apart on one side, and the two curves that come out of it eventually turn into hair follicles on each side of the head.

Step 3

Now add a pair of wavy clumps to the top partition by the back hair and another piece of clusters on the inside of the “side hairs.” Wipe sections of hair where you can add clumps and wipe any parts of the head / facial lines covered with hair.

Step 4

Add the lower part of the back hair drawing to the smaller clumps similar to other short hair examples in this tutorial.

Drawing Pigtails for Short/Low Anime

For the final example of anime hair in this tutorial, we have short/low pigtails. Like many other examples in this study, these can also be divided into sides, front and back / top hair.

Step 1

Start by drawing the head and hair like all the other examples.

Step 2

Apply the front part of the hair first, as in this example; it will protrude slightly from the sides beyond the lateral sections. Draw the “front hair divided into smaller pieces and do the same at the end of the“ side hair.”

Make the “back hair” look great by following the shape of the head.

Finally, add the pigtails under the head with slight separation at its end.

Step 3

Clean the painting by wiping the hidden parts of the head and hair.

Step 4

Add some lines to show the heads of the inner curves and folds. In this case, only one clump of the front hair.

Bright Hair

The best hair extensions can make the hair stand out even without the extra complexity and are easy to add.

Conclusion

When painting hair, it can be beneficial to arrange it into separate sections. This will help you master the hairstyle style and allow you to change the hairstyle by changing its various components quickly.

How To Draw A Head And Face Of Anime Girl https://easyanimedrawing.com/draw-a-head-and-face-of-anime-girl/ https://easyanimedrawing.com/draw-a-head-and-face-of-anime-girl/#respond Fri, 18 Mar 2022 11:30:26 +0000 https://easyanimedrawings.com/?p=954 How To Draw A Head And Face Of Anime Girl

Draw A Head And Face Of Anime Girl – This tutorial explains how to draw a girl’s head and face in anime or manga from the front and back.

Before you start drawing, it is a good idea to describe the defining features of the anime style.

Many female anime characters tend to have big eyes, smallmouth, nose and chin, and a round face. The lips are usually slightly defined or not painted at all. The hair is usually cut into pieces instead of individual strands and usually has a nail-shaped appearance.

If you are drawing with pencil and paper, make sure you draw straight lines for the first parts of the lesson as you will need to erase some details later.

Step 1 – Drawing a Head

You can draw a straight line down the middle of the head to look forward to helping ensure that both sides are aligned.

Make a circle or a bright oval to look forward and a long oval to look sideways to help get the top shape of the head.

You can produce two sets of floor lines from the oval/circle around the chin joint for a preview.

On the side view, there will be a kind of retreat in the nose/eye area. Draw the nose in the middle between the chin (covered more in Step 3) and in the middle of the head. You can draw a straight line from the top of the nose down to the chin (verbal details will be added in Step 5). And with a side view, you can draw a line up from the chin and bend over and look at what will later be the shape of the ears to form the lower jaw.

In both cases, draw the chin slightly and almost straight but with a slight curve at the bottom.

You can see the primary curves and head shapes of anime or manga styles in the example above.

Step 2 – Drawing Ears

To set the ears, draw a horizontal line directly between the head and draw another line between that and the chin. Draw ears between the two lines.

By setting aside, the view of the ears will be placed more slowly behind the head than before.

Step 3 – Eye Design

Anime eyebrows can vary depending on the style and type of character, so there is no sure way to place the lower part. To put the eyes on the head, you can use the same straight line to identify the upper part of the ears. Draw eyes directly below this line.

If you are drawing both ideas simultaneously, make sure that the bottom of the eyes is the same size. Common mistake budding artists often make when drawing the same face from different inconsistent views or facial features with a different size.

Also, note that you can create a simple eye shape at this stage of the drawing process and leave details later (included in Step 7).

Step 4 – Drawing the Nose

As mentioned earlier, you will want to place the nose between the point across the horizontal end of the face and under the chin.

You can draw the nose as just a dot in a side view anime in the front. The nose is usually tiny and sharp.

Step 5 – Oral Drawing

To the mouth is a bit trickier to put as you will first want to get the position of the lip down to do it. Also, keep in mind that when it comes to anime and manga, the lower lip is usually not drawn to the preview of the characters.

The lower lip will be placed between the nose and the bottom of the chin. Draw the mouth itself a little above that.

You can probably draw a lip like one or two lines (actually just one line with a break in the middle to look ahead). If you look for a happy/friendly-looking character, you can draw him in a slight curve.

In the picture above, you can see how the first straight line from the tip of the nose down to the chin can be used to help you draw lips.

