Although the design of the braid may seem simple, it cannot be very clear.

Another easy way to think about the shape of a braid is to type a “pile of bricks,” as shown in the picture above.

Drawing Straight Anime Braids

Step 1 – Basic Frame of Straight Braid

To get straight anime braids (basically just hanging down), draw a straight line in the middle of the braid and then draw two circles that will show the outer shape of the braid. You can also draw the basic shape of the end of the braid tail.

Step 2 – Internal Lines

Draw two more lines inside the outer vertical lines near the centerline. You can delete the middle line after that.

Step 3 – Building Line Drawing Completed

Now project a set of short straight lines (filed at the bottom) from each outer row of threads to the inner line farther away. This will give you a basic braid shape.

Step 4 – Basic Braid Drawing

Inside these building lines, you can draw a “curved” shape of the braid.

Step 5 – Completed Direct Braid Drawing

You can add small tips for hair curves inside the braid for a finishing touch.

For a curved anime or manga style weave, draw a curved line that resembles the type of curve you want the weave to have. In this line, draw lines representing the external shape of the thread. And you can add a basic braid tail shape at the end.

Step 2 – Internal Lines

Draw another set of curved lines between the outer shape of the thread and its centerline and erase the center line afterward.

Step 3 – Building Line Drawing Completed

From each outer line of the braid project, a set of slightly curved lines to the inner line at a distance. This will give you a basic shape of the curved thread.

Step 4 – Braid Basic Curved Braid
