Male Hairstyles


Sometimes the most effective haircut can be the most simple. Here is a standard
crop, very popular with trendy young males and also tough guys and gangsters. It’s a
simple shape following the contours of the hairline, and can be filled predominantly
with black, but with a slight area of color if needed.


ShORT CROP


From the end of the wavy
line draw around the top
of the head, down and
along the ear, creating a
sideburn, then work up to
join the wavy line.

You have now created
the basic outline of the
hair, so ink over it.

Draw a wavy line on the
top of the head, to create a
highlight, then ink the rest
of the hair using black.


To finish, color the high-
light on top of the head
using gray.

Create a basic head with
two eyes, nose, mouth,
and one ear. Draw a wavy
line to indicate the front
of the hairline.