Step 6 – Hair Design

Add hair.

Keep in mind that the hair will transcend other characters’ facial features. But it is still a good practice to paint those, especially as they may be noticeable if you choose to paint a different hairstyle. You can wipe the parts covered with hair when you are done.

You can simply remove large sections of hair extensions in this section without small internal hair details. Adjust the clumps slightly with the shape and direction to give the hair a more natural look.

Step 7 – Drawing Small Face Details & Completing Line Drawing

In this section, you can clear the face parts covered with hair and add small details o the eyes like eyelashes, pupils, and highlights. You can also shade the eyelashes and add some points to the hair.

When painting the eyes, you can highlight the highlights (light reflections) with straight lines so that when searching for the eyes, you do not hide them again by mistake.

When you are done, you should have a complete line drawing of the head and face of an anime girl.

This is technically a finished painting, and you can leave it as it is, but if you want to go slow, you can move on to the next shading step.

You can see the drawing of the finished line of facial features without hair in the way in the picture above.

Step 8 – Applying Shading

You can add a basic blur to your drawing to make it stand out more.

Anime uses the “Cel” blurring style (fundamental blurring without gradients), making blurring faster and easier.

The way shading is used will be determined by two factors: naturally dark areas and shady places thrown into them.

Dark Places

You will usually want to make the hair darker and the eyes’ irises (leave the highlights white). Hide the pupils and the upper part of the iris even darker.

In the Shadows

The light source determines the way the shadows are distributed. As a result of this study, we will be dealing with “normal” light conditions where shadows are often thrown down.

In This Case, The Shadows (Top To Bottom) Will Be:

  • Forehead – from the hair
  • Eyelids – because they are decorated on the head (less light reaches)
  • Over the Eyes – from the eyelids (somehow you can choose the ones that are the smallest to see)
  • Nose – on one side
  • Below the Mouth (optional) – from the lips.
  • Neck – from the head

Conclusion

This tutorial provides general guidelines for drawing a woman’s face in anime or manga style.

How To Draw Anime & Manga Male & Female Hairstyles https://easyanimedrawing.com/draw-anime-manga-male-female-hairstyles/ https://easyanimedrawing.com/draw-anime-manga-male-female-hairstyles/#respond Thu, 10 Mar 2022 15:29:36 +0000 https://easyanimedrawings.com/?p=878 How To Draw Anime & Manga Male & Female Hairstyles

Draw Anime Manga Male Female Hairstyles – This tutorial explains the basics of drawing different anime hairstyles for men and women and manga. It also provides detailed model drawings from the front side and back view.

Anime hairstyles and hairstyles have different ideas.

Head and Hair Shapes

Before painting the hair, it is good to understand the shape of the head and hair, as shown in the examples below. It can be beneficial to start painting your head before painting your hair, especially if you are a beginner.

The head shape in anime and manga is usually very close to the actual head shape but may vary depending on the style.

The head can be drawn in a small oval shape (usually less than the actual head). Looking forward, the top of the head is close to half a circle.

In this lesson, we will not draw different facial features with other head parts as that is already integrated into further studies.

Drawing Various Aspects of Anime Faces for Them:

  • Anime Eyes
  • Anime Mouths
  • Anime Live
  • Anime ears
  • Hair Growth Guide

Since anime hair is a simplified version of natural hair, it is a good idea and basic idea of ​​how hair grows. The example above is with the male head, but the same can apply to the female lead.

The Hair Begins to Move Around from the Top/Back of the Scalp and Grows Mainly in the Following Ways:

  • Top Hair – Grows Mostly Forward
  • Back Hair – Grows Mainly Down
  • Side Hairs – Grow Very Low
  • Drawing Short Anime Hairstyles

Anime hair is often styled into clusters similar to natural wet hair.

Draw short hair (both male and female) and stand out near the pattern of the hair on the top with small bumps at the end. Draw lumps that point slightly at each other, and some are far apart to look natural.

Drawing Medium Length / Long Hair anime

Drawing medium-length or long anime hair is like drawing short hair but drawing hair into huge pieces. You can also think of sideburns as separate parts over the topsides and back hair for long hair.

Drawing  Anime Combed Hair

The example above will show the hairline as the hair is pulled back / cut back. So you can also see why knowing the basic shape of the hair is essential.

When painting the hairline, draw lines to make it look natural (real hair does not fit perfectly).

A Cut / Fine Drawing Of Anime Hair

They can almost look like a helmet for well-cut hair (such as the famous “hime cut” as an example commonly used in various anime and manga). To make the hair look a little more natural, draw some split ends in the lower hairline as it shrinks.

