Here is a slightly fussy head of curling strands, which fall down either side of the face
and down the back of the head. It’s a very feminine, rather old-fashioned style, which
would possibly suit a period story. The highlights give it a slightly more up-to-date
feel, which could be exaggerated by using different colors.Draw a basic head with
eyes, nose, mouth, and
one ear. From a point
on top of the head cre-
ate hair that finishes in
spiky bangs.From the top of the
head, draw up and then
down to shoulder level,
creating a flip up. Add
an oval next to where
you started this piece.Add a lock of hair in front
of the ear, curling this in.
Complement this with a
similar lock on the left,
again curling this in. Draw a
spiky line behind the bangs.Start inking by outlining
the top of the hair, from
the part. Then ink the
bangs and the curling
locks flowing down.Ink the spiky line that
will form the edge of
the highlights. Create
spiky outlines of more
highlights, two on each
side of the face.Color the hair dra-
matic black, leaving the
highlights white.CURLY STRANDS
