DRAWING MANGA GIRLS

Here is another feminine hairstyle, perhaps for a more mature female character. It
has full bushy bangs falling down to eye level, and a high, full ponytail falling down in
the back, before curling up at the end. This is a style that can be endlessly varied
in terms of color, to suit lots of different characters.

Create a basic head

with eyes, nose,

mouth, and ear. Add

closely spiked bangs,

with more widely

spaced spikes falling

from the top of the

head.

Now add some widely

spaced locks from the

top of the head, falling

down to shoulder

level. Finish with a flip.

Outline an area of

highlights behind the

bangs. Make the spikes

of this area echo the

spikes of the bangs.

Start to ink. Ink the

lines you drew first,

then draw the locks

from the top of the

head, and finally draw

those down the back

to the flip.

Next outline the high-

lights behind the bangs.

Color the area of

highlights in a medium

red-brown, color the

rest of the hair with a

slightly darker shade,

and then use a dark

brown for the ends of

the bangs and hair.