Drawing Anime Pigtails

To get the pigtails to draw some lines around the pigtail tail to show that the surrounding hair is pulled to the side of the pigtail. With many pigtails, you can draw a split line on the hair where the hair pulled in different ways meet (for example, looking back at this).

Curly Anime Hairstyles

Draw curly pieces of anime hair like a fountain. Short sections of curly anime hair tend to pull like normal hair or with some light curls. We will also draw slightly curly hair at the end in this example.

Conclusion

There are many types of anime hairstyles, but the examples given in this tutorial should give you a good foundation for continuing. Yes, you can always check out natural hair and hair examples from actual anime and manga for more reference.

How To Draw Anime Facial Hair – Beards and Mustaches https://easyanimedrawing.com/draw-anime-facial-hair/ https://easyanimedrawing.com/draw-anime-facial-hair/#respond Sun, 06 Mar 2022 10:34:26 +0000 https://easyanimedrawings.com/?p=866 How To Draw Anime Facial Hair – Beards and Mustaches

Draw Anime Facial Hair – This tutorial looks at drawing anime facial hair, including beards, mustaches, and sideburns. Like other facial features, a specific facial hairstyle can help emphasize a particular type of character.

Examples of Anime Face Painting Hair

There are many ways to paint anime or manga facial hair. This lesson goes beyond some basic and simple examples. It can be beneficial if you are a beginner.

Normal Facial Hair Structure

Before painting a beard or mustache, it is good to have a complete understanding of the shape of facial hair.

Although facial hair may vary in shape for this study, we will look at a prevalent example. Like the picture above, facial hair is usually grown from the sides to the hair on the cheeks. Then the hair falls out from the nose and bends over the upper lip. The hair then grows down to form the lower lip down to the chin, but openings on each side of the lips to the floor.

If you want to paint a character who looks like he has not shaved in a few days but does not have a beard or mustache, he starts by painting the hair structure described above and then puts a little shade in place. You do not need a visible frame around the shape as the hair is too short to be defined, but you can draw very few short hairs.

Drawing a Beard Full of Anime

Drawing a full beard begins with removing the perfect shape of the hair, as described in the previous example. Then you can somehow draw the hair down and finally draw some bumps on the edges. Draw clumps facing the opposite side to make them look more natural.

This type of facial hair would be a good fit for a character who has been out in the wilderness for a while away from civilization.

Drawing Anime Beard With Mustaches and Sideburns

This type of facial hair is similar to the previous model but with shaved cheeks and shorter in length. It can give the character a lot of “manhood” but at the same time give it a more “sophisticated” look.

To paint this type of facial hair, you can also paint the general shape first (but with the cheeks shaved) and then paint down. Draw a few small clumps at the end.

Drawing Anime Beard and Mustache

This type of beard and mustache often gives the character a sophisticated look like a doctor or a scientist.

I am drawing this type of facial hair again, as in previous examples, starting with the perfect shape of the upper part of the hair and the project is down.

Drawing Anime Beard With Sideburns

The side beard can give the character an extra “spiritual look” as a monk as an example.

To paint this type of hair, you can leave the beard and cheeks “blank.” Draw sideburns connected to the beard and the part where the facial hair grows from the chin.

Drawing Anime Goatee

The scapegoat is easy to draw as it is long fur under the chin. In anime and manga, it can often be seen in the characters of the “criminal” genre.

To draw a goat in the example above, draw hair that grows down from the lower lip but does not touch (leave a good spot) and spread out as they fall. Draw light lumps at the end.

Drawing Anime Mustache

When it comes to anime mustaches and manga like the above example, they are rare, but you can see some of the characters in retro-style themes.

To paint this mustache, simply draw it under the nose and leave a space between the mouth (this is where the upper lip can be, but the lips are usually not drawn in anime). And hair. If you want a mustache with long hair, then you can even cover your mouth completely.

Conclusion

Anime facial hair is not very difficult to paint, but just like natural hair, there are countless variations. This tutorial offers some of the basics, but if you need more help, you can always check out the work of other artists and real hair examples.

How to Draw Anime Hair Blowing in the Wind https://easyanimedrawing.com/draw-anime-hair-blowing-wind/ https://easyanimedrawing.com/draw-anime-hair-blowing-wind/#respond Sat, 05 Feb 2022 05:10:47 +0000 https://easyanimedrawings.com/?p=484 How to Draw Anime Hair Blowing in the Wind

Draw Anime Hair Blowing Wind – This tutorial explains how to draw anime and manga hairstyles that blow in the air in different ways from two different perspectives in a few examples.

