Drawing Manga Boys

(Nancy Kaufman) #1
This is a simple-looking ponytail, bunched at the back of the head. The cut is a basic,
unremarkable style, and would probably suit a character unconcerned with fashion
and trends, perhaps somebody from a rural background. The white highlight around
the crown helps to emphasize the round shape of the haircut.

bLAC k PONYTAIL


Starting where your
last line finished, draw
around the top of the
head, adding three
spikes at the crown,
and continue your line
down to the top of
the ear.

Add a ponytail with a
curly, flicked-up end
flowing out behind the
ear. Then indicate a
spiky area of highlight
on top of the head.

Ink around the profile
of the hair, including the
ponytail.


Now, using black, color
your hairstyle. Leave
the highlight you pen-
ciled white, coloring
the top of the head.
Leave some white
flashes on the ponytail,
then color it.

Draw a basic head
with eyes, nose,
mouth, and ear. Then,
starting at the ear,
draw spiky bangs.
Continue the bangs
well outside the head.
