Many female manga girls are young and fun-loving. A typical hairstyle for this type
of girl could be these huge pink pigtails, held up on either side of the head by hair
ties. The size is exaggerated for visual effect, and the bright pink color makes for a
high-visibility image. The hair is drawn to look slightly shaggy, with lots of movement.Draw a basic head
with eyes, nose,
mouth, and ear. Add
chunky, spiky bangs
across the face: you
only need about half
a dozen spikes.
Add a couple of
pigtails, one on either
side of the head, falling
down in loose spiky
locks. Secure each
with a scrunchie.Create highlights
behind the bangs, from
scrunchie to scrunchie.
Then outline a high-
light on each pigtail.Start to ink, inking the
points of the bangs,
the top of the head,
the scrunchies, and the
pigtails. Add a couple
of loose strands on
each pigtail.
Next, ink the high-
lights. Choose a violet
pen for this: this will
help when you start
to color.Color the hair bright
pink, up to the high-
lights. Finally, add
some violet ends to
the bangs.PIN k PIg TAILS