Hair extensions in various ways are often used in anime manga to add amazing effects, show weather conditions, or show the direction (and sometimes speed) of a character’s movement.

Being able to show the hair movement convincingly while at the same time keeping the anime style can be a little tricky. This study uses simplified drawings and split hairs to make things easier, as described below.

Dividing the Hair into Different Parts To Make The Drawing Easier

If you are drawing anime haircuts like this in this example, it is good to think about it as you divide it into the front, sides, and back/top. Looking at the hair as individual parts instead of large clumps can make it easier to figure out how they should go when styled in different ways.

You can see the different parts of the hair shown in different colors in the above-colored pattern as follows:

  • Red hair – previous
  • Green-side hair
  • Blueback / over hair

You will also want to know the location of the hairline as parts or all may be visible depending on the shape of the hair. The hairline will also help you have a rough idea of ​​where the different parts of the hair are attached to the scalp. This will help you estimate what the hair should look like when presented in different ways.

Drawing Anime Hair Blowing Side Drawing

When drawing anime hair blowing sideways, the front view of the head is a great way to go. This idea will allow you to show direction and waves of hair easily. If you could, for example, choose a side view, most of the hair will be covered by the head, or it will point directly at the viewer, and it won’t be easy to draw from that angle.

To start a real drawing, make a drawing of a light line of the head (and hair) and at least the body parts the hair will reach down (if you want a full view of the hair). As mentioned, we will not draw facial features in this tutorial, but if you like, you can make a simple drawing of those as well.

Above this drawing, draw large shapes of hair (front, sides, and back).

Normally short hair will turn in the wind while long hair will also spin. With this in mind, you can draw short front hairs that are already curved towards the wind, while long hair on the back can have a “wave” similar to standing.

Please pay attention to the hairline and make sure you do not draw individual hair strands so that it appears to tear at the scalp. Usually, the base of the locks should stay in the same position as the hair in its natural state. This can be confusing as the front straight hair follicles are slightly curved. Could you do your best to measure their placement?

You can draw short haircuts by simply bending one side and long back hair with a “wave” over them.

Draw the main shape of the back hair dividing into smaller bumps towards the end. Try and draw these in different shapes and sizes to make them look natural.

You will also notice that the part of the hair that will be hidden behind the body is also shown in the example. The reason for drawing in this way instead of simply drawing two separate lines at once is to ensure that both ends will follow in the right order.

To wrap the drawing, erase all the head/body lines that should be hidden and add a few strands of hair that will come out after the main shape of the back hair. You can also add a few lines here and there to curl into the haircut.

Finally, pass the visible parts of the head and body with black lines to complete the drawing.

Drawing Anime Hair Blowing Back Painting

A side view of the head can be very effective in drawing hair that blows back into the air.

To paint this hair type, you can use the same heads as in the previous example. Draw short hair curves at the back of the head followed by the large shape of the back hair.

Reassemble the small/thin lumps on the back hair after drawing their main shape. Delete any scattered lines after you are done.

For hair blow-up, you can use a side or front view. In this example, we will go with the previous view, but the same principles will still work when drawing hair in a side view.

The hairline becomes even more important when you are drawing hair extensions upwards as you will need to determine the location of the lower parts of the front hair clumps and sides.

You can draw the lower ends of the front hair extensions that pass slowly, but if you want to show a very strong wind going up, you can draw a full line of hair. In the lower parts of the side fur, you will usually want to draw some curves as the hair in those areas tends to grow down and usually will not point straight up even if there is wind in them.

In the upper and lower extremities, you can draw clumps near the lower extremities of the hair in their natural state.

Draw the back hair facing upwards as an onion or flame shape of the candle separating towards the edges.

And after you have finished painting the main conditions for the hair, add a few extra strands to the back and erase any “see” parts to complete the drawing.

If you are painting a haircut, it may also be good to use a side/profile idea.

You can also apply the suggestions in the first and second examples of drawing front and side hair clumps.

Back hair painting is where things can get tough. Unless you want hair to hide your face, you will want to put most of the back hair on the far side of the face. You can also draw this part similar to the back hair in the first two examples in this tutorial.

To make the hair look natural, we will also draw part of the front hair extensions in front of the head. You can paint the assignment small and place it around the neck to keep the face very open.

To complete the drawing erase any scattered lines on the face and body and add extra clumps/wraps to both the back and front part of the back hair.

Conclusion

In general, anime and hairstyles can be very difficult to style, especially if you want to show them moving or blown in different ways. By applying the split method and starting with the important parts of the hair, you can make the drawing process a bit confusing and easy to manage.
