There are lots of ways you can dress up the hairstyles on your characters to give
them individuality and style. Here we have a wide elasticized headband that sits
across the bangs and under the body of the hair at the back. The cut itself is fairly
neat and frames the face nicely on either side, with a rich green color.


Draw a basic head,
with eyes, nose,
mouth, and ear. Start
the hairstyle with a
wide headband across
the top of the head.


Next, add spiky bangs
below the headband.
Keep the spikes
chunky: you only need
three or four above
each eye.

Now create the
outline of the hair
itself. There are a
couple of spikes on the
crown, then the hair
falls loosely to about
shoulder level.

Outline two areas
of spiky highlights on
both sides of the head,
one near the top and
one closer to the ends.


Start to ink. Work
around the profile
of the hair, the spiky
bangs, and the head-
band. Ink behind the
headband, where the
bangs fall.

Color the highlights
using a pale green.
Then choose a darker
green for the rest of
the hair. Finally, color
the headband brown.
