Female Hair


This is a straightforward shoulder-length cut with full bangs. It’s softly feminine but
can be used on a harder-edged character if needed, so it’s very flexible and a good
one to practice. The orange color makes it very striking, and glossy white highlights
make it look like a healthy head of hair.


Draw a basic head
with large eyes, nose,
mouth, and one ear.
Then create spiky
bangs across the front
of the head.


Add the rest of the hair,
working from the line
of the bangs downward.
You want to make the
hair fall in thick strands,
so you need to make
very few lines.

Now outline an area of
highlights on the top
of the head. Keep the
lines bold to work with
the rest of the hairstyle.

Ink over the main lines
of the hair, including the
accent lines you created.


Outline the area of
highlight above the
bangs, then color
the rest of the hair
bright orange. Go
over the color again
toward the tips of
the hair and bangs
to make it darker.
